CA DMV - Your 2018 Model 3 can get EV State Credit OR Carpool Sticker, but not both?

[FlatSix911]

I just noticed https://arb.ca.gov/msprog/carpool/carpool.htm was updated recently (Jan 30, 2018) which has a pointer to California’s Clean Air Decals | California Air Resources Board with some FAQs.

Good summary ... Thanks

But is it federal gross or California gross.

Those are two different numbers.

From Income Eligibility:
Determining income based on federal tax returns, the Administrator will review the following sections:

• On IRS Form 1040: Sum of lines 7-21 (may not equal line 22)
  Note: Net operating losses carried over from previous years are not included in this calculation. If line 21 is negative, the corresponding "Statement" filed with your 1040 must be provided.
• On IRS Form 1040A: Sum of lines 7-14
• On IRS Form 1040EZ: Line 4

There is NO revised form yet to apply for or obtain any HOV single person access sticker after 1/1/19. . . .

I'm sure they'll wait until November, create a huge rush, and be unable to get anything issued until mid 2019 - because - its the D.M.V.

Low income buyers can take advantage of both programs ... along with a $2,000 bonus for the rebate

Is there a limit in CA per resident of $7,000? Tried to apply now and I've used $7k and kind of blocked me... should got this new one under my wife's name.. if I transfer, does anybody know if I still can get rebate under my wife name?

My taxes don’t need to subsidize people buying cars

You are paying for cleaner air, less global warming, reduced petro-dollars and a reduction in oil fueled terrorism and military adventurism.

You are not paying enough

I finally got my CVRP application approved. I qualified for the rebate under the income limits based on previous tax year's income, but am pretty confident that I will exceed limits for this tax year. I haven't yet gotten HOV stickers - will I be ineligible for them if I wait to apply next year as opposed to filing this year?

Was going to wait until 2019 to get the new purple stickers, but if I'm going to be ineligible all together, I might go ahead and apply now.

Sounds like you have to get the sticker before you get your rebate? And you cannot have both if you make 150k, 204k or 300k depending on how you filed your taxes?

But how is making just under $300,000 a year poverty? Most households filing jointly are below 300K.
