Carlos Tavares's departure from Stellantis follows increasing pressure due to poor sales, particularly a 17% drop in US sales amid legal battles and executive exit.
Tavares, known for cost-cutting, faced criticism for his mismanagement of brands like Jeep, which lost market share and contributed to the overall downturn in sales.
Dealers have accused Tavares of 'reckless short-term decision-making' that has led to devastating consequences, emphasizing that his prior cuts have created long-term demand issues.
Despite some reversals in strategy like bringing back models, many dealers believe the damage from Tavares's leadership decisions has already impacted Stellantis's market position.
