Yeah just put a deposit down in Ottawa today too.

Did you put a deposit down or actually sign lease papers? How long did they tell you it will take?

It's $890 ish. I think the Toronto dealers are a little cheaper still.

So if our cars arrive in July and employee pricing has them at a lower price are we just out of luck?

Signed for one at Yorkdale Ford, great experience. $2100 down, 3 yr lease. $177+tax=$200 a month. That's what I pay for in gas right now!
They expect a 3-4 month delivery time.

The dealer I'm working with told me that if the rebates are better when the car arrives, the better terms can apply. (They also told me a lot of other crap, but that specific point I have in an email from them).
If it's manufacturer rebates that change I can't really see how it would affect the dealer. Of course that doesn't mean they won't try to use a better customer position to sweeten their own deal too.

I made sure to get that in writing as well. Although, as you said, honouring it is another matter.

It doesn't come out of the dealers pocket either way so they will honor it.

Eh, maybe people are different?

Can't speak for others, but I'm treating this from a utilitarian point of view. $9K over 3 years, $600 "gas" for 60,000Km, almost zero maintenance. Even if I hate the way it handles and drives, I'm willing to put up with it for what I'm paying. If I remotely cared about the way it feels or drives, I would test drive the gas Focus, but I can't even be bothered to do that.

just spent some time reading the spec, the car seems too much underpwoer ?
The EV has base curb weight of 3622lb, which is even 200lb heavier than my RAV4 - a compact SUV. 300kg heavier than another focus gas car
The motor is rated 107 kw and RAV4 4L engine is 131 kw; so even less power.
I complete understand that EV can twist rod straight so get better torque, etc. But it is still a bit on the slow side. Especially in highway speed where the straight twist on wheel don't apply.
And max speed is 135kmh, which is considered quite slow and even dangerous for N/A highway drive.
It use p225 tire, much wider than gas car (195-205) as wide as my RAV4, maybe help to slow down the car
That's not quite what I think EV should be
