Anyone who bought a first-generation EV thinking it wasn't going to depreciate at an accelerated rate compared to other vehicles must not have thought much about it ahead of time, it was and has always been very obvious that this would be the trajectory for these values. If you weren't sure...

Popular ≠ Universally beloved. My post was only describing the likely goals of the policy, I'm not personally endorsing or defending the policy or its motivations.

I don't think the issue is as much about protectionism for American companies and jobs as it is about avoiding complete dependence on a rival country for an increasingly important technology (batteries). Similar issues with ICE vehicles being dependent on chips for which there was no domestic...

The intent of the original tax credit was to give EV's a chance to gain market share until they could reduce costs enough to be marketable without the subsidy. It was primarily focused on influencing the behavior of the consumer, and it has already succeeded. The intention of this portion of...

Yep, it's a step in the right direction but isn't enough. I'm sticking with my MYLR order with the full $7500 tax credit for now. If the Ford dealers start offering significant discounts below the newly lowered MSRP, I'd consider jumping back to an RWD standard range Premium.

My dealer now has 22 in stock, 2 in transit, and just took time out of their day to call me to ask if I wanted one for immediate delivery at MSRP, $5,000 less than they were selling their limited inventory for 3 weeks ago. Instead of buying one, I called back to cancel my reservation. Ford's...

My Ford dealer just left me a voicemail letting me know that they now have Mach-e's in their inventory and they can sell one to me at MSRP so that I won't need to wait for my ordered Mach-E to be built. They had very steep ADM's a month ago when I checked. I haven't yet told them that my Model...

The MME was purpose-built specifically to compete with Tesla, it never would have existed if the biggest fish in the EV pond was the Nissan Leaf or the Chevy Bolt. The MY and MME are very similar and likely the most often cross-shopped EV's on the market, so a change in the price of the Model Y...

I tried, but currently you can't spec an MY Performance with the 3rd row. Since the cap is $55k for the 5-seat MY, no variation of the Performance will qualify, but you can get a Model 3 Performance with a tax credit now. I aspire to that type of relationship with money, but for me currently...

-1 MME buyer here. Went to the Tesla showroom as soon as I heard about the price cut. I'm taking delivery of my MYLR later this week, will call the Ford dealer and get my deposit back once the deal is done. I already have a VIN for the Tesla and it's in my local area, so now it's just a matter...

This is an old joke that turned into a myth that won't die, often you'll hear dealership techs parroting it as fact. https://www.torquenews.com/1083/car-talk-helps-bust-myth-soy-why-rodents-are-eating-your-car-s-wires Here's my list of vehicles that have been damaged by rodent chewing (usually...

Thanks for the replies and discussion. Unfortunately, as soon as I got off the phone with Morgan Hill and went to call Ford to have my order re-routed, the unresponsive local dealer accepted my order, making it impossible to reassign without outright cancelling and requesting a refund of my...

Hello Mach-E forum. I was wondering if anyone knows of a dealer in or near the SF Bay Area that would be glad to accept a new order for a Mach-E. I made a reservation for a 2023 one week ago. In the time since, I've responded with all of my order details and contact information to automated...
