In addition, in 2022 the tax credit can be applied by the dealer for the tax year 2021 as a down payment instead of the customer waiting until 2023 to apply for the refundable tax credit on his tax return. This is a change.
Question:
How would a Lightning with 22-inch or 20-inch Wheels limit Off-Highway Use?
I am not talking about "Off-Road" but more to the issues of Muddy, Dusty, or Wet and Snowy Conditions in Rural Areas.
Also, All-Season vs All-Terrain Tires given current possible options.
I want to expand on the 8,400 lbs towing capacity for the Platinum question. I would like to know what is it about the Platinum trim that makes one lose 1,600 lbs capacity (Assuming both with ER Battery)?
What if I order a loaded Lariat and give up a few of the unwanted luxury goodies on the...
OK - Now what happen? File this under Predictions.
Dems have too many other last minute battles to fight.
They will drop everything except reauthorizing the $7,500 for all manufacturers, changing it to rebate in 2023, and dropping the max MSRP limits for now because they were never going to be...
Today the BBB EV Credit is collapsing. Scores of world countries have sent a warning letter to Lawmakers threatening legal action if they do not make changes in the "Union-Only" provisions.
The Rules Committee, which was to meet today to ok the final version, now, will not meet while language...
Add or Subtract the Following from the Previously Published Chart Above.
The Estimated Size of the batteries is 115 kWh net/125 kWh total (Standard-Range Battery) and 155 kWh net/170 kWh total (Extended-Range Battery). I do not think Ford's cost to upgrade from Standard to ER would be more than...
At this point in time (October 31st) Congress is very close to passing the Build Better Act which would reauthorize new credits for EVs.
For the 2022 Lightning the MSRP Maximum Limit would be either $80,000 (Senate) or $74,000 (House).

And do not forget External last minute political Lobbying.
At the G-20, both Canada and Mexico have threatened Biden to take International action through Anti-Tariff language against the US at the WTO if the Union mandates survive in the BBB. This pressure will carry over to the COPS (Climate)...
The Build Back Better (BBB) Plan (Framework) is in place. If this were "Sausage-Making", the skin is done and the cost of the sausage has been determined, but not the innards.
Now all the players, Senators, Congressmen, Lobbyists, Assorted Staff, are trying to massage the particulars and hidden...
Getting back to the thread discussion…….
Looks like the lobbyists are now fighting over exact language House vs Senate.
$80,000 limit all vehicles vs Cars vs $74,000 Truck

How about marrying stations in the parking lots of declining shopping malls.
Or, adding movie theatres and restaurants to existing parking garages.
And special parking lots at large factories for your...
OK. I admit it. I like making money according to my own moral priciples. If my neighbor loses his city job I am happy to buy his tractor as cheap as possible. I feel bad for him but the next day I haul the tractor to the next county and sell at a good profit. Then I take my poor neighbor a bag...
