The dealer should be able to keep the 7500 and discount that back to get you to 73 or so. $13 more for ev. A wash after fuel savings if you drive a lot and have reasonable rates.

Yup. Ford is steadily raising the price. The Lariat base in your screenshot is over $10K higher than it was 2 months ago.
Not until 2024 I believe. For 2023, it is still a tax credit to be claimed
And even in 2024 you still have to qualify for the tax credit to pass it on to the dealer.

No idea what they are talking about, I'm limited out of the credit under the new rules

12:17 (738 seconds) talks about dealer but the whole interview from the beginning was excellent. Easy to watch/listen a x1.75 (gear icon)

Will never buy a ford after what they did years ago to a community . Watch the documentary MANN vs FORD. I think it's on HBO. It's eye opening

Are your eyes not open to the lithium and cobalt mining that is CURRENTLY doing what Ford did 50 years ago?
Or does that not count because it is in a poor country overseas? Out of sight out of mind, clear conscience.

provide some more information on this so I can look into it. Assuming someone has double standards because ‘it is in a poor country overseas’ is interesting…
And I stand by my original statement. I will never buy a ford because of their past

Cobalt Mining: The Dark Side of the Renewable Energy Transition | Earth.Org
While cobalt is the mineral conundrum at the heart of the renewable energy transition, cobalt mining is associated with environmental and social issues.

The toll of the cobalt mining industry on health and the environment
What exactly is cobalt, and what are the health risks for those who work in the Democratic Republic of Congo's cobalt mining industry?
www.cbsnews.com
A CBS News investigation of child labor in cobalt mines in the Democratic Republic of Congo has revealed that tens of thousands of children are growing up without a childhood today – two years after a damning Amnesty report about human rights abuses in the cobalt trade was published. The Amnesty report first revealed that cobalt mined by children was ending up in products from prominent tech companies including Apple, Microsoft, Tesla and Samsung.
There's such sensitivity around cobalt mining in the DRC that a CBS News team traveling there recently was stopped every few hundred feet while moving along dirt roads and seeing children digging for cobalt. From as young as 4 years old, children can pick cobalt out of a pile, and even those too young to work spend much of the day breathing in toxic fumes.
The Environmental Impact of Lithium Batteries
During the Obama-Biden administration, hydraulic fracturing was accused of causing a number of environmental problems—faucets on fire, contamination of drinking…

Lithium extraction harms the soil and causes air contamination. In Argentina’s Salar de Hombre Muerto, residents believe that lithium operations contaminated streams used by humans and livestock and for crop irrigation. In Chile, the landscape is marred by mountains of discarded salt and canals filled with contaminated water with an unnatural blue hue. According to Guillermo Gonzalez, a lithium battery expert from the University of Chile, “This isn’t a green solution – it’s not a solution at all.”

Check out the oil spill on the Keystone...
Use google maps to look at the refineries in La and Tx. Not to mention the gas being flared off in West Tx and other places.
Then consider how Russia is killing a lot of people using it's oil money.
Oil is power. I'm glad to take that power away from foreign governments.

All for that, let's not pretend the current emerging alternative is some holy venture without bad actors and collateral damage to humans and the environment.

Yeah, about that…
Tesla (TSLA) significantly increases its electric car prices across its lineup
After a year of increasing prices almost every month in 2021, Tesla slowed down the rapid rise in prices across its electric vehicles in early 2022.The last major price increase was in March 2022 – followed by a smaller one on long-range vehicles in April.
But now the automaker is back at it.
Today, Tesla updated its online configurator overnight to again increase prices across its entire lineup.
And prices are beginning to fall.
And as they make more, they can reduce prices even further while maintaining a healthy profit margin. I’d bet most automakers envy them.
Does something need to be perfectly clean before it’s considered a success compared to the old method?

Tesla doesn't open up it's order books for a week out of the entire year. You can go online and always pay whatever the MSRP is. In fact, ahead many of the price bumps, it was announced that the price was going up.
Screw Ford! I say this as a Ford truck owner. Their pricing shenanigans have seriously turned me away from the entire brand.

Tesla does exactly the same thing everytime they release a new model vehicle. Nothing new to see here. With that said, dealerships still should rot in hell

Ok, do I really have to mention that my battery is half the size? Sorry I'll be more specific next time
