CAV Decal 2020

Model 3 has Arrived.
We might get first details about color sometime around November or December. They will NOT start issuing the new 2020 decals until 2020.
A mod should probably move this thread to California.
Seems like purple stickers were reported in the press in Nov 2018...
California's New Purple HOV Sticker To Debut In January 2019
Look for new gridlock-busting purple California Clean Air stickers (Updated)
I actually learned of the purple stickers a few days before those stories while having dinner w/a bunch of EV enthusiasts.

I am very curious about this as well. I finally got my permanent registration and was wondering if I should apply for the 2019 HOV sticker or wait for 2020 HOV sticker...
wait. by the time you get the stickers if you apply now, you will have 2 months left this year at most.

Ok, I think I'll wait. When do you think I can apply for 2020 decal? November, December, or have to wait until January of 2020?
I'd wait, but keep in mind:

Did you apply for the California Clean Vehicle Rebate? My understanding is that you can’t get both the sticker and the rebate. It’s one or the other.
That's not true. You can get both. You can't get the rebate if your single income is over $150k/yr or joint over $280k/yr.

I did apply for Clean vehicle rebate. You are right but only applies to those who make more than $150k single or $300k joint. Since I'm under, I'm ok to apply for both rebate and decal.
I just need to find out when I can apply for 2020 decal, since it takes about 2 months. I wonder if application date comes in effect or receiving date..
Looking at the CA DMV site, the current decal (purple) expires in Jan of 2023. So why would one need to wait?
Since we have no information on 2020 sticker, it is all just guessing/hoping (and I doubt this program will be terminated per warning.. just hoping it wont get worse).
Currently you have 4 years essentially. so you have 2020/2021/2022 (36 months) (ends jan 2023) and what's left of 2019 (2 months)
so if all stays the same... and we apply first thing 2020. it would expire jan 2024 so we have a full 4 years.2020 2021 2022 2023 (48 months vs 38 months if we take the 2019 sticker)

When I got my car exactly a year ago, i waited until January 2019 to apply to get extra year. Due to overwhelming amount of applications, CA DMV fell way behind and it took over a month to get stickers. The only way was to physically mail them in. Many waited until January to get "extra year" As of now, it will likely will happen, but as others posted, this program can be terminated and waiting would be a waste. Check out other threads here we people also buy clear film for stickers or magnets, etc so when they expire its easy to take them off.
Yep.
Current Clean Air Vehicle Decal | California Air Resources Board spells out the validity periods.
I'm not sure if I should report this thread so it gets moved to the CA area as it's still in the wrong area. It's CA specific and not specific to the Model 3 nor any Tesla.
