5/30 Build Week Gang

[SWO]

US Fed tax credit is discussed at length in many other threads. Current speculation is that Ford will exceed their 200,000 EV units sold in the US in 2022Q3 (July-Sept 2022). If so, $7500 amount remains in affect until New Years 2023, when it drops by half for 2 quarters. Then, 1 July 2023 it drops to 1/4 for 2 quarters (end of calendar 2023). When one buys the MME determines the amount of the potential tax credit. Your own tax obligation for that tax year determines whether you get any of that tax credit. Spending bill had extension and additional $4500 credit proposal, but again, it looks like Congress will continue to be paralyzed on this subject. Price rise for 2023MY seems as highly likely, as "significant updates" does not, IMHO. A cynical guess would say that Ford will take no orders for CR1 or Premium MME in 2023. thus emphasizing Select and GT models.

Yep. My point was, any 23 deliveries will almost certainly be after it drops to $3750, which will almost certainly be offset by a price hike.

I agree. Raleigh is like a next rail stop from Atlanta. It doesn't make sense to add a whole extra month. Either mine will delay or yours will accelerate, hoping for the latter.

I got the "shipped" email today with a 7/14-7/28 ETA. I'm in the Nashville area

Online tracker shows built and delivery ETA is 7/26 to 8/1. Atlanta area. Have not received my shipped email. Ordered on 11/27/21. So should receive on the 8 month mark, just about. Yay!

I don't think I want to spend $2500 on PPF for the front only. Maybe a DIY ceramic coating.

Looks like I am looking at delivery between 8/1-8/7, I'm 1 hour south of Denver.

Yep, just got the same one... my favorite part was the "... When microchips become available, you will have the option to purchase the Active Park Assist feature at the then current price when this feature becomes available." Any bets on what that cost will be? Guarantee it won't be anywhere close to just $325...

I got the same email today. Like you, @kwlinder, I agree that the pricing won’t be close to that initial one.

Speaking of price, I’ve been reading numerous articles and threads in various places where people are speculating on the cost increases for 2023 MME ordering. $5,000 at least seems to be the consensus for the base model, but Premium, AWD and GT variants will, of course, be step-up higher prices than that $5k.

Our cars will be worth even more.

I did that months ago. At some point my dealer told me it wasn't going to be scheduled without the prep kit replacement.
