Albany area peeps...

Who did you hire to install your EVSE? I heard Mels Electric may be a good option. Anyone else have an electric company they can recommend?
Mel-carr electric did ours for our Mach-e and I was very happy. (not sure if that is who you meant with "Mels".

We even had an issue where our Grizzl-e died and had to be replaced (warranty replacement), and they did the re-install at no charge.

Just requested a quote from Mel-Carr. :)

Omar at Surefireservices. Has tons of experience with EVSEs and is a really good guy - 518-257-6717.

Pricing was super fair considering cost of copper these days.

Not sure if anybody here would be interested but somehow Depaula Ford managed to get an actual allocation that’s not a mannequin.

https://www.depaulaford.com/invento...ning-lariat-4x4-supercrew®-1ftvw1el5nwg14768/

Me and @Dadalorian13 had a great experience with our orders but they are asking a $10k ADM for the in stock unit. Joshua Halse is who we worked with. Figured I would pass along the info since I haven’t seen an in stock unit that’s not a mannequin before.

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.

No that would be a green window sticker. Blue window sticker would indicate a dealer order.

It has an 0825 blend date. I'm wondering if it even actually there yet. Maybe the window sticker is a reproduction?

I didn’t ask Josh if it was on site yet but the website says it’s still in transit.

I got the dreaded notification that my build was pushed to 2023 after I submitted my order in June. I have a sinking feeling it was because I chose Iced Blue Metallic for my paint color since they are dropping that for next year. I am pretty bummed it likely means I will miss out on the tax credit, but I am asking Metro Ford to change my paint color to Oxford White now in hopes of a miracle!
