For a new car purchase, wouldn't Tesla need to file their paperwork first before the DMV can issue any plates even if you go in person?

California DMV - Plates & HOV Stickers

Oops. Yes, they would. I guess if Tesla sent nothing, that would pose a problem.
How ‘bout driving the Tesla to a service center and say “ you guys forgot to send the paperwork to the DMV. Give me a loaner that is legal to drive until you fix this mess”. Yah, good luck with that.

Called Tesla again, she said the registration/plate has been issued and are being mailed to me. 8 days until the temp plates expire, so cutting it as close as they can. I'll be out of town next week driving the Tesla, so hope I don't get pulled over until I come back home in April.
You may want to consider calling the DMV with your VIN handy. Tesla messed up my registration and failed to submit paperwork to the DMV, which delayed the process. If the DMV tells you they are missing any documentation/information, make sure to contact Tesla to get that submitted ASAP.
How long did it take you to get it in your mailbox after mailing? I've been waiting for a while.

I sent the HOV application with check about 3 weeks ago. The check has not been cleared yet.
I wouldn't worry about being pulled over for expired plates/stickers. I'm a severe procrastinator, and I usually put my annual DMV stickers on about 6 months after they expire LOL. Never been pulled over for that.
Hi,
I sent my DMV form 1000 on December 31, 2022. Check cashed Feb 27, 2023. Still no stickers as of March 30, so called DMV, who said stickers were assigned to my car Feb 22, 2023. They suggesting sending a new form 1000 asking for replacement stickers, which I did.
My questions here:
- Anyone here send their form 1000 around the same time and still waiting?
- Anyone have a similar situation (now or in the past) and have suggestions to expedite replacement stickers (assuming mine were lost/stolen and not just taking a long time)? I'm hoping to avoid waiting another 2 months for DMV to process the new application form.
Thanks for any input!

Replying to my own message... The message was moved to this thread and no longer has the subject line from when I posted it separately (also can't edit it). Just want to make it clear that the above post is asking about California carpool stickers.
the DMV just cashed my check last week. so it looks like the process is longer than 30 days (says this in the form). Hopefully my stickers are delivered w/o delay/lost mail.

Thanks, good to know. The plates did come 1 day before the temp plates were going to expire, 3 months after I bought the car.
I have/had RED CA DMV stickers for my 2018 M3. Never put them on, job change and then Pandemic meant it wasn’t really needed at all. At this point, is there anyone one can do to get back into the clean air vehicles good graces other than buy a new or more recent model year vehicle? It seems a bit odd that one can only get three years of carpool/other benefit out of a clean air vehicle purchase. Should have just taken the rebate at this point.
