Good morning,
Thank you for your email and interest in the Oregon Clean Vehicle Rebate Program (OCVRP). We understand the Tesla Model Y may have dropped their MSRP, however, it is currently still not listed on our eligibility vehicle list, therefore currently ineligible for any OCVRP rebates. As long as your vehicle is listed on our eligibility vehicle list, the vehicle is eligible for the OCVRP rebates.
Vehicle manufacturers apply to have their vehicles added to our list and must meet specific requirements to be eligible for OCVRP. This means Tesla would need to apply with the Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) to have the vehicle added back on our list if it meets all requirements. If the Tesla Model Y was to become eligible, it may be added to our list at a later date. Unfortunately we do not have a time frame of when or if the model will become eligible. I would continue to check out eligible vehicle list for any updates. Applicants have six (6) months from their date of purchase or lease to apply for a rebate.
Please note, due to overwhelming demand and limited funding, rebates will be suspended as of May 1, 2023. Any vehicles purchased or leased on or after May 1, 2023 will not be eligible to apply for the rebate once the program reopens. Once funding is available again, the program will announce its reopening. For more information, go to ordeq.org/OCVRPTempSuspension.
To clarify, if you receive your Tesla on or prior to April 30, 2023, and Tesla gets added to our list within your six (6) month eligibility, you may apply (given you meet our program guidelines). However, as mentioned above we do not have a time frame of when or if the model will become eligible.
Sincerely,
OCVRP Processing Team
