Hard to read, but it seems to say:
- Counties of Cook, DuPage, Kane, Lake, McHenry, and Will,
- Beginning July 1, 2022, a $4,000 rebate (less after 2026)
- Apply for the rebate within 90 days
- The Agency shall prioritize the review of qualified applications from low-income purchasers and award rebates to
qualified purchasers accordingly. (80% of median income)
(doesn't say have to be low income) - The purchaser must retain ownership of the vehicle for a minimum of 12 months and reside in IL (or reimburse)
- For new and used cars
- Only once per purchaser in any 10-year period.
From my Post #16 of this thread, it said something would be changed to include all people in Illinois during the fall veto session, but I don't know if any changes were ever made...

New Updates in my email came today from
3/17/22 from IL Registry Update dated 2/25/22 - Source (its a mess!)
Basically:
1. $4,000 rebate - must apply
2. July 1, 2022 delivery date or after (POS legislative delay from law passed 9/15/21)
3. Covered Area has been deleted in this proposed "floating public comments" version.
4. Must be from a licensed secretary of State automobile dealership - cannot access the list online, must pay for the list $150 or go to the Tesla "outlet" dealership and get their IL Dealer ID#, address, and State Tax ID#
5. many other changes - not a lawyer.
Note my purchase from delivery 12/5/2021 had none of the legal paperwork included like IL ST556 or ? RUT25? - Called Springfield and they said Tesla was a licensed dealership if that word of mouth helps any.

I saw a source listing ~$6m in funds available for this; maybe this thread or someone where(I've been doing a lot of reading the last couple days). That's only 1500 sales.

So for us southern IL peeps Tesla St. Louis is the closest, but its MO so from what I'm reading it does not apply? We would need to pick up in Chicago?
I didn't go through the entire thing but based on skimming through the EV rebate section in the register, it seems that there is no longer an income limit to qualify for the $4K rebate, but they may "prioritize" low income applicants if there is insufficient funds in the program:
"In the event of insufficient fund availability, the Agency shall prioritize the review of qualified applications from low-income purchasers and award rebates to qualified purchasers accordingly".

I am holding off ordering a new Performance Model Y until this mess is sorted out and ALL THE FACTS MADE KNOWN. In the meantime I’ll enjoy our 2020 Model Y with Performance Boost that has been FULLY DEBUGGED. Someone will get a great preowned Model Y.

My SA tells me only a limited number of people will qualify for this $4K rebate since there is only enough money in the fund to cover more than a handful of July registrations. In other words, you order a car now, it comes in around September, and you're probably out of luck. My car is scheduled for end of the year, or early 2023. I will be out of luck for sure. 1500 cars will go quickly. He guesses that with 80% going to Tesla sales in Illinois, and with the number they sell at all the Illinois Tesla locations, that two to three weeks will exhaust the $6M fund.

I cant remember where the original article was that stated ~$6 million last year.
You can view the active amount here I believe:
Listed under Electric Vehicle Rebate - 0422 (referred to as alternate fuels fund in legal docs)
Looks like its up to $7.3 million now.

I have a MYP on order with an EDD of June 1 - July 6. I will certainly be delaying 30 days if the car is scheduled for delivery anytime before July 1st. Since this is so close, I will keep updated with any news I receive.

I just bought a used MS from Tesla last week. They told me I only had 72 hours to accept the order after it was delivered onsite. Not sure if someone with more experience going thru the process can chime in, if it's the same as a new order.
