I purchased a used Tesla from the Owings Mills location in the middle of December 2018 and I am still waiting for my title. I’m on my second set of “Temp” tags.
Lovely - that's where I bought it from. Is this on them or is the MVA just that backed up? Is it possible for one to contact MVA for a status?
Did you take delivery from a Tesla SC? When I got mine they just gave me the paperwork and asked me to do it myself. Also, you can’t file it unless you have the title number, which you won’t get for a while and I’m not sure if the dealership already has that number? So I would submit a copy after you receive your title number.
Thanks for sharing!
Yeah, I picked the car up from the Rockville center.
I read from another post that someone called MVA and the MVA said the title number was not needed. I guess it is the reason that the center can submit directly. It is probably can save one month, even though it looks like the chance to get the tax rebate is very low...
So a question regarding the MD EV credit. I know that the credit is limited to one per person. However, businesses are allowed up to 10 excise tax credits. My question is, how hard would it be to start a company (bro1999 Sells Stuff on Ebay From Home LLC) and claim the MD credit under my newly created business? From what I've gathered, I can file an Articles of Organization for about $100. Once I had the Articles of Organization, I could then purchase a car under the company name (and then apply for up to 10 MD credits).
Or would this be opening a whole new can of worms that would become way too messy down the road?

It's also one credit per vehicle. I think you'd need to buy 10 cars before you could claim 10 credits.
For married Marylanders, you're allowed one credit per person, so if you buy a second EV you can put your spouse as the primary applicant.
Great news! Maryland has a new Clean Cars Act of 2019 bill that takes effect July 1, 2019. This is an EV incentive that increases the fund from $3 million to $6 million. Not only have they added more money, but they have also raised the purchase price limit from $60,000 to $63,000.

I interpret the attached memo from Maryland Department of Transportation that they have exhausted funding again for another year.

Holy moly that was fast. Even the updated $6 million is already gone before FY 2020 even started (July 1).

I wrote to a local newspaper explaining this situation. It's honestly ridiculous that the funding for FY 2020 would be depleted before FY 2020 has even begun. Surely our legislature knew the state of the funding situation, and knew that $6 million would not be sufficient.
And as far as I can tell, that's the entire program done. The PDF says that's the funding through July 2020 exhausted, and the program was only set to run from 2017 to 2020. The Clean Cars Act of 2019 didn't extend that window, it only increased the funding for the last year.

Maryland MVA has updated their webpage with a message concerning the funding for the Excise Tax Credit for Plug-in Electric Vehicles.

Plenty of EVSE install rebate funding available. On April 30 the MEA told me they had allocated $200k of a total $1.2m.

Electric Vehicle Supply Equipment (EVSE) Rebate Program 2.0
@AKinDC asked the MEA, and they said both HPWC and NEMA-14-50 outlet installs qualify for the rebate. You just put $0 for the equipment line if you're doing the outlet.
I mailed in my excise tax rebate form in January (for a purchase in December 2018) and haven't gotten anything back from the MVA. Guessing I'm out of luck unless they pass another EV credit bill? Or maybe I was far enough up in line to get the tax credit but they're just slow in mailing them? In any case, this sucks for a lot of people. Seems like the release of the model 3 completely wiped out this program.
