Change your DL address to your friend or family’s address who is living in DAC if you are rejected.
I placed order today in a local Tesla store with inventory. At the beginning, sales person didn’t explain very clearly. Said he won’t process the grant, so I didn’t want to order after test drive. How ever, he got the delivery manager to explain the grant process to me. First, place order; second, sign the grant document and submit to delivery team. Third, delivery team will verify and upgrade the grant as down payment in my account. Then Tesla will inform me to sign the sales contract and loan doc within a week to finalize delivery. The delivery manager said they deal with a lot of this grant during 2020 to 2022. There won’t be any problem for Tesla to accept the grant.
My cousin is not living in dac and income is not qualified for any state program, his parents are qualified and living in dac. His dad will apply grant and rebate total 15k. My cousin will be co-signer to claim federal 7.5k tax credit. Total 22.5k of a model 3. You can check if you have any family member can help you.
Inventory is discounted 2410. My tax rate is 10%. Estimated total was shown 437xx. Tax on 38730 only plus fees and title. Btw, estimated screen also showed 250 order fee apply to car cost as credit. Go to Tesla store, you can have accurate numbers.The max subtotal total price (including tax, fees) is $45000.
The base Model 3 RWD is currently $40240.
Estimate of other fees:
Registration fee: $275
Vehicle License fee: $350
Electronic Filing fee: $31
Tire fee: $7
Destination fee: $1390
Order fee: $250

$45000 - $42543 = $2457
It's going to be hard to find sales tax under $2500 (6%) in any city/county in California for the base Model 3.
Tax of base M3RWD $40240:
@9%: $3621
@8%: $3300

This from the finance page. It may be more detail to understand how Tesla calculates fees and taxes. The total on this page is few hundred more than what I saw on estimates in Tesla store. I will see what will be actual when delivery. (Loan is offered by Chase through Tesla).The max subtotal total price (including tax, fees) is $45000.

That is very well done - just below $45K.
The store delivery team helped me to update grant document (first page approval letter and third page vehicle information with signature), but they didn’t follow up. I called to Tesla back office to have representative cleared the grant. Now I just scheduled the delivery on Sunday. Hope there won’t be any issues when delivery.
