Latest 2023 Mach-E Order Guide [Updated Monthly]

[ktn]

Not a big deal but it looks like 2023 completely dropped the Active Park Assist.

I've never used it...

Wow: a huge price increase. It seems I lucked out with the timing, even though it took 9 months from order to delivery. I ordered it with the 'ice white package', which is dropped for 2023

Thanks to price protection, I paid the 2021 MSRP price for my 2022 premium eAWD extended range. Add to that the loss of the tax break under the new rules. That makes buying the same MME over $18K more expensive now at MSRP.

That is a whopping 33% increase in less than a year...

Wow I was looking forward to pre ordering a Mach e but the price increases are ridiculous. A premium with extended battery will cost me 70k… no thanks what a ripoff

This is exactly why I think dealerships will now have a hard time marking up these cars. Nobody will pay a mark up on top of outrageous pricing.

Wowzers. So we ordered in November 2021 and our Premium ER AWD with interior protection package and the cyber orange option, both added costs, came out to $57k before A-Plan. Now a 2023 Premium SR AWD without interior protection or a color up charge are that much.

Makes me even more torn on Options vs straight up just financing the thing. I know both allow eventual buy out, and I haven't heard back yet what options incentives will be available to us (if any) to push it over the edge. But owning this at a pretty good price, it seems, might be worth it. Especially since no surprise changes came for 2023 that would make them more valuable in the used market over our 2022.

I get that Ford needs more margin, but prices really need to be going the other way on all EVs like GM is doing with the Bolt. Then again, maybe for now this is good until the public charger infrastructure gets their act together...

This just means that Bolts will be more sought after. With all these price increases, no way the bolt stays that cheap.

Ford also dropped the ice white package, adding a little additional rarity value to my MME.

Yep, same situation on ours.

We lucked out with our 2021 F-150 PowerBoost as well. Not only is the same order of my truck now about $5k more expensive, you get a lot fewer features. Ford removed active park assist (which I don't use, but it's still there vs not there), a lot of the interior lightning, which I do like. They removed the temperature from the temp control knobs, which I really like and am glad I have. And a bunch of other things related to the chip shortage. Only 2021 and a few months of 2022 F-150s have the things they took away, and the 2022 trucks cost more to get them.

Unless the 2023 F-150 reintroduces a bunch of those things, the early F-150 owners will have pretty unique examples of the truck with more features than follow up years by a large margin.

I'm not paying an extra $8k for an order I signed on for in early Feb. There are a lot better vehicles at this price point. Ford has failed big time. Especially if they do not horn original price. Lawsuits are coming. that's totally breach of contract. What are they going to offer, free mud flaps with their $8k price hike?

I was so excited to be honest. First the mark up was 5k to 43k for base now another massive markup where the second lowest trim with an extended battery costs more than a GT did. With the inflation bill we’re out of luck with the tax credit too. I feel like a sucker for waiting so long to only hear about it now. Paying 70k for a mid package ford is an L.

The price increase is a real bummer. A typical premium AWD SR will be around 60K. Even if 7500 tax credit remains. It is still in the same price bracket as the luxury compact SUV segment. Can it really compete with BMW X3, Audi Q5, MB GLC or Genesis GV70?

Yeah, I still don't know how GM can afford to make that move. They did it with full knowledge of the chip shortage and supply chain issues and "inflation" and that. It's not like an announcement they made over a year ago or something.

I wonder if they are using the Bolt as a loss-leader vehicle. They are breaking even or maybe taking a small loss to get people into the GM EV family because they expect those owners will move on to the Silverado EV and Blazer EV and that in a few years, and it's a semi-captive audience for a rapidly growing and competitive market.

It helps that the Bolt is good EV too, rough battery issues early on aside. Too small for us, MME is what we want for sure, but it's certainly an attractive vehicle for many.

Didn’t they offer a $1,500 incentive last year? They’ll probably do that again this year.

The thing that shocks me is the massive price increase. I know that cost have jump but holy crap that is massive.
The price of the non extended range AWD premium I swear is more than what I originally paid for my 2021 extended Range premium and honestly they have not really added anything to them. They 2022 do have a front button and they do not have those POS dividers that I still need to get around to removing.

Has yours been converted to a '23? Ford has price protection on vehicle orders. My November 2021 order is being honored at the original agreed price. Your dealer could play games, but Ford should honor the price.

We've got a 2023 VW ID4 on order to go along with our Mach-E. Seems much more reasonably priced now. ?

But EVs are all the rage right now. And if Tesla can get those prices, I guess ford thinks they can too. EVs play by different rules. I agree that those cars you listed are more luxurious, but there’s something about driving an EV right now that trumps those shortcomings. Maybe it’s the instant torque, or gas savings, or convenience of not having to go to the pump, or pride of ownership that you’re an early adopter and no longer reliant on gas? Who knows, but people are willing to pay these prices to drive an EV. Hyundai is charging 60k for an EV. Great EV, sure, but it’s still a Hyundai.

This is wild, I am glad I got my Mach-E when I did. I wonder if prices will go down in a year or two when the chip shortage eventually clears up. I can't see them keeping the higher prices if they need to stay competitive with others on the market.
