Thanks so much. I was glad you got through to CARB, I couldn't. That is good info. I applied 1/20 and the representative at CVAP said that the last time they ran out of money, it took over 12 months. So I'm
wouldn't you know they were just starting January when the funds were gone. I wish CVAP would tell you what number you are, they said they have no idea. I think it would be really reasonable for them to let us know so we can move on.

What does your email say about you being on the reservation list? I wouldn’t be so sure unless you got an email specifically stating you’re in, but good on you if you bypassed the queue somehow just by emailing them. I applied on 2/9 and emailed them the exact same thing, which they said I wasn’t missing anything. Not on reservation list and my application was closed.
Funding is exhausted for standard and increased rebates. Waitlist in effect. Limited funding is available for Rebate Now
Yikes, I hope the grant and rebate come back soon. It seems like they are very popular!seems like CVRP rebate is also out of money...

Does anyone know if Tesla can apply the $5000 down grant prior to taking delivery? I have until May 2, and it looks like I may not see delivery prior to that as it's getting super close. And given the program is now accepting new applicants or a waitlist and doesn't have funding until 2022, I'd love to find a loophole to get that money applied to my Tesla order now. I have left messages with my SA all week and haven't heard back. So I'm wondering if anyone on this thread knows about this. Thanks!

If you have been approved for the cvap, you forward that approval to Tesla and they do apply the $5,000 as a down payment before delivery. But if you have not been approved for cvap, there's nothing you can do at the moment.
Thanks, I have been approved, it's expiring May 2nd. But having trouble getting ahold of my SA to apply the grant to my MY order. But, now that I know it can be done prior to deliver I will get real aggressive with making sure it happens. No more phone calls or emails. I'm walking my butt in the store haha
Update on this. Tesla WILL NOT apply the grant before taking a delivery date. They told me they cannot generate an agreement until delivery date therefore they have nothing to submit to to CVAP. I pushed and pushed for them to just fill out the form and send in my paperwork, but they are refusing. Sooo, short version, looks like I won't get delivery before my CVAP grant expiration date so somebody else will reap my loss. Best of luck to everyone with this program. I hope to get the rebates at least.
Edit: I have been researching the manuals and FAQ;s, turns out CVAP asks the dealership for signed grant letter, purchase contract, but what holds up Tesla is vehicle inspection report and vehicle history report. Things you cannot get until after you've been assigned a VIN # CVAP dealership requirements

Are you able to find a car in existing inventory that matches your spec or close enough?
sorry to be the bearer of bad news but funds have been exhausted for the rebates so if you apply on 4/23 or after you just get put on a wait-list until they get more funding from the state...
What does the rebate waitlist mean to me?
(Last updated 09/15/2021)If you applied before April 23, 2021, or after September 14, 2021: Your application was not impacted by the waitlist. You will receive your rebate if you meet all requirements and submit the correct supporting documents within the required time frame. All applications...

From their website:
If you applied on April 22, 2021 or earlier:
Your rebate amount was reserved when you applied online. You will receive your rebate as long as you meet all requirements and submit correct supporting documents within the required time frame. We advise that you periodically check your status online to ensure you are aware of any further action needed to take your application to approval status. Note: If we find an issue with your application materials, we provide ten days to correct the issue before automatic cancellation.
If you applied for a standard or increased rebate on or after April 23, 2021:
You were placed on a rebate waitlist when you applied online. We will review your application materials and your application will be conditionally approved if you meet all requirements and submit correct supporting documents within the required time frame. Payment for conditionally approved applications on the rebate waitlist will depend on the project receiving more funding from the State of California and may depend on new Terms and Conditions and new CVRP Implementation Manual requirements.
there's been no existing inventory for over a week in my location ugh. I keep checking!
When you are approved for a CVAP grant, which I was, they hold $5000 for you. If you do not redeem it and your grant expires, then it goes back into the pool. So, I would be able to get $5000 applied to my Tesla order, except Tesla won't do this without a VIN # they said. I have tried multiple angles with them and even provided them the dealership requirements from CVAP implementation manual asking they just submit my grant letter and RN # as deliver is estimated end of June, but my grant expires May 2. I hope others get luckier than I did. It's quite a gamble with Tesla's order/deliver and 60 day grant application.sorry to be the bearer of bad news but funds have been exhausted for the rebates so if you apply on 4/23 or after you just get put on a wait-list until they get more funding from the state...
