In MA we have this option for a vanity plate:
While kind of cool, I'm in the "I don't want to call additional attention to the car" club.
I'm not going with a red body color either.

Everyone can read it. Most understand it. And it will be appropriate on my Tesla.

Well my plate is ... oh my goodness, I nearly gave it away. Bad luck Colin! 
BTW Joules, my car is red, but I dont think that's what causes the extra attention.

After vacillating for some time I have decided not to go with personal plates. I did however have some ideas so others are welcome to them if they like them. First I considered NO ICE or NOTICE as a great inside nod for Tesla owners. For the Tesla owner that has everything I was thinking a pigeon pair of plates EXCES5 and EXCE55 for a matching Model X and Model S.
I managed to get "MODEL 3" for Western Australia. Now I just need the car!

I've occasionally thought about getting vanity plates for my Model 3 when I get it sometime before the end of this decade... but have similar reservations as others have expressed here, namely why do I want to draw even more attention to the car, and often vanity plates just make you look like a complete wanker unless they are particularly creative.
One thing that I find truly idiotic are vanity plates that repeat what is already badged on the car. I'm sorry, but when people pay $400 a year for that, it's the stupid tax. "FORD" on a Ford. Yes we know it's a Ford, it has a badge on it saying so. "928S" on a Porsche. No *sugar*, Einstein, it says that too on the badge.
So as great a Tesla is, "TESLA" on a Tesla is just a waste of money, as is "P90D" and similar when it already says that in silver letters just up a bit and to the right.
No doubt I'll annoy a lot of people with such rude commentary. Thumbs down and all. Each to their own, eh.

I think you will find that owning a Tesla garners a degree of attention with or without vanity plate.
I expected the attention to dissipate and attention has reduced in the nearly three years but daily I get people pointing and gawking. The questions have dried up as most people know whet it is by now.

You're sort of right.
Anyway, I'm too stingy to pay $400/yr for a piece of stamped steel. I wish they'd make it a one-off charge.

In WA it's a one only fee of $500, if the state government can sell 84 million personal plates they'll get the state debt under control.

Queensland is a one off fee too. No annual charge relating to personalised plates.
