Chevy just announced more details of the upcoming Equinox EV-- Fall '23/Spring '24.
Not an exact comparison, but Ford better get on the ball.. compact/mid SUVs are a HOT competitive segment.

You could always take the Ford financing with the streamlined closing process and then pay it off in a couple of months.
May be worth it vs paying the ADM. No guarantees they won't try to insert ADM in there but I *think* it is harder for them to do so.

If its anything like 2022 invites, you'll see them show up on your Ford.com account WAY before you get an email-- if you get an email at all.
Waves 1-6 MY22 people started seeing it in the afternoon on their ford.com acct, so I'd keep checking there every few hours and would not depend on the...
I do wish there were more chargers on the East side of Harrisburg. I go down i88 to i81..then 15 south to Gettysburg.
The Scranton charger is a bit off highway, prefer to deep charge in Harrisburg since we stop there for food anyway.
(The only dcfc in area is way west of town-- Carlisle)
A lot of states give you a reduced rate at night. Buy a smart EVSE so you can schedule charging during reduced rate hours.

The mass adoption of EVs is going to be painful for the next several years for many years. We are going about teaching something new to the public that has the attention span of a fast food commercial.
The current charging infrastructure can be navigated in most place with some planning and...

*IF* Ford were to desire to run up the price on these they would not talk about how they are ramping up production next year, etc. (That would be counteractive)
*IF* Ford were desiring exclusivity they would sell a "first edition" model at a premium....most automakers are doing...
Uhhh.. no Ford is Not.
The dealership model literally prohibits this.
Ford sells the truck to a dealer for set price, who sells it to you for another price. Two different transactions. The price you pay the dealer has no effect on the price the dealer paid for the truck..and vice versa.

Thanks for the heads up, but mine is set to go into production very soon. Also std range.
Honestly, $10k is fair given the price increase and potential loss of tax credit for 2023s.
Must be a customer abandoned order.
They obviously took a different approach than GM(or Rivian)--
Ford is after existing f150 owners or potential owners who they can convince to go electric. The tagline is-- everything you love about the f150(the looks, the feel, the utility) only much better.
Also-- Ford is trying to dominate...
I agree. Although it is hard to believe, I do think Ford got caught flat footed by demand. I do not think the "shortage" was planned in any way to either enhance uniqueness or drive up price.
If I'm being pragmatic, It is believable that Ford would have underestimated demand somewhat. At...
