Sounds like you too are going to wait a year and let the price of the MME shake out and let the market not Ford decide.It's actually not only a bad deal for those who want to lease its bad for everybody.
Lets say you financed the car, after 4 years of paying the car, you run into some bad luck, you lost your job, you had an accident, divorce whatever. Everybody else's premium ev retained 50% of their value while yours is at 40% because those who took the options plan are selling theirs at 40% or 35%. Ford literally devalued your car. Life is full of changes just look at this year. So if you planned to keep your car but are forced to sell, you wont get much of it back. This should not be the case for such a limited production car and not a premium EV.
The irony is that I have had two Ford Edge Spots, MSRP $47,000, with leases of $457 and $407 a month, 36 months, 10K miles per year all in. The leases were so exceptional, my good friend has leased two, also with exceptional leases.
Based on my two prior experiences with Ford, I expected to have similar aggressive leases with the MME.
So you can imagine my shock in seeing the monthly payments for either the option plan or a lease!
If back in November 2019 I was told the leases were in the $800 range with tax included, I would have never placed an order.
