Ford isn't going to have much of a choice but to use the $7,500 as a cap reduction on the lease. Yes, they can do any of a number of things to factor it in, but at the end of the day what matters most is public perception. Most people need things very plainly laid out to show a short-term benefit versus a long-term benefit. This is demonstrated by low EV adoption in cities even though frequently the TCO over the lifetime of the EV is cheaper than an ICE vehicle.. But most buyers can't get past the higher up-front cost.
Ford can't afford for the MME to fail so in order to be competitive, they'll have no choice but to use the $7,500 tax credit as a cap reduction. Otherwise, EV buyers who are willing to consider other brands will simply pick a different model.
