in reply to an earlier question i had about license plates, it was stated that you can apply for the CA HOV stickers with your temporary plate number. the state either holds onto it until you get your real plate # allocated or just goes ahead and issues the stickers - not sure.
however, i was looking at the HOV sticker webpage today, and i see this in the FAQ:
i assume then that since i have not received anything from the DMV (neither plates nor registration) that i can not apply. all i've got is the stub that is attached to the front paper plate which does bear my name but is not a registration slip (i think it's the same thing that's taped to the window on the passenger side.)
has anyone here just sent in REG1000 with the temporary plates and no registration and had success? the car was leased if that is relevant. i see at least one horror story here in the forum where the addresses did not between the REG1000 and what tesla submitted and the DMV kicked it back, but it's not clear if the temp plate number played a part in that rejection.
thanks

3. I just purchased my eligible vehicle. Can I immediately apply for a CAV decal?
No. The vehicle must be registered in your name. The transfer of ownership (from dealership or private party) must be completed before the application can be submitted. You will receive a registration card from DMV once the transfer of ownership is complete.
