CA Clean Fuel Reward started today for extra $1500 off at purchase for EV

[eltonlin]

I just wrote to Serramonte Ford. You should write to them too. The more people write to them the more motivated they will be to do the paperwork

I posted this earlier in the thread- got an email from the GM that they started the process.

Must be quite a process...my dealer El Cajon Ford said they submitted for this two months ago. I emailed the CA org that runs this and they have no record of that...

Just checked the SCE website - the $1000 credit through them is ending 12/31/20 . . . https://evrebates.sce.com/

I think this $1500 credit is replacing the individual utility rebates. Still better - $1500 versus $1000.
Just have to get my dealer on board. I have sent the info to Vista Ford in Woodland Hills. Hope they sign up!

I am getting mine from there as well, I was going to reach out next week to ask them to sign up for the program also.

I asked AutoNation Tustin this week if they've signed up for the program.

Definitely do. I have not heard back from them on applying yet. The more that bug them the better.

The Ford Store in San Leandro, CA submitted the application as of Nov 20th.

The GM of the dealership Gus Knezevich replied to me on November 20th:

We just submitted our application so we should be listed once the process of our app is finished. Thank you for letting us know.

I emailed the day of announcement (Nov 17th) and made it clear that it was brand new. Glad they got everything squared away on their end. I think I'll be OK as I don't even have a build date yet, but I hope the administrators of the program don't delay too much.

UPDATE Dec 11th: The Ford Store in San Leandro is now listed!

What happens if the car arrives before the dealer is approved? Is there any procedure to process a claim retroactively?

Not sure - as this is a direct dealer discount. Best option is to keep bugging the dealer. I also sent an email to the contact email on the program website asking what to do in the same situation and enquiring if my dealer is being processed. Will see if there is a response. If they say yes registered but processing that is a different issue from nothing from your dealer yet. In that case I plan to send that response to the dealer and followup.

I have seen the list grow quite a bit from the first day but no sure why so few Ford dealers are currently on that list.

Emailed my dealer (Galpin) as well.....

Great!!! I was going to send them the info.

The Ford Store Morgan Hill is applying too...

Livermore Ford / Lincoln just told me, "The General Manager has chosen not to join the Clean Fuel Rewards program right now, maybe in the future." Are you kidding me? Over 25 orders at this dealer and they are choosing not to save buyers over $37,000? This is a crime! All they need to do is fill out paper work to save their customers money. I will switch to one of the other 5 bay area dealers that are enrolled if Ford will let me. This is terrible customer service from #Livermore_Ford.

I don't understand.

It would make more sense to me if they charge $1500 ADM so that they can pocket the $37000. That would be bad, but it at least serves a purpose.

But they're telling you that they prefer to just leave that on the table. Why would they?

Maybe they want you to cancel, so that they can get a lot of Mach E on the lot? They can't force you to cancel blatantly. Maybe Ford corporate can't really fault the dealer for high numbers of cancellation if all the dealer did is not signing up for some program.

No Kidding!
Money is available from the state and they are saying, "who cares". Makes no sense.
