Pro models being sent to the great state of Maine that is! We're in this together!

These are the kinds of things I need to hear! Funny story, after my delivery date slipped (2/2-2/7) it was updated on the Ford site to 3/7-3/13. Last night I got an email from Ford notifying me that my delivery date had changed. Uh, Ford, I noticed when a week went by without delivery, you're a...

It's incredibly unclear at the moment. Treasury/IRS said they'll release their final guidance in March. When we don't know. Also hard to know if the guidance will be in effect from that date it's issued, or some date after that. In short, before the final guidance you'll get the $7500 regardless...

The various articles all say that Ford confirmed it. Classic move to keep your customer service in the dark.

Just swap out a few battery packs, easy peasy.

On the plus side I can stop blaming the transport company. The downside is my truck may be sitting for much longer than I anticipated before it ever gets to me. Better that they sort this out now I guess?

Green Car Reports has it as well.

At least they bumped my date a whole month, so I don't have to wonder if it'll get delivered anytime soon. 3/7-3/13 currently.

Well this has me breathing a (potential) sigh of relief. Still would be nice to not have my truck sitting for over a month in a parking lot 2 hours from my house, but if I still get the full tax credit before the new battery regs go into place I'll get over it!

From the white paper, "Until that proposed guidance is issued, the new clean vehicle credit amount will continue to be determined based on the vehicle’s battery capacity, subject to other eligibility criteria, some of which are new or revised by the Inflation Reduction Act."

It isn't the IRS that is meeting, it is the Treasury Department finalizing the actual guidance. They issued a white paper about the anticipated direction of the forthcoming guidance. From January 1st until the guidance is issued all electric vehicles made in North America qualify for the full...

FML. Joining the club of trucks sitting in a parking lot for a month.

Nice having someone with inside info. Keeping my fingers crossed for us both!

Still not here, ETA 2/7-2/13. Date hasn't been pushed back (yet). Hoping it doesn't slip.

I hate hearing these horror stories. I think it is totally appropriate to name drop the dealer that is playing these games, so that others can learn to stay away. I've been lucky that my dealer was upfront from the beginning about the price and didn't play any games (Casco Bay Ford in Yarmouth...

I'm kind of shocked that there aren't more stories about how all over the place peoples experiences are with getting their Lightning. If I was an Auto or EV reporter or blogger I'd be all over this. Click bait central!

You should 100% flag this with Ford, and maybe drop a line to a couple of local news outlets about dealers being shady. This is the kind of story they would love. If my truck arrives and I get the private offer and price protection with no issue, that'll be a stark contrast to your dealer. Maybe...

Luckily there are plenty of cases of people, like Thart53 above, that got the price protection on the spot. It isn't a secret, and the dealer feigning ignorance is forgetting that the internet exists and consumers are informed. Sucks not to bag an extra $9,000 screwing a customer, but thems the...

I'm almost afraid to look, but let's see. Still maybe showing up this week?

Good luck, don't let the dealer push you around!
