So what is the final word on the tax credit? Since bill will be signed before we take delivery anything we should consider? I already have a signed purchase order, or do we not need to worry since our trucks are built in USA and provisions for pricing start in new tax year?

Yeah, folks taking delivery this year are fine as long as final assembly happens in US.

I'd guess they would, I avoided spray-in liner and accessories to speed it up. So not sure if you have extras. It would be great to have it in the next few weeks.

That was my thinking too... anything that's dealer installed can be dealer installed later. My guess (hope) is delivery the week of the 12th, but I'm pretty certain it will be in September. If Ford is copying Tesla's playbook Ford will prioritize EV deliveries as much as possible each quarter to show growth in the EV business, even at the cost of slowing ICE deliveries.

delivery in Sept could be a good thing given the end of a quarter and to your point showing delivery growth.

I believe I got a tear tag too. Not really sure how it supposed to look. Shows in production 8/16/22 as well.

I believe they have cut the speed of the line down by 50% to get better quality control.
Things seem really slow for a build week?

I see the In Production dates appearing for the 8/15 blends as 8/16, this is on par with what happened in the 8/8 build week, while the 8/1 build week were listing as the same as the assigned blend day. Reporting always lags 24-48 hours.

Blend Day was yesterday...

I ask myself sheepishly, What is the over/under on how many times I check for my modules and tear tag today?
