Mach-E May 2025 sales rose 11% to 4,724 units

[MattG93]

I got 1.99% when I signed in mid-May, but I don't think that is an advertised deal. They had 0% if you did 48 months as a listed special, but the difference is tiny, and now I can pay less on months when I feel like it. (like when I get to replace my entire electrical panel in the house!)

Last May had 23’s freshly price slashed with a 0% financing deal and 24’s on the lot also.

What did this May have?

Tariffs and uncertainty.

Ah... context that would have been appropriate to include in the article.

Hard to sell what’s not on the lots to sell. Having a few standard range ‘24 Mach E Select available in white isnt a compelling choice. We are in June and have no ‘25 options to purchase. Doesn’t take a rocket scientist to do the math there.

This exactly. Due to a life sitch I have to buy and buy ASAP, so went to my dealer and was shocked that he had one white one with white seats/beige interior, and an el strippo grey one with beige interior. That was it. He'd ordered a bunch of them six months ago, and they're just now getting built. I don't know if there was a problem with the '25s where they had to pause production or what.

Thankfully there was a perfectly optioned out one with the colors I want on a train due here in a couple weeks max. Put a deposit down. Struggling along with a car with a shot transmission and myriad other issues, but not for much longer.

So I have a question, I see below one ? and one laughing their butt off emoji, so my question is with the concept of this great new beautiful bill, they mentioned the no tax credit on Tesla, but they didn’t say anything else about other electric vehicles. is that pretty much electric vehicles across the board that are no longer gonna get a incentive ?

"The legislation would also add a new $250 annual fee for EV drivers, imposed by the Federal Highway Administration. Such fees are hypothetically meant to correct for the fact that EV drivers don't pay gas taxes. However, Consumer Reports has calculated that the proposed fee is more than three times what a typical driver of a new gas-powered car pays in gas tax."

Ouch. The entire article might as well have been called, "Why China is going to kick our asses in EVs due to political stupidity".

And I’m guessing the EV extra charge is in addition to what the state charges you when you get your tags?

News organizations aren't supposed to add opinion and context. They're supposed to report the news objectively. i.e., here are the facts.

Now, if they asked Ford for comment, and Ford said, "Well, we had supply line issues with the 2025 F-150 Lightnings, or 'Consumers consistently said they like the new x feature on the 2025 Mach-E", well then that's another matter.

Since when do news organizations report news objectively? Maybe never??

Prior to Reagan repealing the fairness doctrine.

I updated my car's registration in Pennsylvania and 2 weeks later I received a $200 bill for the EV Tax. It said I couldn't register next year if I didn't pay $200. Well, at least I have 12 months before I have to deal with that. Is the electric company going to give me refund to help pay the EV Tax

You got it! My tags are going to be at least $300 with the extra EV charge baked in. I currently pay about 130 on a Subaru.
It’s insane. It’s like we’re being punished for beta testing this technology which will help Michigan in the long run.

Makes more sense.
Meanwhile the res of the world is moving away from fossil fuels at a rapid pace.

No, they are collecting taxes to fund/maintain the roads that you drive on. Why should EV drivers be exempt from chipping in?
