I can't get into my order page now.

Used a different browser and mine says government grant is applied. Maybe they are honouring the £3000 for orders on the system but new cars ordered after today will not get it.

I'm back! so after cancelling my order but still watching the site I'm so sorry to see that the grant has been pulled

I do however HOPE that Ford UK stop ripping off UK customers and reduce the price of the base model to the maximum of £35k to take advantage of the new grant parameters

One of the reasons I cancelled was the annoyance of how bloody expensive cars are here. As an Aussie, Australia is in the middle of nowhere with a third of the market size I could have gotten cars far cheaper here than I could here in the UK -it doesn't make sense

Anyway, if they did reduce the base model to £34,999 to take advantage of the grant than I would be in like flynn!

Hopefully Ford do something and lower the price

Couldn’t access my account for a while but now back on and still showing the quoted price and £3,000 grant.

Here’s hoping it’s correct. ??

When I look at my order , the grant pricing is reflected but i dont see a line item for the grant. It just says Dealer OTR Promotional price

Wow think Ford have had a fun day like us as just had my dealer email me yes this late! and said he is waiting for written confirmation but has been told that all confirmed orders placed before midnight last night should not be affected. Let's hope that comes in writing tomorrow and bring on normality (like some things I missed earlier wonder if I will get sun roof noise and will my infotainment screen whine etc etc ?)

That would be a £5k price cut and why do you say they are "ripping off UK customers" ?

Yeah utterly disgraceful behaviour by the government. Especially making out that they were subsidising wealthy people's cars which is just a cheap shot. The cars were given a subsidy as the battery costs are so high, so in order to get the similar spec of a £30k car we spend an extra £20k and then needed the incentive to help out.

If it no longer affordable fine but just leave it at that ministers.

Wish my dealer would email me. I'm still waiting after three days to tell me if my car is on a ship. Thankfully Hannah confirmed this morning.
Let's hope your dealer is right.

What address are you guys using for Hannah and the concierge?

My dealership has gone quiet on me - and I’d like to say a “Hi” the the online team.

that would be brilliant if it is confirmed... especially as on the system I still have TWO on order

 

[SteveUk]

Yes, anyone from the UK could be making a serious error of judgement if they cancel until we find out where we stand.

Mine still shows the grant on my order page too.

Looking around some of the other electric cars order sites and it looks like its messed them up too. Some have taken the grant away completely, even for cars that qualify others have left it in the finance calculator but make no mention of it.

I've told my dealer that if it comes to a three grand price increase then I'm out.
