Finally sat down and dove into rebates and credits for our Rivian purchase. Turns out MA is currently matching the federal rebate at $7,500 for the level 1 block for 2b class trucks (over 8,500 lbs). There are less than 200 vouchers left in this level of the class 1 block.

Lots more information at MOR-EV Trucks | MOR-EV.

Looking forward to claiming ours. Good luck!

How do you claim that if your truck weighs less than 8500lbs? Thought it had to be over $50K and over 8500lbs to qualify, no?

Bummer. The R1S is only 7650lbs.

Yeah, it’s great to get $7500 off the vehicle. I’ve submitted all the documentation for my MOR-EV Trucks rebate and am waiting on their formal approval. They did indicate that they’ve previously approved the rebate for the r1t but each application is considered on case by case basis.

Were you able to use the form on the website? That seems like it's just the regular EVs and not trucks. I submitted the email request for trucks and got an email back, but it just lists what documents I need, not the actual process.

 

[MAR1T]

Mor-ev trucks is done all via email. You need to respond to that email with the docs they requested. There’ll likely be more back and forth to wrap up the application.

I received my check a few weeks ago. The process took about a month to provide all the info and get approved and then another 3-4 weeks to get the check.

I'm still working through this process with them, but at least they finally replied!
Their last response is:

Please submit documentation of your vehicle's GVWR (usually found on the driver's side door sticker) to the following secure link:

Did you also have to provide this? I see the tire/loading weight - but it doesn't list the vehicle's weight. Couldn't find anything else via Rivian's documentation so just wondering if this was the same experience for others.

The owners manual mentions the gvwr. I sent them a pdf of that one page and they accepted it.

Bummer. The R1S is only 7650lbs.

From the manual R1S is 8532 also (under notes, third bullet) and from the door plate photos someone posted recently from one of the hubs. Don't have mine yet but hoping to take advantage of the same in Mass. Wondering if the newly signed bill will effect it at all...

If it was able to work for @MAR1T then hopefully it should work for you as well. How are you going to spec your Rivian?

I pre-ordered on 8/17/20 for the R1S - Midnight, ocean coast (updated wood is excellent!), Large pack, 22" sport bright. Back and forth between the bright and dark wheels but with the chrome trim on the S I think the brights complement the overall look better
