The 2021 Ford Mustang Mach-E has yet to arrive in showrooms and already it appears many dealerships are asking premiums for the all-electric crossover.
Prices for the entry-level Mustang Mach-E starts at $43,895, but the first examples to hit the roads will be the appropriately named Mach-E First Edition, which starts at $59,900. Ford has been accepting pre-orders for quite some time now, but those who failed to secure an order may have to pay an expensive premium at their local dealership.
Taking to the Mach-E forums, a handful of posters claim dealerships are adding excessive premiums to the EV, with one person claiming a local dealer is requesting $15,000 over MSRP for the Mach-E.

While trying to make a quick buck out of a new model is nothing new, we don’t condone it – and the good news is that there is a way for customers looking to lock in a Mustang Mach-E without paying a cent over the MSRP. In fact, the Mach-E forum has a growing list of dealerships that have confirmed they will not charge customers an Additional Dealer Markup (ADM), The Drive notes.
In the lead up to the Mustang Mach-E’s market launch, Ford has dropped new information about some of the perks buyers will enjoy. Most recently, Ford said buyers in the U.S. will receive 250 kilowatt-hours of free charging from Electrify America’s fast-charger network. That equates to between three and five full DC fast charges depending on the Mach-E variant and the size of its battery pack.
Earlier this month, Ford also announced the range-topping Mach-E GT will be available in Cyber Orange and Dark Matter Gray, in addition to the existing Rapid Red Metallic, Star White Metallic Tri-Coat, Iconic Silver, Grabber Blue, Shadow Black, and Space White.
