How long did it take you to get your CAV decals? CA owners.

For my 2020 Prime that I purchased in December 2nd of 2019:
CA license plate took 4 weeks.
CAV decal took 6 weeks.
CA $1500 Rebate check took 12 weeks.
SCE $1000 Rebate is not here yet and was submitted 12 weeks ago.

 

I filed my SCE $1,000 rebate application on December 19. It got approved on January 23. They mailed me my check today on February 28. I should receive it in a few days.

 

I got the $1,000 check from SCE today on March 2.

 

The color of the 2021 California CAV HOV/carpool decals has been determined to be blue, nicely matched with my 2021 Prius Prime Limited Blue Magnetism. I will wait until the January 1st to order them, just in case.

Any one get their 2021 sticker yet? I applied on Jan 1, 2021. My check is still uncashed. I might try to call or reapply by the end of March.

 

I got mine in Dec 2019 before the license plates arrived.

 

The blue 2021 sticker?

 

Same situation with me. Looks like they're behind.

 

Nope. Ugly orange. I had the glaring gold version on my first "Blue moon pearl" Prius.

 

Purchased a new 2021 PP this weekend and the dealer told me that they will apply for the decal sticker for me. We had a less than glorious experience as this dealer and I'm concerned that they were feeding inaccurate information. Did the dealer apply for the decal sticker for you or did you have to apply separately with the state?

 

Yes, we received the orange stickers promptly last year, but it looks like no one has received the blue sticker yet.

 

sent my application and check on Feb. 10th after my plates arrived, my check hasn't cashed yet.

 

On the application, it reads in BOLD that only the registered owner can apply.

FYI, you should do as much research as possible for any of the incentives you can receive (dont trust the dealer) whether it's from the CA, your county, or your utilities, any minor mistake on forms or application may result in you getting your application rejected and significantly delaying in receiving your benefits.

 

I mailed my application from the post office on January 2, 2021. They cashed my check on March 29, 2021.

 

I just checked my bank, mine was cashed March 30, 2021. Are they really 3 months behind? haha

 

I’m still waiting for the check to get cashed. Hopefully it will be sometime soon based on the timeframes reported in this thread.
Purchased: 1/18/2021
Received Plates: 3/2/2021
Mailed off HOV Sticker application: 3/3/2021

 

Mine was sent with new Registration paper work on Feb 10th still not cashed ???? Do i say " Pending" when pulled over ?

 

It looks like the processing time is three months. No, do not drive in the carpool lane without the stickers. The penalty is huge, and you may also get a moving violation.

 

I know ,( Gokhan), but so tempting !! . Also i'm thinking only 1 sticker on the back ???? Maybe ???

 

Well, we discussed this earlier. One sticker is one too many to leave the car undamaged. You need to attach the stickers on paint-protection film first. If you don't attach them all, the cops will think that you are using the other stickers on other cars and will ticket you.
