Ford site just updated, Premium now 6+ months order time ?

[Carmel Mach E Auto]

... one of which is still (just barely) for sale new, the Fusion PHEV (which is no longer called the "Energi").

Don't forget about the Escape SE Plug-in which just recently hit the market and is now actively consuming Ford EV credit allocations just like the Mach E is. It might very well be selling at a rate similar to the Mach E, although I don't think data is available.

There is also the Corsair equivalent which I expect will sell in small numbers but will also draw from the same pool of Ford manufacturer EV credits. And there's the Aviator Grand Touring, but that is likely very low volume as well.

Maybe stated here, a reminder just in case...

The rebate lasts until the end of the quarter in which the 200,000th unit is sold.

Edit: tax credit.

Tax credit, not rebate.

Tax credit, not rebate.

I fixed it, but it is a rebate against a purchase that's delivered in the form of a tax credit.

Either language... it's running out.

WOW, I ordered a rapid red, AWD, ER two months ago as well. The dealer told me it would take 8 to 10 weeks for delivery! LOL! I knew this was way wrong but just smiled and said; OK sounds good. Flash forward 2 months - don't have a vin or build date yet. Dealer has no idea. I asked and they just started mumbling about chip shortages. I figure I will get it when I get it. Not a day sooner.

Sounds like they were feeding the same line to the dealers. Fortunately I have no urgent need for the car, so I'll wait. I'm sure I'll be glad I did...maybe by football season?

It’s actually two quarters after the 200,000th is sold.

Ah, better yet. (Dealers don't know squat. Told me 1 qtr.)

The language is confusing, think of it as usually 1.5 quarters roughly. This IRS announcement for GM can be used to illustrate:

GM reached the 200,000 threshold in Q4 2018. All subsequent EV sales for the remainder of Q4 2018 by GM were still eligible for the full amount as were sales made in all Q1 2019 by GM. But by Q2 2019, the reduced amount kicked in.

So let’s say Ford hits 200,000 in May 2022. Everyone buying for the remainder of Q2 2022 would be eligible (i.e. until the very end of June 2022), as would buyers for all of Q3 2022 (all of July, September, and August 2022), but starting October 2022 the phase out would begin using this example.
