So someone verify this but..
If you tell your SA about the grant and provide them with the paperwork, they can apply it to your current reservation number and you don't have to purchase the car right away.
I believe someone on this forum did this and was able to get the grant applied to their reservation before they got a VIN giving them more time than the grant allowed.
BUT DONT QUOTE ME ON THIS. If someone has verification and proof that this works please let us know.
I talked both to Tesla and CVAP. Tesla will only apply the grant in the MVPA. CVAP also wanted to see it in a purchase agreement and with at least a delivery date.
CVAP extended my expiration an extra week. They don't want to extend more than that.
CVAP also said that as long as the grant is applied in the purchase agreement (before grant expires) and WITH a known delivery date, they will honor it even of the car is delivered after the grant expiration date.
So I am hoping to get assigned a 2021 VIN before 17 Nov, and get an MVPA with the grant applied as down payment - then I will just have to show proof of a delivery date. From experience - delivery has been 2-3 weeks after VIN is assigned.
Congrats
When did you apply the program?
