Yes that's exactly what I have ordered. Should be here today so I will go back to the Inspection place tomorrow. I was just not happy because missing the front plate is not something you'd discover during inspection. They would see that even before pulling the car into the inspection bay. So I am still not sure what was the need to pull the car in and do the inspection and then put the red sticker. One theory I have is that if they had sent me back, I could have gone to any other MA inspection place once I got my plate installed. This way, they got those $39 they desperately want and now I will have no choice but to go back to them to get the correct March sticker. Anyway, not a big deal but wanted to caution others.

The same Inspection place told me that in Boston, Cambridge/Sommerville area, even if you are parked on the side of the road, those parking enforcement officers going around checking parking meters can also give you a ticket if: Your registration has expired, you have a broken head light or your front number plate is missing. Usually people challenge the broken stuff saying they were not aware, etc. but that requires going to Cambridge court and what not. Missing plate would be hard to challenge but I guess one could argue saying it blew away due to bad glue etc. Anyway, I plan to install a front plate as soon as my PPF is done.
They told me they almost always install rear panel PPF and front mud flaps unless they run out. In that case you can always come back and they will do it for you. So just hope that they have not run out on that day for you.
Regarding EV plates, you might already know that there is no difference between EV place and a non EV plate. However, the EV plates look cool. As per the SA, they get a batch every morning from RMV so they install those during the day. Sometimes RMV runs out of EV plates and gives them regular plates. Then they install those that day. Worse case you can always go and get that replaced from RMV but you'd have to pay $60 for another registration. You'd also need to make sure that the RMV has them before you, etc. Most people don't bother.
Monday I picked in Norwell Tesla and they gave EV plates. they said they have to put a front plate.
there is so much to this insurance craziness. factors that would have impact on the premium (at least for mapfre) - 5% discount if you donate to pan mass challenge, no rental, increasing deductible from $500 to $1000 decreases premium significantly, mileage ( insurance companies track this by reading odo meter from state inspection) - good luck with adjusting these factors and you will get a better price.
rate was indeed insane. more than our previous car that was replaced by the Tesla and our other car combined just for the new car. they indeed put yearly mileage of 11k miles I am guessing from the previous car estimation. Will try to adjust as I work from home and so does my spouse so nothing like a regular commute.
Question about the MOR-EV I got a message:
"You did not submit a complete Tesla motor vehicle purchase/lease agreement."
Do you guys get a Tesla Purchase Agreement?
I am looking at the paperwork and I do not see one.
In the account I see only these:
Did you folks use any of those for Purchase agreement?
Cheers

what are ppl getting in terms of efficiency in the Northeast weather?
For the past month (30F -40F), with heat set to 69, chill mode, unheated garage, no warming up the car before driving:
Local roads (5-8 mile run) - 330 Wh/mi
highway (long cruising) - 280 Wh/mi
For now, I'm assuming its the cold weather but curious what others are getting in metro boston area.

The easiest way is in-app payment. on the day before, put in the bank details (to check logins) but DO NOT COMPLETE the final step (it will draw the $, the app does not make this obvious). If you skip the final ok step everything reverts and nothing is saved
when u ok to do delivery, repeat the same steps to completion.
some advise for those picking up a car and can choose to wait for another vehicle (ie not trying to meet any EV credit deadlines):
-trunk alignment fixes can become 'best effort' fixes, they may fix a gap on one side but make it worse on the other and then tell you its within spec. If you are very picky, its possible you could be rolling the dice on this one because it depends on the quality of the worker fixing it for you.
- anything that requires a repaint (large chip, deep scratch) risks over spray and blending issues.
- if you wait for the next vin, it could be worse.

Thanks everyone for the advice. I think I’m going to do the in app option and not complete the final step until I’m satisfied with the vehicle.
What’s everyone seeing for MA/Boston insurance prices? I just got quoted $59x for 6 months so just under $100/month for comprehensive coverage with a $1000 deductible.
