Custom plates

[LN1_Casey]

I will finally be getting my model S in October of this year, when I move to my new duty station. I previously had custom plates for my vehicle when I was last stateside, and would like that to continue with my Model S performance.

Hawaii, my soon to be state, has a limit of 6 characters. They thankfully have a online configuration website, here. I have discovered that "EDISON" is available. Dunno, should I get it for the irony? Alternatively, ZOOOM is also available. Choices....

Does anyone else have custom plates, if so, of what? Or does anyone have a suggestion?

I have GN2PLAD on my MS Performance. I figured, working and being friends with a bunch of fellow nerds, that more people would get the Spaceballs/Ludicrous reference, but it's been 50/50.

Nice. Pity that Plaid mode hasn't come out yet, as it'd match that perfect. Maybe if your license plate cover was also a Spaceballs theme, or plaid, it'd be more obvious?

I was going to put BADTSLA on one of my early cars. Then weeks later it was in an accident. The cops might not have been as friendly, helpful, and non-judgmental if it had those plates on.

But hey it's a personal choice. Do whatever you wan't.

I will say a lot of Tesla's have custom plates, at least out here, and most of them are playful or play on words. You could do the same with Edison, or go the other way with ZOOOM.

Me personally I like to keep a low profile. Not too tricked. Subtle paint and wheels. No plates or frame that say look I drive beyond the limit so often and am so proud of it I need to advertise. "Seems" to give just enough with the cops when you get pulled over for doing over.

Many posts in this forum have pictures of Tesla vehicles showing creative custom plates. But why do a majority of posters hide plates in videos and photos? How could showing the plate be harmful? Plates are public information and we see them every day.

Various reasons I’m sure.

don’t want people to know what state they live in.

Generally just carefully with anything personal

Paranoid.

Don’t want anyone using the plate to file a dmv report for say hit and run or to file accident report and have insurance pull the name and address or something so they can mess with someone else from the forum for whatever reason.

I think vanity plates are generally more common on Tesla's than any other cars. Early on (2012-2016), a lot of people would play on the fact that their car is electric and doesn't use oil or gas since Tesla's are less common then. It became so common for us in the Tesla crowd so much so that that most automotive journalists and automotive YouTubers that are critical of Tesla's would point out this particular practice of what they called "Tesla Fanboys."

It boils down to personal choice of course, at the end of the day, do what makes you feel good, not what others think you should do.

On second thought maybe not.... LOL ha ha

i went with the standard plate, mainly due to being naseous of the overuse of anything along the lines of "LOLOPEC", "HAHAOPEC", "BYEOPEC", etc.

If you are really mad at Tesla and Elon, use this one.

wait, maybe that is a bad idea.

Just a couple of ideas
SAY WATT
0X45
SH0CKER
MUSK1E
ASSAULT
V0LTAGE
C0NDU1T

Some of these might already be taken. Not by me, I have an ordinary ABC-1234 style plate.
