M3 and MY eligible for CA CVRP rebate after Tesla price cuts?

[Jthomas14]

This is the email I received from CVRP this morning:



The bold text was highlighted in the email. I think Tesla models will eventually be added to the list, but I'm no longer sure that the eligibility will be retroactive. I don't get why they make certain PHEVs non-retroactive and other EVs retroactive.

I called the CVRP yesterday and they told me to reach out to the ARB. I received this email from the ARB this morning.

"Hello,

With Tesla’s recent price reduction for the Model 3 and Model Y, those vehicles will once again be eligible for CVRP, pending Tesla completing necessary documentation to add them to the CVRP eligible vehicle list. Until the vehicles are on the list, consumers purchasing and taking delivery of MY 2023 Tesla Model 3s and Model Ys remain ineligible for a rebate. The delivery date of the vehicle must be AFTER the models are added to the CVRP eligibility list.

Thank you"

I have contacted Tesla a few times, they are not helpful, noone knows when and if thy will apply for cvrp

I don't get it. Does Tesla not care about people in California?

I think Tesla is just disorganized which we already knew. Looks like we will push back delivery a little longer until CVRP is confirmed. I don’t understand why they aren’t making it retroactive.

 

[samsa]

Do we have any updates on this? Has Tesla applied for CVRP for sure?

 

[samsa]

Any updates if Tesla has applied for CVRP?

 

[Timeflies]

Don’t think anyone knows for sure at this point.

Hello,
Please see the reply below regarding the Tesla CVRP eligibility we received from the CVRP staff:
Due to the recent price reduction, Model Year 2023 Tesla Model 3 and Model Y vehicles can once again be eligible for CVRP rebates, however, Tesla still needs to go through the formal application process to get the vehicles added to CVRP’s eligibility list. Once approved, the vehicles will be added to the eligibility list located on the CVRP website at Eligible Vehicles | Clean Vehicle Rebate Project. We cannot provide an exact date as to when the vehicles will be added to the list but we expect the approval to happen in the coming weeks. Until these vehicles are added to the CVRP eligible vehicle list, consumers purchasing and taking delivery of model year 2023 Model 3s and Model Ys remain ineligible for a rebate. This means that vehicles purchased at the new, lower price points must be delivered AFTER they are added to the list to be eligible for a rebate.

I think it's retroactive? 3 months maybe?

No, they explicitly state "vehicles purchased at the new, lower price points must be delivered AFTER they are added to the list to be eligible for a rebate." So if you take delivery before they are added, don't count on getting the CVRP rebate.

I understood what they said, but I also saw another post who also asked CVRP and said 3 months retroactive. I don't just don't think they know anything certain yet. But I like to think it's retroactive.

Does this mean Tesla has applied?

Any news if Tesla has applied for CVRP yet?

Suggest you try contacting Tesla/CVRP as well, the more people that contact them, the more likely they are to speed up the process.

That's a great news!
Do you mind telling me where you got the confirmation?

My delivery ETA is Feb 6 - 20.
Hoping that Tesla can be added before I take the delivery.
I might get $7500 from CVRP because I will qualify for the low income cap.

Incorrect, per CVRP page updated with new

info on Model 3 and Y

 

[BlueMYLR]

The CVRP website has been updated to show that the Model 3 and Model Y may be eligible for the rebate. The vehicles must be listed on their eligible vehicles page within 90 days of registration. They are NOT listed there as of this moment.
