✅ 6/6 Lightning Build Week Group

[TaxmanHog]

Thanks..as far as you can tell are we (6/6 build date) still eligible for the $7,500 tax credit with expected July/August delivery dates?

Yes, no problems with the availability of the credit in Q3, and probably will be good in Q4 until 12/31/2022 as well. JMHO

Ok....our trucks are about to officially go into production with blend dates of 6/9 - 6/11-12. I hope we get lucky and just squeeze onto a rail or convoy transportation so hopefully to get our trucks by end of the month or first part of July. Are you guys paying sticker, slightly over or way above? Also, will you be trading in a vehicle? I wonder if any dealership will try to "hose" you on the trade as they know if you do not take the Lighting that they can sell if very quickly and more than likely at a significant markup. We may want to do our homework before showing up to the dealership not knowing approx value of our trade. (Carmax, Carvana etc). Good luck to all!!!

I have financing set up so I do not need to trade in, but I will be showing up with the possibility still open. So far I am paying sticker price, but I am worried about showing up and ADM all of a sudden being applied. I am hopeful that does not happen, but you never know. I also have the vehicle in my brothers name, so far I been told it wont matter since we are brothers, but we shall see if that changes when I get there. I called ford and they didn't seam to think it was a problem, but who knows, that could be a reason to keep the vehicle and sell it way above market price.

I am paying sticker. No way above.

I am fortunate to have a Ford family and I get the A plan. So from what I have read (with the new Ford invoice system) this results in about $1,500 below sticker.

My preliminary trade is my 2021 First Edition Mach-e with 21k miles. I was offered $54k by the dealer; the higest offer (Car Gurus) was $302 more. Not bad, net cost under $5k, plus electricity, to drive for 18 months. If I wouldn't have added the clear bra it would have been under a grand to drive, crazy used car market.

But, I hope that my wife changes her mind and we trade in her 2014 MkS.

I would love to see my 6/9 build by the end of the month, especially if they are pairing held stock with new production for east-bound train cars!!!! Realistically though if it comes by the third week of July, then my initial expectations will have been met!

I have a buddy interested in my F250 PSD, so I will confirm he is still interested, the week the Lightning is set to arrive, if he is not interested by then I think I could get a good private sale price in the local market, last resort would be to trade it.

I would love to get the Lightning at MSRP, but my dealer said they were considering a markup but had not decided how much as of 2/9 sit-down meeting I had with them, we will see on delivery day.

I’m hoping for mine in the same time frame, just in the opposite direction (WNW) and a little farther from Dearborn.

BTW, I appreciate all of the work you and the other Admins do here to keep us all sane, grounded, and factually informed

I was at my dealer last week when my son took delivery of his Maverick hybrid. I was told to expect late July delivery but we are on Canada's West coast so I expected a longer transit time. Getting excited! MSRP with no ADM.

Anyone getting delivered this YEAR will get the full tax credit.

Maybe the MKS can "start having service issues"
Not likely as that heavily massaged Volvo platform is pretty solid!

My blend date is showing 6/11/2022, I just submitted that as an update. I’m assuming that is the “estimated build date”.

Yes, I hate to say it but IN Production has been trending several days past our projected blend date.
