LOL, Ford raised their EV prices by the exact amount


Aug 15, 2022, 5:33 PM

That buyers will get in “inflation reduction act” stimulus.

No they didn't.***

Falsehood flies, and truth comes limping after it, so that when men come to be undeceived, it is too late; the jest is over, and the tale hath had its effect: like a man, who hath thought of a good repartee when the discourse is changed, or the company parted; or like a physician, who hath found out an infallible medicine, after the patient is dead.

I don't know if what CTom said is true or not....


Aug 15, 2022, 5:38 PM

but it's pretty safe to go with the odds that he's wrong.

Yup, that's how I figured it out, too. :)

Don't know either, but this is generally how things go when

the gubmint enters a private market throwing money around. The market will adjust to the new money stream from the gubmint and retain the overall supply/demand balance. We've seen it with student loans, and lottery money with college tuition. We've seen it with Medicare/Medicaid money and healthcare.

Nope. He's right on this one.

Could be a coincidence? Sure. But this was entirely predictable. Exactly what schools did after the education lottery vouchers came out.

I was just about to post that. LOL

He is right this time.

timing is off though. The raise was known before the bill


Aug 15, 2022, 5:50 PM

passed I believe.

2024 orange level memberbadge-donor-20yr.jpgringofhonor-obed.jpg flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up


Yeah. This is like the Musk thing where the timing was


Aug 15, 2022, 5:53 PM

completely off. However...they very likely knew that the rebate would be in the bill, and I have no illusions they wouldn't have done the same thing even if they didn't know -- just maybe with a less obvious figure than almost on the nose with the rebate.

True but they knew what was coming.

Talking about the $12.5k or whatever for Union vehicles?


Aug 15, 2022, 5:49 PM

I believe Ford just raised their prices by $7500 on the F150 before that was announced.

Problem is, after 2023 they'll lose the grace period for the $7500 tax credit stipulations (no way they have no Chinese sourced content in an EV F150 by 2024) and so it's a net increase of $15k on an F150, before any "inflation reduction" money.

Hey Chuckles, how bout you call one of your GOP reps or senators and ask them when they’re gonna cancel the $16 billion in annual subsidies going to oil and gas or the $4 billion in annual subsidies going to the coal industry.

I'm down.***

Discounts on taxes are not subsidies.***

2024 orange level memberbadge-donor-10yr.jpg flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

Tom continuing to believe anything that confirms his bias.


Aug 15, 2022, 6:22 PM

Ford EVs been eligible for this tax credit for years. The Inflation Reduction Act extended the program that if anything will make Ford ineligible because of sourcing requirements.

Ford raised their prices due to record joeflation. Raising the corporate tax will help, though.

Re: LOL, Ford raised their EV prices by the exact amount


Aug 15, 2022, 8:57 PM

Hey chief, your posts are very informative I had no idea that Joe was causing the inflation in the US. So I guess he must be behind the global inflation from Argentina to Zambia also. Is that right? Could you imagine if we were so lucky to have Trump as president we wouldn’t have inflation in the US and the rest of the world would also have no inflation. ####, we got screwed.

Brandon is hooking up Ford and GM for their union support.

Notice he invited everyone to the WH for a “summit” about EV production, and left out Musk (the #1 producer). Contracts for millions of government EVs coming soon.
