    Love it! Love it!

    We're off to DMV tomorrow to register our "plateless" car We've had so many ignorant "nice Lotus!" shouts from other vehicles that we actually talked (ok, joked) about getting NOLOTUS as a vanity plate. Apparently we have to get regular plates first, then request vanity plates later.

    Thanks for the post Bonnie!

    I decided that I liked the Black/White plates on my Jet Black car, so I broke down and got vanity plates. In Texas, we are limited to only 6 spaces :frown:

    That's right! The letters are so big, we can only fit 6 on a standard license plate. I know what you're thinking... why don't we make our license plates bigger? It's those darn Feds... we are fed up with them for many reasons, we debate seceding all the time. :cursing:

    We do have two really big registration/inspection stickers that we must place directly in front of the driver in the lower left corner of the windshield. Gotta love it.

    Move the star to behind the letters and you can fit more characters on the plate.

    I went to DMV in CA yesterday and got ELETRK for my Tesla. People still have no clue it is electric, uses no oil or gas, and gets up to 60 in under 4 sec. I figure i'll start the education by eletric and go from there. Other plates that were available still in CA, that I passed on were...

    I usepwr
    zip oil
    zlch gas
    nooo oil
    0 emishn
    gas nope
    0 60sub4
    0 oilgas
    gas hehe
    gasno ty
    gas lmao
    over gas
    dunwgas
    2fst 4gs

    I hope those help anyone who is still interested for a plate in CA. I almost went with "dunwgas", although my wife's favorite was "zlch gas"
  • Jul 14, 2011

    What about "past gas"...or is that too many letters? :eek::biggrin::wink:
  • Jul 14, 2011

    I was trying to get
    0-60 in 3.7 down to just 6 characters, wasn't possible. So I went with what I have above for the same reason as @Ladman23. No one here understands that this is electric. Closest I came was this:

    PLPC155?plateText=60N3.7.png

    Would have gotten this background too, if it came in black.

    I did this too. Relating each car plate to each other and they still stand alone. Once I showed up in my SUV and something thought I no longer had the Roadster. My plates are the same message but flipped.

    I originally bought "N TESLA" for my car, in honor of the famous inventor. But as I've mentioned before in this thread, my Roadster arrived with the #1 Ontario Green Vehicle plates - GVAA 001. Couldn't take those off!

    So I stuck the "N TESLA" plates on my G37. Now every time someone sees it they say, "does that mean Not Tesla?" Even my Ranger said that. Sigh.

    My personal rules for vanity plates:

    1) No inside jokes. They're not funny to the 99.999% of people that read the plate.

    2) if you can't figure them out in about 3 seconds, try something else ;)
  • Sep 12, 2011

    Wow. Exactly the opposite of my rules.

    They all seem a bit odd (extra zero, and why is it 400th?, and why 10TESLA instead of 1 TESLA?), but not sure I get your meaning TEG.
  • Oct 9, 2011
    TEG
    They all use the letter O instead of the number 0 (zero) in places where one would want a zero.

    I had that happen once with a personalized plate where I tried to use 900 (for 900cc) as part of the plate, but the DMV created it as "9OO" (with letters).
    Once I got stopped and when the highway patrol tried to run the 900 (nine-zero-zero) part it came back as not a valid plate.
    I wonder if those cars would suffer the same issue if someone tried to "run their plate" and used zeros instead of letter Os.

    Check how a letter O looks more like a box shape, with a zero (at the end) being more oval (tall and thin):
    [?IMG]

    I wonder if it is just a clerk or OCR trying to scan in and mis-entering letters instead of numbers when they create it?
    I wonder what would happen if you tried to get a personalized plate with a mix of zeros and letter Os like 0O0O0O
  • Oct 9, 2011
    TEG
    By the way,
    I think the slashes through the letters Os in "O OIL O" were added by hand,
    4OOth was probably meant to be 400th as the 400th Roadster,
    and 1OTESLA was probably meant to be 10TESLA for a 2010 Tesla.
  • Oct 9, 2011

    WA state gets around that. In WA, the number 1 and the letter I are the same character as are the number 0 and the letter O. I'm guess they're all ones and zeros for computer purposes.

    Or: 1.0 Tesla as in a 2008 model?
    Or: I O(we) Tesla as in a leased/financed Roadster?
    Or: 10 Tesla as in measurement of magnetic fields and referencing brushless motors?
    Or: Roadster VIN #0010
    Or: just someone who likes levitating frogs using a 10 tesla magnetic coil....

    Back in the day if you tired to get any two-number combination in front of "TESLA" (XXTESLA) all 1 though 99 choices were available. If you wanted the company name (and back then is was also the car name) you could slap a coul'a numbers on the front to get TESLA on your plate. Which number pairs would you think would go first?
  • Oct 9, 2011
    NigelM

  • Oct 9, 2011

    FYI, "1OTESLA" is not a 2008, and not VIN#10. It is a 2010 Model 2.0
  • Oct 10, 2011
    TEG
    I think the TESLAXX combo is more popular.
    I had seen pictures of all of these on California Roadsters:
    TESLA6
    TESLA16
    TESLA18
    TESLA23
    TESLA29
    TESLA44
    TESLA55
    TESLA64
    TESLA78
    TESLA84
    Note, not all of those are signature 100. Some low numbered ones were taken by Founders' and VP cars, so some Sig100 customers might have not had a chance to get the plate they wanted.
  • Oct 10, 2011

    1OTESLA is mine.
    It was ordered meaning 2010 Tesla. Ordered it when they anounced model year as 2010. Although I got it in 2009. 10 has meaning to me. Its my birthday today 10/10 and as a soccer player I always have played with 10 as jersey number.
    and yes its a letter O. I always wonder if it would mess up a parking ticket. Luckily have not gotten any to find out yet.

    As for levitating frogs.... I had left the top off this morning and ran out when it started raining. Did not see any frogs leap out.

    At the Mercer Island Plug-in America event, I overheard a husband-wife Leaf owning couple pondering the meaning of plate 00FF00 on a nearby Roadster. When I explained that it was hex for the color green, they said "oh, ok, but it's a black car!". So I had to remind them of "green" technology. So, evidently the plate is esoteric and nerdy on two levels. :biggrin: Hmm, I wonder if FFFFFF is still available. :smile:
