    two months is just scare-mongering. it took me about 4 weeks total to get both registration (~2 weeks) and stickers.

    Well, I got plates on 8/11, mailed REG1000 to DMV with check on 8/12.

    Check hasn't been cashed. Grr. And still no logical answer how PiP dealers get green stickers and Tesla can't get white stickers after a VIN is assigned.

    Hill do you know why though RXLaw cannot buy a Tesla with white stickers already, whereas Toyota is putting green stickers on PiPs? That was the orig question.

    So exciting I saw a Volt with a lead foot yesterday, VA tags but I immediately noticed the CA green HOV stickers. Poor guy stuck on non-HOV in Virginia. Our HOV priviledges grandfathered to prior years owners.

    i know - but stickers come thru dmv - one way or another - right?
    And actually, the original question / Dianne's OP was her telling us about her remaining deals, right?

    The DMV will permit us, as dealers, to request decals now. Based on their vin. Once the car changes hands into a consumer's hands, the process changes to YOU needing a license plate #. That takes time. And, re-assigning a vanity plate won't work quickly either... because the car and vin / plate # have to match in DMVs system... so no matter what ya do, it's a 4-6 week minimal process, often 8 weeks.

    Maybe this is why Tesla is unable to get white stickers beforehand.. they are not a "car dealer"?

    Excellent point, though they are regulated like dealers in CA.

    Am I seeing this right that these are being sold for $100 above MSRP? Online build configurator shows me a price of 30,945 for this configuration.

    MSRP ranges from 31040 to 31500 (depending on color and options) and quite a few have leather we added...

    Was this only for Green HOV stickers, or were you able to pre-order the White ones back when you had the RAV4-EV as well?

    Yes, all my Rav4 EVs had white stickers pre-ordered.
