Last I checked that 50k ford doesnt have anywhere near the same electric range as the Tesla.
At that point we are comparing an Apple to an Orange.
I want a Model X as then the ratio of perceived loss without the $14k will be smaller. 
If I have $650 to spend on a vehicle payment each month then I can only afford the $50,000 car, no matter what brand it is. At that point I don’t care about range or manufacturer or anything, I just want the best car that I can afford. The $65,000 car costs $850 a month and I don’t have that in my budget to spend (yes I know save on gas maintenance blah blah)
I would like an all electric car because it’s the right thing to do and I believe cars like the Tesla Model 3 are the future. But if it’s not in the current budget then I will wait!
Yeh but then you’re paying $50,000 for an “around town” car va something more practical with good range. I know I’m being difficult just the way I see it haha
Is 2k really crazy high? They have shown that they are willing to direct cars to where rebates are expiring. (Washington in May, Ontario in late May/June.)
And really 2k is only half a week of production...
Some feel the SR will have about 350km of range...but it's hard to go back when you had already bought in to LR.

I ordered the car first week of July. LR with 20" wheels. I was banking on the rebate to help me with the down. Thought about cancelling but there's no other car in the market I want...
On that note - anyone know if the 20" wheels come with all season tires? Pretty sure I wont be able to afford winter wheels this year..

I have much less range than 350km on my S60 and I get by just fine. Especially in Ontario with superchargers all over the place. Depe ds on your driving habits too.

This is Canadian media (CTV) running a US interest story not relevant to Canadians, esp. Ontarian's considering this thread is about Ontario EV rebates. This is about US rebates. I don't get it.
It’s CTV. A strategy to distract from the Ontario story.
So I finally got some email responses back. I emailed Ford and Minister of Transport and cc’d my MPP and made sure everyone knew they never responded to my follow up of the canned response.
Not sure if it matters but this was the response from MoT.
“Thank you for your email addressed to the Honourable John Yakabuski, Minister of Transportation. Your email is important to us. It has been forwarded to the appropriate ministry office for review.
Thank you for bringing your concerns to the attention of the ministry”
Local MPP’s office stated that they have “forwarded my concerns”.

Congrats!
Mind if I ask when you placed your reservation and order, and what your config was?
