Anyone getting the California Express lanes EV discount or any others in CA? I called the 91 lanes when I took delivery last year and thought I was getting a discount, I called them today and they say my VIN is not listed as a EV, I have to call the DMV to get them to change it.
I am waiting on a call back from DMV now.

I called DMV and my registration is listed as a Deisel. Called my lender and they told me to call my dealer. They are getting back to me for the change.

Everyone should check there registration to make sure your Lightning is listed as a EV, I was told by the Dmv it should be Q listed under "MO" mode of operation.
Mine has D for diesel. Not sure what else this would affect like registration cost?
Does yours say commercial?

I just checked my registration and the mode of operation is E. The truck is listied as commercial due to its weight.

Hope DMV fixes that fuel type error as it will affect your ability to get the HOV carpool stickers.

Commercial is for all pick up trucks no matter the size or weight.

The only way to change to automobile is to put on a permanent camper shell.

Yeah the DMV wasn't sure of the code but E makes a lot of since.

I did get this corrected 3 month's later after 2 DMV trips, 1 dealer visit and I had to get the title from my lender for the DMV to fix the problem. I'm just happy it was caught imagine getting a smog check one day.. at least it would have passed with flying colors. :)
