    You should be fine since there's still about 7000 stickers left

    Take your time, there's a good chance there's a few months left. I'm not saying wait until the summer, but you have a few weeks to comfortably shop around.

    I think you'll be fine if bought this week or maybe even the next couple of weeks. But why not be safe than sorry and go to a dealer that has these stickers allocated already?

    How soon have people been receiving the California rebate? Mine was approved 7 weeks ago and still waiting on the check to be mailed.

    I was told it took 60 days. IIRC, it took almost exactly that.

    Still waiting on mine. I periodically check the status on mine. Just waiting for it to be mailed. I read on the site that it could take up to 90 days.

    I think it's been close to 60 days since I applied. Still waiting on the rebate

    Got my green sticker earlier this week, #331xx

    I think they will run out in the next 2-3 months unless the rate of sales starts to slow as people get cold feet about buying a plug in at the risk of not having a green sticker.

    Since dealers can now obtain the decals for cars in their inventory before they are sold, that really should not be a problem. The dealer should have the decals ready for you when you sign the paperwork.

    Been almost 60 days for me, no stickers. I think the dealer forgot to submit them.

    I got mine in 2+ weeks.

    # - 330xx

    BTW, the expiry says 2015. Do we need to renew it every year? Aren't these stickers valid till 2019?

    Last year the expiration date was changed from Jan 1, 2015 to Jan 1, 2019. No renewal necessary.
