Calling TK Garage

[Rocket Man]

[1971demon]

Some defense contractor from Nevada with a gambling problem, a bum knee and a bad attitude
Personally, I like to listen to him.

And a substance abuse..and alcohol problem as well...some believe he was not of this world...

Kinda like Hickster ya mean

I talked to Hickster via text, a little while ago. He's obviously still alive. Was in a coma for 9 weeks. Sounds like he's in an assisted living place. His brother sold his Hellcat and he's mad as hell about it.

I gave him the url to the forum.

He lost his license and I don't think he could get insurance.

I haven't talked to him in a long time. I wasn't sure if he was still with us.

Butter in the end was in it for himself

In what for myself? My Demon? Everyone at Dodge would tell you, all the way up to Kuniskis, I never ask for anything, including my Demon 170. I got screwed multiple times out a Demon 170 just like everyone else. I've only asked them in the background to take care of situations for others like when several people were screwed over for Demon's, people's who's buybacks was rejected, or fix one off situations with other people cars. A lot of people in the community, even influencers, come to me in the background for help with situations and I've helped them plenty of times no one knows about.

I literally talk to Dodge and Ram on a weekly basis to fix anyone's problems they are having with their cars, for no financial incentive, and I don't make videos on majority of the things I help out with. I know people don't like when I expose issues but sometimes you need to bring sunlight to a situation to get things fixed.

 

[ButterDaGreat?]

Hey, are you on our board?

What's this BS about Chery...
Opinions being worth what they are, mine is that video shouldn't have been made, unless you had confirmed proof of it.

I usually only discuss situations that will result in products being made but TK's executive sources is solid. There are plenty of discussions with other companies to buy brands from Stellantis, especially the Chinese trying to get into the US market. It was reported last year a Chinese company wanted to buy Alfa Romeo, Stellantis refused to sell, and just today Alfa Romeo and Maserati might actually be sold off.

At the time, it was presented as a lot of speculation, or at least that was my take...

And I felt like it was too destructive (or clickbaitish) for that level of speculation.

Hell one of the names I've "heard" in the background, Tesla was in "talks" with Stellantis and days later it was announced they would buy credits from Tesla again for Europe. So yeah while there are talks, there is speculation on what it could be actually for.

I was under the impression that all of the credits were eliminated??

 

[ButterDaGreat?]

Stellantis still haven't meet the EV sales mix in Europe yet, so the need credits to avoid being fined

Butter has okay info, but for some reason he never learned how to enunciate--he's hard to understand.

Meh...I talk like Peter Griffin (Family Guy) and sound like Joe Pesci so I won't throw any rocks from my glass house!

Out of all the Dodge SM influencers, @ButterDaGreat? is probably one of if not the most humble and least arrogant. NONE of these guys are getting information from insiders that would get them fired for violating NDAs, corporate secrecy, etc. and when some of these jokers act like their Dodge Jesus because they think they know something no one else does because of their super secret boifriend or whatever it's laughable, if not off-putting. Last I checked none of these guys got their Demon 170s for free either, so I'm hardly jealous of anyone who had to pay (MSRP) for one with the fair share of problems they've had. Everything is anecdotal right up until it happens to you!

Well I do have a speech problem actually. Miracle it's gotten to this point but you can see progress from early videos I've done.

Yeah I'm very friendly in the background offering to help out anyone who needs it. I have a pretty good range of sources from the UAW to Stellantis but no way do I think I have the best intel since sliced bread. And no I didn't get a free Demon 170 but I did help several others get ones at MSRP or lower

I haven't gone back to listen to earlier stuff to compare directly. However I did notice that in more recent videos I was able to understand with less effort--so figured maybe I was just getting more used to your speech patterns. Maybe you've also gotten better, or maybe it's a combination of both. Regardless, I'll keep watching your stuff--don't stop what you're doing--I still find it worth the effort. You're not the only friend I have whom I have to really listen to to understand.

It would be a perfect fit if Tesla acquired a Stellantis brand and use all the engineering to develop ICE drivetrains and then use Tesla emissions credits to offset fines. Maserati would be a good one to scoop up

Isn't Tesla from whom FCA bought all their credits in the past anyways?

 

[Unholy707]

Yeah. And they didn’t dry up, the new (ex) ceo just said they weren’t going to buy them anymore

 

[Unholy707]

Those credits were the only way they were able to keep the hemis going

Yep, he would revoltunize the entire auto industry and would make the perfect match for some awesome hybrids. Seems like a match made in heaven, especially since tavares tanked stellantis
