    Yeah I would say they’re not done in order received. We sent two the day day last year. The one for an Audi was processed almost immediately. The Tesla is still unprocessed.

    Well that’s even worse! I wish I had thought about it and just waited another month or so. Oh well. I’m used to the orange now but would have loved the blue.

    Don't think anyone got them yet. As with most people, I mailed mine beginning of January and as of today check is not cashed yet.

    That's also consistent with about a three month backlog.

    If there's one positive aspect of the COVID pandemic, it's that commutes are reduced and the need to use HOV lanes is significantly less than normal.

    Thanks for the update. I keep anxiously checking my bank account to see if the check cashed, but nothing. But I didn't mail until mid-Jan so it sounds like I've still got a ways to go.

    I wouldn’t be surprised if it’ll take another month at a minimum before it will be cashed.

    Mail my application in on Jan 1st, 2021. Check has not been cashed yet nor have I received my stickers. From what I've read on other forums it typically takes 2 months. Not sure how the pandemic would have effected backlogs but I'm assuming processing times are longer now? On the phone with DMV as we speak to see if I can get someone on the special processing unit to give me an update. Hold time so far hour and a half and counting. fml.

    I will update you all if I can get a response. If I don't give up and hang up the phone you will not hear back from me. *laughs

    Mailed mine out Jan 2, also not cashed either. I don't think anyone's is processed because I haven't seen the new sticker on any cars.

    I went to the DMV to renew my Driver's License and it was done within a week. But the HOV stickers are processed by a different unit so hopefully we get them soon. Luckily traffic is still ok due to COVID.

    Hooray! Got my Blue decals yesterday (2/19/21). Fyi, I dropped my application in the mail 11/13/20, check for $22 cleared 2/10/21 and I finally received over three months later. Now obsessing over how and where to place them on my stealth-wrapped black MY.

    I was told to contact the DMV via the phone number and have them transfer me to the "Special Processing Unit" and so I did. Regrettably however after being on hold for an hour and a half I gave up. Sorry folks, I wasn't able to get any further info about processing times.

    I sent my check out week of Jan 1, 2021, and my check hasn’t been cashed. Hopefully we will see something soon.
