Great! Good for you. At least I know the program is working. I'm still a few weeks out to see if they give it to me.
They are 60 days behind on approving

6 weeks is not bad at all!

CVRP for my wife's PHEV in 2019 took over 90 days.

I just applied for my Lightning so I am hopeful!

Wish i could qualify

When I looked this morning they only had the 98kW battery (SR) listed. Did you also receive the $750 at time of sale?

That’s awesome news! I thought it wouldn’t go through but it’s good to hear.

If you don’t mind putting your info on this thread for tracking timelines:

Good for you. I see the funding is still there I wonder how long before they send a check if that's what they do. Keep us posted I finally got to order a XLT last night.
Cheers

Purchase >80k vehicle, own/rent in CA AND fall under the new 135k/200k income limits!?!

Glad that cheddar came through! But tell us your budget secrets:!

CVRP is a post sale rebate for $2000.
CCFR is a point of sale credit given to you at time of contract - $750.

Did you buy your Lightning ?

My Lightning ETA is 22nd. I was able to secure a purchase agreement, though.

They said they're still working on getting into the CCFR program--hopefully they're actually doing that and I'll hear back soon before the 22nd. They (CCFR) told me over the phone they had just finished a meeting and approved the Lighting but I didn't think to ask about SR vs. ER.

There's a $60K MSRP cap for the programs. I only see the F150L SR for selection on the CVRP site. That's why I'm curious if anyone with an ER has received the $750 CCFR POS rebate because that might given some insight as to how they're calculation MSRP and provide some guidance as to which of us will qualify for the CVRP rebate. That said, I ordered it in my name and I believe last year's rebate was filed under my name so I probably screwed myself unless I can put my wife's name or co-ownership on the truck and file it under her name. It's her truck anyway...hope I didn't screw that up

Gotta’ read the fine print. The F150L starts under $60k so it qualifies, the final price isn’t relevant. Odd but true. This is also why Tesla doesn’t qualify as the cheapest Y is above the sedan limit Which I think is $45k. It’s the government, so this not making sense makes sense.

That's what I suspected but wanted to confirm.

The CCFR site only lists the SR as eligible:

I just found out on delivery last week that the CCFR is NOT good for the ER battery F-150 lightnings…there is an 8500lb weight limit…my Lariat ER is 8550.
If the dealership gives it to you…take it and run…they won’t get reimbursed from the state when they go to claim it. I fought the dealership really hard on this one…and they were right. My truck isn’t eligible, and I suspect most of the XLT, Lariat and Platinum trims won’t be…at least with the ER battery…thus, why they aren’t listed on the website. I had to do some serious digging to find it.
Congrats to anyone who snuck one by.

That's good info. At least I can feel better about "losing" it from my dealer dragging their feet for months applying to the program (still haven't AFAIK). When I spoke to someone on the phone she told me they had just got out of a meeting where they finally approved the Lightning for all trims lower than Platinum. I didn't even think about weight differences between the SR to ER to ask about them and she probably didn't know enough about the truck to tell me without me asking.

Not that it matters...I cut the owner off mid-sentence, "Now, if this is going to take a month or..." "No, I'm *buying* the truck. If it's there tomorrow I'm buying the truck--I"m not trying to screw around over $750." I mean...I'm still going to remind him I've been asking for them to apply since the beginning of the year and see if he'll at least toss in some floor mats or something to "lessen the sting." heheh, I'm not opposed to some good old fashioned '80s style horse trading!
