I recently heard the same from a Tesla rep regarding the process in CA. He indicated that Tesla will only provide sequential plates after which the customer can order personalized plates from the DMV. I suppose my other option would be to reserve a personalized plate in advance by paying a fee to the DMV and then eventually transferring it to the Tesla. Anyone have experience with the process for reserving a personalized plate in CA before taking delivery of their Tesla?
In CA, I ordered a personalized plate months in advance of the car delivery date. I checked in with the local DMV office to ask them to hold on to the plates for me which they were happy to do.
I took delivery in mid May and my "pink" slip arrived about two weeks later. It has been about a week and the actual plates have not arrived yet. Is this normal or do I need to follow up on this? The plan was to bring the plates into the DMV office and swap them out for the personalized plates.
