EV Tax Rebate After Marriage

Hi! 

 

My fiancee requires a car and is planning on buying the Model 3 - her income is $95K and she qualifies for the California and Federal EV rebate. 

 

I am making beyond $300K gross and our marriage is in December.

 

I am wondering that if she purchases the vehicle right now (since she needs it) - will she still have the ability to claim the rebate since the car was purchased before the marriage, or during filling (since our gross as a joint fill would be beyond the threshold) it would make sense to file married but separate to have her rebate apply?
