Trying to not contribute to the air quality issues here was a big driver for me to go EV now, and our local utility is generating all electricity from renewables. |

No criticism about what you are doing…I’m doing the same in the Midwest where most of our electricity is sourced by wind and nuclear energy. I was simply noting the frustration by those on the tread with the inefficient bureaucracy.

No offense taken - I had my first tag assisted commute this morning and watched as my ETA instantly dropped by 10min as I sailed past those in line for the toll booths and then the metering lights on the other side. Was epic.

I was surprised at how quickly my tags got processed. I only submitted the application online over the weekend and today it was already approved and said it will be shipping out.

Got my tags yesterday and will probably apply them to the car this weekend (also using the PPF method). I'll post pictures afterwards.
RichardInCA: Looking at how you positioned your stickers... was just wondering about why you decided on those exact locations and orientations. For the rear, I see you made it level with the trim line (not level with the ground) and applied it low instead of halfway between the bottom black trim line and the upper body line. Did you consider making it level with the ground instead of the trim, and/or mounting it higher? For the front, I see you mounted it very high on the bumper. I was thinking of mounting mine on the flared section closest to the ground below where yours are. What made you decide on the upper location? I'm just interested in others' ideas/opinions before I stick mine on.

For the front, if I mounted them lower then the shape of the front fender makes it look a bit more prominent to my eye, where I mounted them, it’s on a piece of trim that is angled back from top to bottom which seems a little less “in your face” to me. |

One other thought about the rear placement - I like leaving the black trim uncluttered as putting the stickers on them could accentuate them in a way, I also didn’t want them slap in the middle of another panel, so tried to find the best compromise to make them discrete while complying with the guidance on where they should be placed. YMMV as they say

Finally, some pictures of my HOV stickers. I decided that I liked the placement of yours RichardInCA so I copied you.
Thanks for the suggestions and your thinking behind them. Mine also have PPF behind them so they can be removed more easily in the future if needed.

Nice - naturally I approve! I think those positions minimize interrupting the clean lines on the panel. Not sure about where you are, but there are a ton of Teslas round here that seem to have their decals placed by a blindfolded chimp. Very odd.

You actually want to go to the VERY top of the CA DMV page ad click "Online Services" ~ THATS where you can apply on line. (No longer possible through the chat box I guess - they were confused when I tried it that way) (Not sure how Richard inserted the website picture, but it's right next to "Real ID") PRO TIP - Be sure to enter the name EXACTLY as listed on your registration (ours was a company name they were very creative condensing!) |
