Here's the latest...
My car was driven multiple time on Monday & again today (Tuesday).
At 4:18pm, I received the following email..
"This email is notification that your account is no longer authorized or connected to your vehicle via the FordPass App because FordPass Connect was reset to the factory settings.

To reconnect your account to your vehicle, follow the vehicle activation process in the FordPass App."

I'm not even gonna bother. I picked up a Volvo C40 on Friday (I love it). I took a short term, 5 month lease on it. When the Mach E comes - it comes. No more worrying about it..

That means they did a factory reset on your car. When that happened to me, shortly after it was marked as built and then showed shipped with an estimated delivery date. Good news I think!

Well @ctrlaultdel - you were correct!
First update since 12/22/22
Now all I need is a "Shipped" and new Sticker & a delivery!

All it took was for me to get a Volvo C40 last Friday! ?

Looks like the first of many ETA dates to slip each week...

Mine has slipped over 10 times since January and now they say mid April....

Glad you got a short term Volvo lease.
How much is the monthly with their subscription including their insurance ?

The short answer is, the dealer was running a "Take a Subscription by Volvo and we will pay months 2 thru 5". So if I return the car after 5 months - which I will - it cost me the first month of $1,065 +450 return fee = $1,515 / 5 = $303 a month!
Can't turn THAT down.

So.. I got the "SHIPPED" email this morning, but the window sticker has not changed.
in your experiences, when should I expect that to happen?

According to my sales rep, my car is in Kansas City, and has an ETA of 4/12. I really hope so, so it beats the tax credit change.

It may never happen. You don't need to see a changed sticker online anyway. You WILL get the new price. Gospel from my dealership. I trust them.

Arthur -
I just started a new thread asking THIS question..

Has anyone recently taken delivery on a car with a transition PCO?
Was it stacked on top of the new discounted price?
Was it deducted from the ORIGINAL price?
I was told that my 2022 to 2023 Prem AWD SR PCO was $6,000 (I was also told it was $6,500!!)

I am interested to hear from people who have taken delivery & exactly what they got and what the PCO was deducted from.
I have a 4/8/22 order, was built 12/22/22 and was just shipped today (3/31/23). I am wondering what price I'll end up with.
As it stands, I get different answers from Ford, from my dealer and from the voices in my head!

THANK YOU!

I answered your question on the new thread you started.

Question: do you qualify for the Fed tax credit ?
Do you care about it impacting your finances ?

I am getting very ANXIOUS on mine because I qualify but the deadline is 4/18/23 !!!

Yes - I saw your answer - Thanks!
Of course, the $2,500 answer wasn't what I was hoping for
I don't qualify for the tax credit, but I will be leasing - I CAN deduct lease payments.
I'm guessing that my lease - with only the $500 I already gave them, the $500 NYS EV credit & sales tax down - it will be in the $750 range. We'll see..

Steve, I completely forgot yours was a '22 order. So of course, what I said does not apply to you, or at least I doubt it. Sorry for the confusion.

Yah, when Ford first announced the new price drops in Feb, those that took delivery during the few weeks following got to double dip and get both the $6500 and $4000 price drop.

Then Ford got wise and reduced our PCO to reflect the lower pricing.

If you are leasing, have you considered using a 3rd party leasing company like ALLY or US Bank and see if they offer $7500 net cap cost reduction on the lease ?

If you are able to capture that $7500 off the top, many people will re-finance it after the lease is consummated.

Ford doesn't kick back the $7500 on Red Carpet Leases - they keep it for themselves.

But lots of other non North American manufacturers (Volvo, Polestar, BMW, Mercedes, VW, Audi, Subaru, Mitsubishi) are offering $7500 lease bonus cash.
