I mentioned in my new thread that this sucks for people with lower incomes that cannot absorb the full $7500 tax credit.....Hyundai (just got e mail from a dealer regarding the 2020 Kona Electric) calls it a lease rebate and this is applied against the MSRP of the car so the lease payments are less and the customer does not have to worry if he or she can avail themselves to the tax credit...This is interesting and Ford must think a very high percentage of Mach E buyers will be eligible for the Tax Rebate which may or may not be the case. If a customer, wait, this is an Electric Vehicle so we should be called "Clients" to recognize our more sophisticated nature as a group. Clients will be upset at Ford if our Tax Burden isn't high enough to realize the tax credit, ultimately were going to blame Ford. With every purchase Ford should absolutely take the time to explain this thoroughly upfront. I'm not talking a "Sign and acknowledge", but rather a "Dealer must read to Client ensuring understanding. This isn't a small deal, it's 20 - 25% of the price and people will inevitably blame Ford if they don't qualify at tax time. Ford on the other hand, will most certainly have a tax liability and could pass that on directly to the Leasee, but the way described above will take calculations and planning on the purchasers part whether Lease or Purchase. This is really important and shouldn't be overlooked.
