The way I understand it is that if your car qualifies you have to "apply" for the rebate. So what the dealers have done is give you the rebate and sell you the car so that you will buy it right on that spot then they file the application. So that 80,500 are the applications that have been processed, the rest are all sitting in a queue somewhere waiting to get approval. I think they were not quiet ready for the sheer number of people that turned out to buy.
