Pissed a little ( well maybe more)

I bought my 2024 Lightning Flash in. July and now Ford is giving discount and free L2 charges for purchasers.
how about a little consideration for those of us who bought just for the product!

Yeah. And Ford can send refund checks to the guys that bought 2022's at full price, along with the charging credit too.

I purchased my Lightning on Sun Sept 29 at 4pm Pacific Time. The program was announced on Mon morning Sept 30 in the morning, about 12 hours after I purchased, for a start date of Oct 1. Called my dealer and got the "there's nothing we can do" answer. Sometimes timing is good, sometimes it's bad. It happens.

Or how about those who bought a '23 after the price hike BUT before the EV price crash AND they put the 80k cap on the tax credit AND we had to deal with tons of TCU software issues...oh AND dealers were asking more than MSRP?

Yea, no one should be pissed but me!

My paperwork was filled out no the 30th. Took delivery on October 1st. The 2 separate $1K rebates in September were gone on October first, and replaced by either the charger and installation or a $2K rebate. Same outcome unless you really wanted the Ford charger that bad instead of the $2K.

I like that idea - especially with the significant depreciation!!

I didn't buy bitcoin back in 2009, now it's worth 2000 times as much. Why doesn't Satoshi Nakamoto send me some for the 2009 price??

@Sobmartin Every car company everywhere has incentives at the end of the model year. If you want the incentives, wait and buy then next time. You'll be limited in choices, but they do it just like clockwork with incentive amounts shifting based on supply/demand.

@mattskr - I feel for you on that one. Did you buy it off the lot or order it? I ordered in Feb 2022 and it came as a 2023 in December 2022. I refused to pay the price hike and made sure I told them I wanted the truck for the price I ordered it for. I was really careful not to tell them I didn't want the truck because that opens the door for them to sell it to someone else. It took the dealer 1 1/2 months to come around but managed to get mine for the original ordered price. That one hurt, especially since you probably ordered in 2022 like me and had the price on paper.

Sometimes you get the elevator, sometimes you get the shaft.

I definitely got the shaft too. No good deed goes unpunished

Only you can pull the trigger when you feel comfortable. Some people were day 1 bag holders, and they take the risk. Others here probably still havent purchased and are waiting for a 2025 refresh or killer 2024 deals. I felt comfortable when Ford offered the $7500 off MSRP last November (felt like it was a steal, only lasted for like what, 3 weeks?).
