I had submitted mine first week of January and received it first week of April. The instruction for the placement looks slightly different than I've seen before. Mine says the put the small decals on front right and front left of front bumper and large decals on the right side and left side of the rear bumper. Previously I saw you had to place the small decals on the right front of front bumper and right rear or rear bumper with the larger decals on the right and left sides of the rear bumper.

I did what it said since the revision date was October 2020.

Did you have to wait for you plates to arrive before you submitted your application for the decal?

need permanent plate

Not true! Goes by VIN I was able to call them they are backlogged 2-3 months!

I applied for both of my Tesla’s on May 5th, they came in about a week ago. I guess they’re a bit faster nowadays. But who knows.

Anyone who recently applied and received them to understand the turnaround times ?

I’m curios to know to! Just mailed out mine today, should get there in the next few days. Then the wait begins…

I am a little confused on specific use cases. For those of you in the bay, I can go on the 880 express lanes with this decal with a single driver for free, right?

Submitted mine on July 17th and I got them last week. Was worried I wouldn’t get them by the end of the year.

You need plate and vin. I used temp plates issued and it submitted fine and assigned to the new permanent plate. Took 2 months or so to get.
