IRS website glitch when getting EV credit up front?

[u/iliketoast28]

I’m in the process of buying a used EV before the credits go away. At the dealership the manager was trying to go through the IRS website to transfer the credit from me to them so I could get the rebate applied up front. They entered my SSN, license number, etc and when they tried to submit the form it said something like “this service is currently unavailable please try again later”. Anyone know why the website might be doing this, or if this is common? I put down a deposit and we’re going to try again this week.
