"Winding down" has no implication of agreement. It simply means bringing this to an end.

I am in no way a prospect for the Dodge brand. But blindness to what the JDP data reveals also helps explain excessive openness to what Tesla does far less well. FCA has simply demonstrated that engineering vehicles designed for assembly and instituting a repeatable robust process in the plant results in vehicles with fewer defects. Not a complicated idea and unrelated to liking or not liking their particular flavor of vehicles. Tesla is at the literal opposite end of the defect scale, as their very own owners reported to JDP. How can anyone accept them running to Home Depot for wood pieces to mount powertrain components in Model Y? Beneath amateur status. I have zero personal interest in a Charger, Challenger, etc, but if one were to wager on the results of a side by side quality audit of a random new Charger vs. a random new Model 3, there is no doubt where the "smart money" would be. Others would be at the bottom of the scale.
