Note that the Maryland sales tax credit for EVs under $50,000 doesn't kick in until July 1, 2023.*

https://mva.maryland.gov/vehicles/Pages/27300-71T.aspx

So there may be an upside to your truck arriving in 2H 2023. (Assuming you optioned it to sticker price below $50,000 or the MVA interprets the "base purchase price" to be the price after deducting the Ford private offer discount
I had no idea. Thanks for the tip. Now I have one more thing to worry about ;). I optioned it just to a little over $50K with the new price. If they count Base as the new $46K or the actual price I pay, I may have a chance but I am thinking the likely scenario is that it will be in 23 but before Maryland kicks in. I would be happier if they took all incentives away and made a rock solid charging infrastructure that allowed even a Pro battery to travel in Peace.

Well, the thread for the 10/24 build week appears to be accumulating some Pro models. @Maxx, any luck?

@TaxmanHog does Ford schedule production dates throughout the day on Thursday or is it one and done first thing in the morning? I'm wondering if I'm wasting my time checking throughout the day to see if I've been scheduled. Thanks

Did you order the mobile power cord? I'm wondering if I should remove it from my order.

I was asking about this in another thread, the consensus seems to be to remove it. There are so many alternatives that are cheaper (to include rebates from Federal incentives, utilities, etc...). Was also pointed out there are folk who don't need the mobile charger and are selling it at a discount.

Yeah, I posted earlier that I can get 2 chargers for the $500 Ford is charging. (Including a 40a 14-50)

At this point I just want to make sure that something as simple as portable power charger isn't affecting my build date.

I got scheduled this morning. No mobile 'charger'.

It seems crazy that that would delay production, but I agree with you that it's not worth the risk of delay if for some crazy reason that's the issue.

I don't think it is.

Others are getting scheduled from MY22 that still have that option on as it was included previously.

I wanted pretty much the same thing. With the tax credit possibly not being in play I had to think long and hard about whether the extras would be worth the

I removed it from my order if that changes anything for your thought process.

My Pro just got scheduled for 10/24! Woohoo!
Did you get an email or did you find out by checking on the website tracking? I know we ordered around same time. I’m from NJ so hope that help speed up the process.
