Futuristic Digital License Plate on my Tesla - Rplate

[DrDabbles]

What other sayings can you choose from and have they implemented the HOV stickers yet?

"Spent too much", "Added e-waste", and "Advertise your business here" are the current options.

I just changed mine today from I Voted to Happy Thanksgiving, cause it's been another week

They have sports: I'd rather be playing golf -> sailing and Let's go Warriors
They have what they call "brands":
Happy Thanksgiving -> Happy Father's Day
Inspirational: Choose Hope -> Don't Pollute
Proud Grandma -> Baby on Board
Watch for Motorcycles -> Slow Down
Protect Wildlife -> Early Screening Saves Lives
US Army -> Honor, Courage, Commitment
Eureka! -> West Coast

And some new ones:

Driving the Future, Just Win Baby!!, Forever Faithful, Protect Wild Steelhead

Toll Tags - EZ Pass
HOV Lane access - no more ugly stickers
Parking tags - fee paying and displaying time remaining on meter
Disability Parking - Replaces placard when parked
Fleet Vehicle Tracking - has real-time telematics and records historical tracks so if you are a Turo owner for example, you know exactly where your Tesla visited and when
Amber Alerts
Stolen Car Alert and tracking

Is HOV lane access a feature yet or is there an ETA? I spoke with them a couple months ago and they have absolutely no ETA about it. Sounded like it was a pipe dream that they tossed out as an incentive for people to buy these. But I'd definitely buy one if they figured this out.

This thing is dumb...

But the California hov sticker is dumber.

I saw they dropped the price on them too

I almost bit at 499 with a 200 certificate to have it professionally installed, but I decided not too.

They then changed their website to get rid of the included installation.

I don't understand why this is so expensive and needs installation. E-ink doesn't use power when retaining an image - shouldn't a single battery be able to power the display for the life of the battery until it expires? Unless you're changing the text every hour... If they made it $100 or $150 max with no other features or monthly fee I would consider it - but can't use here in NJ anyway.

Thankfully we over here in Germany are too oldschool for such antics.
Just bought my plates for the almost-about-to-be-delivered e-Golf and the Model 3 - standard metal like always.
I guess I'm too old for this s...

Don't forget, it also has a GPS and a Cellular Modem built in. Kinda dumb on a Tesla, as they have those too, but on an average car you can track your kids, or if you loan the car out track the location. So you are not paying the $10++ a month for another cellular connection most of those gadgets cost.

what a waste of money. so many other/better ways to solve the issues this supposedly solves...

I don't need yet another item to cause someone to try vandalizing/stealing stuff of my car.

It is $1k with install. Saving it for new rims/tires

View attachment 329127 I have been following the digital license plate pilot program since the beginning of the year and decided to take the plunge last week for a number of reasons. The old metal license plates have been around for over a hundred years and the evolution to a digital plate is an absolute certainty in the years ahead. If you drive a futuristic electric Telsa automobile, you are an early adopter and the digital license plate is probably right up your alley. Here are a few of the reasons I decided to install the Rplate in my Tesla:
1) Im not a fan of applying the HOV sticker on such a beautiful car. The Digital Plate will have the ability make those stickers obsolete. Implementation of this HOV access feature will be enabled soon.
2) Custom Taglines and Graphics/Pictures
3) Realtime kinematics and tracking
4) No more registration stickers All electronic registration.
5) Adjustable background - black background/white lettering or white background / black lettering
6) Tolls / Parking fees - nice to eventually get rid of the EZ Pass box
7) Handicap Placard - we often forget swapping the placard in our cars for our handicapped son.

Al & Eds in Marina Del Rey is running an installation special now, waiving the $380 installation fee if you mention this TMC thread. See these youtube videos:

We love these! I would say 90% of the clients that come into our studio end up installing R-Plate Pros.

On Teslas? I don't get the advantages

Curious why would they get a Pro on a Tesla?
