I just received my $2000 rebate check from the Clean Vehicle Rebate Program. In this video I'll tell you how to apply for the Clean Vehicle Rebate Project. I'll walk you through the application process, the requirements and the eligibility.

The CVRP rebate is exclusive to California residents but I'm sure other states have similar programs. This is one of the few rebates that Tesla vehicles. Do Tesla Vehicles still qualify for the Federal Tax Credit in 2021? Unfortunately no as Tesla has already met its quota of 200000 cars sold in the United States. 
Do not confuse this rebate with the $1500 California Clean Fuel reward.
Let me know in the comments where are you watching from and if your home State offers similar rebates for clean energy vehicles.

We took delivery of our Tesla Model Y over four months ago, I applied for the CVRP rebate that same week and it took over 12 weeks to get the check! and people who applied for it after April 23, 2021 have been put on the waiting list until state funding is secured. 

The amount of money for which you are eligible varies depending on the type of vehicle. Hydrogen Fuel Cell vehicles, like the Toyota Mirai get up to $4500 dollars. Electric vehicles like in the case of our Tesla Model Y, qualify for a check of up to $2000 and Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicles like the Toyota RAV4 Prime qualify for a sum of up to $1000.
If your household income is less than or equal to 400 percent of the federal poverty level you may qualify for a higher rebate so you might want to check the Clean Vehicle Rebate website for complete details.

As a private party, in order to qualify for the California Clean Vehicle Rebate Program you must:
Be a California resident at the time of the vehicle is purchased or leased.
Submit the application before funds are exhausted
You must submit you application within 3 months of the purchase date BUT you must complete the submission of all pertinent paperwork within 14 days of your original application. 
You also must meet the Income Eligibility tap which is:
for single filers is 150000 yearly income
204 thousand for head of household filers
and 300000 for joint filers which is our case.
how to apply for the CVRP rebate:
Submit you application online at http://cleanvehiclerebate.org
you have 14 days to submit all supporting documents. Any supporting documents required can be scanned and submitted through the Clean Vehicle Rebate Program website. Do not send these forms over email!
If you don't have internet access you can also send the documents over the mail to an address provided on the CVRP website. 
When I applied I sent the following:
a scanned signed copy of the California Vehicle Rebate Program application
proof of registration of our Tesla Model Y Performance
the purchase contract of our Tesla which included all pages
and a copy of my driver's license.
Since I was selected for income verification I had to send copies of our W-2's for 2020.
You must keep your Electric Vehicle or your Clean Energy Vehicle for at least 30 months AND the vehicle must be registered in California for at least 30 months from the original purchase.
To apply you must create a profile, create a password and submit both the vehicle and the dealership information. In this case we submitted the information of the Tesla Store where we test drove the Model Y.
After that it just becomes a waiting game. I made a couple of mistakes because Tesla registers the car for you and in my case, I took delivery of our Model Y a day after so I when I submitted my CVRP application I entered the purchase date as being the delivery date but I had to rectify the purchase date to reflect the actual registration which was the day prior to delivery. 
We waited for about 3 months and then a few days ago when I got an email from the CVRP saying that they had approved my CVRP rebate and that they had sent our rebate for 2000 dollars.
Over all we had $3500 dollars worth or rebates and it's a bummer that Tesla vehicles no longer qualify for the Federal Tax Credit.
