I got a call and an email from the sales manager at Novato Ford.

He says he manually converted my order so I wouldn't be delayed and that we can make changes to the color and battery on Friday.

I find this quite interesting as I didnt request him to do so. I was actually planning to wait as long as possible to convert the order as we are still on the fence about the purchase.

He also said I dont need to give him a deposit and that the refund from Ford was forthcoming. Ford is also offering 0.9% for 48 mo and 1.9% for 60 mo, a $2500 rebate, and X plan pricing.

The rebate makes me wonder about the conversion rate. His tactic of manually converting the order also seems strange. Maybe he is trying to get as many on the lot at possible.

A bird in the hand? It does make sense that the dealer can do this as some people prefer to have the dealer do these things than doing it themselves online.

I'm guessing Ford. The financing thread confirms this.

CA dropped the EV rebate to $2000, unless you are low income. The vehicle also has to have a base MSRP below $60k.

Those match up with the US numbers. 4914 is about right for an 18 November reservation. Other Norwegian reservations have matched up as well. Thanks.
