At its investor day in Auburn Hills, Stellantis showed reporters 20 of its next cars coming to the market. The automaker ate all of $26 billion worth of losses from the ill planned shift to all electric, that resulted in stock sliding to its lowest point in all of company history, around $7 a share.
