Carlos Tavares’ phone lit up at 3 AM with news that would collapse Stellantis’ entire North American strategy overnight. A single policy change triggered a 200% tariff on foreign-made vehicles and parts, forcing one of the world’s largest automakers to make an unprecedented decision. Within 72 hours, Stellantis shut down five US plants, sent 12,000 American workers home, and triggered the largest automotive exodus in modern history. This wasn’t just about tariffs – it revealed something much deeper happening inside the company. This video provides the inside account of how Stellantis abandoned America, and whether they’ll ever return. Questions this video answers: • Why was Stellantis more vulnerable to tariffs than Ford or GM? • How did Canada capitalize on America’s “self-inflicted wound” within just 36 hours? • What happened to the 114,000 dealership employees left without safety nets? • Why did Stellantis’ stock plunge 17% in a single day? • Could Stellantis have rapidly localized production instead of shutting down? • What were the three specific conditions Stellantis required to return to the US? • How did competing manufacturers exploit the situation? • Will Jeep, Dodge, Ram and Chrysler survive as American brands? • What does this mean for owners of Stellantis vehicles? • Could this happen to other automakers?
