Pennsylvania EV Rebate

I guess my ranting to my local state representative regarding this issue re favoring Chevrolet and Nissan and excluding Tesla did not fall on deaf ears. Still not happy that the Model S buyers are totally eliminated.

I called about this too and was pleasantly surprised when they expanded it.
I can see how it would be a tough sell to include a new S, I mean it does start at 75k new.
Although someone buying a used one can get a smaller rebate.

Curious how many people have gotten the rebate since the Sept 1st change.

I applied on Sept 2nd and my application has been "under review" ever since.

Same here I re-applied on Sep 5th. I got a call in August and was notified to re-apply in Sep.

I just got the rebate from PA as two separate checks for $875. One check for each person on the title for the car. I filed for the rebate on Sep 21.

I submitted mine on 10/24 and checked just now...was told my application was processed and the rebate check will arrive in 4-6 weeks.

I submitted mine on 10/24 and got rejected on 10/26. The total price of my Red AWD 19 White Interior EAP was $63500 so I was over the $60K limit, but figured I'd try anyway. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

That’s surprising considering they removed the cap amount. You should call and check. The application processor’s name is Billly and she was very helpful.

Hmmm. I still see this on the website

• The eligible vehicle final purchase price cap is increased from $50,000 to $60,000 for Hydrogen Fuel Cell Vehicles and BEVs and PHEVs with a battery capacity equal to or greater than 60 kWh.

Was the $60K cap removed recently? Do you have a link to that change somewhere?

Where did you apply, if you don’t mind me asking. I’ve been trying to use their online application, but it keeps giving me the error that cars over $50K (not $60K) are not eligible. It’s drivinf crazy! I don’t know if I’m somehow using an old link, but I can’t find a different one.

 

[samta09]

Here’s where I went to get the details but they must have changed the rules recently by adding the cap up to $60k. I had called in the office prior to making the purchase and was told there wouldn’t be any caps after 8/31.

Yeah I just picked up my performance model 3 which is obviously more then 60k, looks like i'm out of luck I guess unless someone else has suggestions?

I just did on Tuesday as well. Kind of annoyed that through this process I was lead to believe this wouldn't be an issue. I will still push through to try and apply and see where it goes. If you do as well please let me know.

 

[Johnabis]

Sounds good, how are you getting past the 60k part? Just putting down 60 instead of the real number?

Anyone with a Performance AWD apply and have their application accepted? Seems this price point does not qualify, but perhaps the regulations have shifted based on this string?

 

[calwan]

How long are people waiting for checks? My application was approved on 11/20 and the status online says 'COMPLETE', but no sign of the check yet? Any ideas how long until I should be getting the check?

Tax on a rebate??? A rebate is a refund of what you have paid. If Kmart gives you ten dollars back on a 20 dollar item - that is not income.

I'm not sure what kind of rebate it is but if that rebate is tax rebate then - yes.

I guess you haven't paid attention how federal taxes work...

If you income is 100 and you have paid 20 to your state - you only pay taxes on 100-20=80 as you say 'look my income is only 80'. But when state says your taxes are only 10 then your federal income is 90 and you need to pay taxes on those 10 that you have avoided beforehand (100-10=90 and you have only paid taxes on 80 so you still owe taxes on 90-80=10).

anyone have any luck with model 3's over 60k?

How do you check your status? I submitted my application about a month ago but haven't heard a peep, not even an email confirming receipt.

I submitted the paperwork for a Model 3 performance and got a letter rejecting the application because the MSRP was over $60,000. I plan to call and question it, but it will likely not do much good.
