2023 Lightning Order Bank Opens Tomorrow (8/9)

[bfisher]

so, the PRO is now $7,000 exactly more than 2022...

I imagine ford did that so customers wouldn't see a price difference when taking into account the point of sale 7500. tax credit

Well - this bodes well for the resale of anyone who manages to snag a 2022.

So Ford just got an extra 7000.00 out of the new tax credit and the customer didn't see any savings for the new law

It is safe to assume this price increase was planned before the bill passed in the Senate, but maybe Ford knew something we didn't know?

The price increase have nothing to do with BBB lite. It's commodity prices.

But it does price and extended range battery option out of the tax credit

Agreed - I suspect this increase, combined with the new tax credit thresholds, is going to reduce the reservation conversion rate pretty substantially. Could be good news for those will some extra $$ that didn't get to put a reservation in.

I read somewhere about ford purposely delaying shipments to extend the tax credit for the rest of this year. As I understand it, if 200K vehicles is reached in a quarter, you have the rest of the quarter to qualify even though you go over 200K vehicles. If that’s the case, and if September is the start of the last quarter, we may see the flood gates open for deliveries and orders! Here’s hoping at least! Wonder if they’re only making a few Pro’s and XLT’s

Your understanding is not correct.

Regardless, it’s not a good look after the Senate passes a credit for almost exactly the same amount.

Ug, this is a wet blanket on my excitement.

Am I the only one that still sees the 2022 Price and Build only? How are y'all accessing the 2023 Lightning Price and Build screen?

I am guessing those that extended got an e-mail with a link to the 2023 B&P that isn't live on the main site yet. Just a guess though, I can't see it either.

From a consumer standpoint these price points are horrible. My two options on the XLT is the standard range @ 66,500 (including tax credit) or the extended range @ 85,659. That's a 19, 159 price difference.

I still see 22 pricing as well. But very concerned that all 23 models extended range is priced out of the credit.

22 pricing here as well.
