2023 Lightning price increased by $7K, do you think Mach-E price will also go up?

Basically with inflation, the benefit of the tax credits gets wiped out, typical smoke and mirrors by our government. Create inflation by spending too much money, then pass a bill to spend more but claim a tax credit to help out EV buyers. In the end, you pay the same price for the car as if there was no credit and no inflation. And do not forget, if you are financing the car, interest rates will be higher.

The Tesla Model 3 should now be eligible for the tax credit, but in the past year the price has increased by about $6K, so does the buyer really get a benefit?

Inflation (CPI) was 9.1% for July (year over year). So. . . all trims will should go up minimum that much. BUT since some materials in EVs have gone up MUCH more I'd expect 10% hike (
$7,500. . . which ever is higher!)
