    Still waiting for my stickers! I sent this in the day after purchasing my car. Without the license plate number. I'm hoping it doesn't get rejected or I'll resubmit again. Can't. Wait.!

    I sent everything in correctly, including plate number and they returned entire package, including my check, back to me. I called the office, and the lady I spoke to said they must have made a mistake; she told me to return the app. I did so, and within about 3 weeks, I got my HOV stickers. A good sign will be when your bank says your check has been cashed. There must be some people there with bad attitudes. But how can that be possible at the Department of Motor Vehicles!

    Nice, you'll be my gauge. I sent mine a few days ago on 4/25/17.

    The time before I first got package back seemed like well over a month; the check hadn't been cashed and I worried that my app. had gotten lost. You did well with the $1,500 cash rebate; it's been 3 months since my app. was started and I still don't have the check! It has been approved though, on March 16. They say it could take as much as 90 days from the approval date to get the check.

    Aw man, I thought you'd won one at the DMV!! Shucky darn! (If my kids could see how politically correct my speech has become due to respect for this forum community, they'd be stunned!

    got my application back today from the DMV (CA HOV stickers), registration not current (I used the temp license). Since I got my license plates last week, revised application is on its way. They provided a colored pre-addressed envelope, so maybe this will get processed quicker and btw, the stamp on the rejection explanation sheet said Ap17, which is ~ 2 weeks from when I mailed it ... but it took til today to arrive ...

    So you sent it in with the VIN number and the license plate # empty? Not a good sign for me then! Thanks for the follow up.

    i did out the # of the temp license in lieu of the plate #, they didn't like it ... what i'd do is as soon as you get your permanent plates, re-submit

    Give your Prime.........time! (had to say it : ) The computer will adjust to your driving distances, style, road conditions, weather, etc. The computer will constantly strive to deliver the best mileage for you. This happens with all of us, plug or hybrid. The computer is made to keep caculating better and better ways to optimize your mileage. Our cars just amaze me.

    On a side note, I recently spent an entire week moving and we rented a regular van to hall the "fragile items" we didn't want movers touching. I spent more money in gas in one week using the van than I do an entire month in the Prius.

    If they didn't like this then they definitely won't like me leaving it blank. We'll hopefully see in approximately 3 more weeks if we're basing it off similar timelines.

    I am surprised that my EV range is still going up, below is after charging at work today.
    I am working on profiling my commute and will share that hopefully later this week.
    I am using the app I use to track my mountain biking but it shows time on the x-axis vs distance (speed and elevation on the y), if anyone knows of a free iOS app that records over distance please let me know

    For reference, @joachimz has surpassed the Japanese JC-10 test cycle numbers for the Prime. It's rated for 68.2km in the very lenient JC-10 cycle. 43 miles = 68.8 km.

    Well done!

    Thanks, if you have a link handy to the jc-10 i'd appreciate it as you made me curious now. And i'm still working on my commute profile, data is in a format that requires a lot of editing
