It’s not based on time just in number sold so …. Depends on how many they have sold and how quickly they sell a lot more.
They are on pace to hit their 200k in June or July this year. If there is no fix until we and a stop sale until then maybe they will not hit it until q4. If that's the case there will be considerable rejoicing in the F150 lightning forums (and probably mme forums as well). Just have to keep the sales numbers of transit EV and escape phev low enough...

200k halves the bonus does it not then another number halves it again. Then maybe once more then gone
I disagree. Ford has taken a consumer friendly pro active approach. They have resolved the 12 volt battery issue and this problem only occurs with DC fast charging and extreme acceleration.
Looking at the Mach E forums, they are not filled with power failure/battery failure and dead as doornail posts.
Ford corporate responds and communicates with the consumer. And, they did not issue a recall where no service dealer has the parts,
More than 5,300 units of the all-electric Volvo XC40 Recharge produced between 8 September 2020 and 13 August 2021 are being recalled in the US. Water could enter a wiring harness, cause corrosion in the accelerator pedal's internal circuitry and distort signals from the pedal
Try reaching Volvo corporate.

1% of that 5300 vehicles has the actual problem. It takes minutes to tell if your is one of them.
Ford also has a recall with no parts available and a stop sale. Grass doesn’t sound much greener to me.
According to Jalopnik, it's going to be an OTA fix. So I guess there is no part needed.

So they don’t have the software. Stopping sales so no hope of a solution on near horizon.
NHTSA reporting on ADS and Level 2 ADS crashes:

Nothing for Volvo. Which I guess is good, since the reporting is mandatory.
Standing General Order on Crash Reporting | NHTSA
NHTSA has issued a General Order requiring the reporting of crashes involving automated driving systems or Level 2 advanced driver assistance systems.

Looks like spending over $125K does not protect you from an OTA update issues bringing their cars

Lucid Air Bricked After Botched Software Update, OTA Team Is Still Searching for Solutions
Software updates can bring nice things and improved functionality, but they can lead to a permanent loss when they go wrong. This is something many people experienced with their smartphones, but having a bricked car is a whole new level. It is what happened with a Lucid Air after a botched OTA...

This is my favorite thread. I can't unsee the mach e's silly little wheels.
That’s not what I’ve seen with Mach-Es I’ve seen in the wild. Seems most like to goose it just as much as we do.

I love the fact our tires can soak up all of our acceleration from the lights without loosing traction no matter how fast one slams the pedal.

....and Subaru too on it's Solterra....not surprising though, it's a joint-venture effort.Toyota recalls bZ4X electric SUVs over wheel that could detach while driving

Yeah, I wouldn't like to know the wheels could be coming off when trying to keep pace with a muscle car next to me at Traffic light -- the embarrassing factor would hurt me first before the physical !
