Model ☰ License Plate Ideas?

[Sportstick]

Unfortunately that's what other people think of when they see vanity plates as well. As fun and creative as they can be, they remind me of a big loud monster truck begging for attention. Makes me wonder what they are compensating for.

Sort of like big wheels?

to a lesser extent, yes

I'm sorry to hear that.

I dunno, "super mega large" sounds pretty great to me.

That could be interpreted a bit differently outside of Spanish speaking areas (if it even clears the censors).

Well, in NY I was parked behind a guy in a Prius with PEDOBEAR vanity plate, I was a bit surprised it passed the censors. I'll have to see if I can find the picture of it.

Years ago in Alaska, a clergyman received personalized plates with "CMFIC". Some people complained to the DMV and the controversy was featured in a local newspaper. The cleric explained that, despite what some may think, his plates really meant "Clergymen Make Friends in Church". Don't remember if he got to keep his plates or not.

Compensating for? I never really thought about it. I guess I run vanity plates for the same reason I put up elaborate Christmas decorations during the holidays - it is fun and allows people to express their uniqueness.

Maybe if the message is an expression of braggadocio. I don't see it as compensating for anything if the message is whimsical or personal.

Yep, much like choosing a car color (other than black) for an extra $1,000.

I guess if I put PAID60K on my TM3 that would be considered braggadocio!

Well by the time I pay for Pearl White, Xpel, and Opticoat I'll have waaaaaaaaaaay more than $1000 in exterior 'fun' and 'uniqueness'!

has anyone ordered plates in advance in California?

I ordered mine a month before getting my car, and still had to wait about 3 months before they came in. DMV told me 4 months is common. However, if you don't pick them up within about 6 weeks you lose them....so don't order TOO early. You can't pick them up without turning in a set.

Pretty close on that estimate. My recent order took 14 weeks from order to postcard.

Keep us posted how that works out

The clerk gave a "You need to call the customer service line" type answer, while giving me the "why are you asking me this? It's not my job" stink-eye.

Here in the UK, you can't choose what goes on a licence plate, so you have to work within the format that they're issued in.
I'd been passing this Renault Scenic for a number of years thinking that it should really be on a Tesla, but as I don't actually own one, I just took these photos out if interest.
Any way, when a company that sold me my own personalised licence plate some years ago asking whether they could but it back, which I didn't want to do, I mentioned seeing this plate and they told me that it had just been sold through them at the end of 2016 for somewhere between £20,000 & £25,000.
I just came across the third photo on the internet today, showing that it is now on a Tesla Model S P100D

My personalised licence plate is 80AA, which I have on my Ariel Atom.

I'm waiting on a new plate to come in. My Model 3 will be called Joules, so the plate will be JOUL3S.

It will have to go on my Acura until the Tesla comes in though.

The format of licence plates has changed a few times over the years, so to get one that looks like it spells a word, then you have to be creative using numbers to represent letters then hope you can find one that has what you're after.
Came across this photo with two personalised licence plates in it, so which car would you choose, the Aston Martin or the Range Rover Revere?
Or put another way, 2 BE or NOT 2B, that is the question.

"TSLA"-Ticker symbol and isn't 3-specific

DW and I are getting "3 U L8TR" and "HI T3CH".

I don't know if I posted this already, but currently I have "BATTMBL". I got it two cars ago just so I could be sure to get it when I get my Model 3.

Will your car be black?
