Ford has huge inventory of Mach E

[Fat Mach]

Serious question- What will last longer, the MME or Rivian? I have a bet on another site and my money's on the MME.

The brands, or any given vehicle?

I just did a quick search on cars.com and some dealers are already aggressively discounting the '23 Mach E's still on their lots.

Check this one out, $10,000 price drop and now $15,000 off msrp, just one of many.

You link doesn't work. Don't just look at the price off MSRP thinking it is a good deal or really even thinking it is a huge discount. It may not be.

Close to the top of the list on my cars.com search... a GT with performance pack and nite pony package.... 2023 Ford Mustang Mach-E for sale in Decatur - 3FMTK4SX2PMA04076 - Lynn Layton Ford $72425 MSRP. Dealer discount $9245. Rebate $3000. Selling price $59,993. Sounds good, right. Is it a good deal?

Look at the sticker. Base MSRP is $63,995. This tells me it is an older job 1 build. The bottom of the sticker shows a build date of 01/31/2023. The car is over a year old now.

The job 1 GT with performance pack is $6000 more than the job 2 with $5000 less on the base MSRP and $1000 less on the performance pack option. In other works a job 2 build 3 months old with same trim and options would be after the rebate and a more modest $3000 dealer discount about the same price. Would you take a $12000 discount on older build or $6000 off on a newer build when it gets to the same price?

I still have not been able to get a dealer to let go of an older build for less than my best OTD offers for job 2 builds.

The oldest of the 2023 job 1 builds now go back about 461 days on market.

I feel bad for the uninformed who may walk on a dealers lot to purchase an older job1 build thinking he is getting a really good deal.

Honestly I am not in the market so I am not digging too deeply but just wanted to show some dealers are aggressively trying to unload older inventory. Try this link, it's the dealer not cars.com;

Dang, that's best I have seen on a dealer website. Thank you for sharing. It's a Job 2 build with September build date. Leasehackr calculator shows you can lease it for 12k/36months for $420 before tax with Ford's RCL $7500 lease incentive and just over $1100 DAS. Leasehackr gives it a 12.6 score which is really good. The fine print does say the charge $2000 for a vip advantage package on all new cars. Hard to know if they would remove. I am looking for an AWD premium with extended battery.

The way I did my cars.com was to just search for lowest price Premium Mach E any distance from me and then verify on dealer websight.

For what its worth, Ford Canada just announced 0% financing on all F150 2023 stock. I hope this and more trickles down to the Mach E

Ford needs to take a page out of the Tesla handbook and slash their prices right now. The moment Tesla had even a whiff of inventory building up, they started knocking the price down.

Difference is Tesla still makes money on every car sold. Can't say the same for the MME.

Very true.

The MME model and the brand Rivian.

I saw a Mach-E today at a rental car facility so it seems Ford is making fleet sales now. I don't think they did so in the past?

Finding others with $12000 dealer discount before incentives.

I'd go for a 2024 GT with $12k marked off

The only viable downside as far as I can see is the current state of infrastructure.
NACS was a major coup for EV's. I have had my Mach-E since August 23 and it has been simply amazing.
Insurance did go up an uncomfortable amount due to "increase on repair costs".
