Unless there's a benefit, I don't see the point. Councils adopting them for parking concessions maybe.

That's one of the suggestions, reduced parking charges or a way to recognise zero emission vehicles in congestion charge zones (where they're usually exempt).
The new city requirements for zero emission zones could see vehicles without the green strip being banned - or at least stopped and checked - in future.
There's also a slightly weird idea that people will want them as a sort of boast, but that's not the British way in my experience.
They’re never going to resource that! It will be ANPR like the London Congestion Charge and it doesn’t care if you have a green stripe, a St George’s cross or a Welsh dragon.

I have them fitted to my car. Bought them from the link earlier in this thread, but had to ring them to make sure they made up road legal ones.

A few companies - some info Green number plates but other similar companies
I've been waiting for them to be road legal and BS AU 145e manufactured as I've had to replace a few plates in the past due to weathering and 145e should be more robust than 145d
For anyone interested I contacted ProPlates who make the stick on plates many Model 3 owners use and they have knocked up a page for the new plates.

I can’t see anything on their website regarding legal markings. I guess these could be stuck over the plate that came with the car? I’m looking at getting some as I now need a plate for a bike rack
By legal markings I assume you mean the BS AU 145 and manufacturer name. Both of these have been present on road legal plates I have ordered from proplates previously although they are small and inconspicuous. I wouldn't personally stick anything on or over another number plate, the police are likely to get arsey and ask it to be removed, even if it is a legal plate over the top.
Ask your leasing company/proplates, they may be able to help. A letter of authorization is usually needed for new plates on a lease where you don't hold the V5
They all say you're supposed to provide the V5 but I think they just look up the address of the registered keeper and it if matches they don't bother asking.
