Posting a little late as I picked up by FE on Friday.
My car was at Covina Valley Kia in Covina, California. I brought the dealer letter, window sticker, and a printout of the program. So first was the test drive, I immediately fell in love! The car is fast, handling on turns is great and there is little to none road noise. Love the parking features, automatic door handles, and spacious interior. UI is quick and responsive just looks a little plain. I mean I'm coming from a Rav4 Hybrid, it's like night and day... Odometer was at 12 miles
A couple of other people were also picking up their FE's. There was no markup but had a protection package. I showed them the letter, they basically said take it or leave it as they could sell it for a markup if I chose not to take it. So when they were typing the paperwork I had to remind them about the $100 deposit. Then the California Clean Fuel Reward gives you $750 off at purchase. They thought it was a year end tax thing so I had to show them the printout that I brought. They put the $850 towards my down, not sure if that was correct. So all including tax and fees came out to around 68,700. I've driven it for around 140 miles so far and have no regrets whatsoever.
I financed through Logix Banking as they had the lowest rate, thanks @jamisonl

I've applied for the CA HOV decal using the temp license plate which I've read on other forums it has worked for some people and others not.

I also qualify for $2000 rebate from the California Clean Vehicle Rebate Project which you can check:

Not sure if there are more incentives besides the 7500 fed tax.
We're supposed to get 1,000 kilowatt-hours (kWh) from Electrify America, but I can't seem to get the promo code working.
How many different charging station companies are there? Is there an app for all of them together?
I've purchased a few things that I'm waiting on:
1. The UX-999 Pro, thanks @Cnsheets

Since I have to wait around 45 days for my Level 2 Charger gift, I went ahead and bought a Lectron Level 1 Charger off of Amazon for $199. It's been working, just slow as hell....I started at 5:25pm it was at 65%, then a little over 15 hours later at 9:02 am it was at 93%....
