EV rebate caution

Got delivery of my R1T yesterday and quickly discovered that it does not qualify for the state EV rebate here in Oregon. Apparently any vehicle whose MSRP is > $50K is ineligible.

More of a heads-up than anything, if you're anticipating a state rebate, make sure you read the fine print.

Hell even the federal rebate doesn't qualify due to the vehicle needing to be manufactured by union workers.
There is no requirement for union workers in the currently available federal EV tax credit. Please don't spread misinformation. The R1T/R1S most certainly DO qualify for the federal tax credit.

In ME, they originally didn't have the R1T listed as qualified for pickup as the price they saw was post Mar prices. The max price for this category is 73K. When i told them that my config as preorder holder is at 73k with pre-Mar price, they listed it on their list of qualified vehicles. Now my purchase price shows msrp of 73k and i will send them my rebate application and other supporting documents they require. I'll see if this gets approved for 2k rebate. 🙏

Sadly, it's a pretty safe bet you're correct. It's also a pretty sure bet that the added $1,000 rebate for "Pennsylvania applicants whose total household income is below 200 percent of the Federal Income Poverty level [about $37,000 for a married couple] . . " has more than bit of funding left.

On the bright side, some electric providers in the state, like mine, PECO, offer a $50 EV rebate with no price limit . . .
