License Plates

[pendek244]

Just for discussion, I know everyone wants to keep costs down: I have a question on license plates n sticker. Would you be willing to pay at time of ordering your Slate, a fee, let’s say $95 to have the license plates shipped to the Slate service center and when you pickup your Slate, plates are already installed on the vehicle, instead of getting temp tags and waiting 2 weeks for plates to show up in the mail.

Is that an option on other vehicles? I figured that was the necessary evil that varies from state to state.

Here in Texas
license plates can be ordered in advance.
Why pay extra?
What is wrong
with temporary paper plates?

I thought this was going to be
a custom plate idea thread.
In Texas we have 7 digit plates.
Here is my choice.

WATTSUP

Not all states issue temporary paper registration "plates".
In my state, you must have the metal plates (front and rear) on the vehicle before it leaves the dealer's lot.
The gas stations and repair shops that issue the state's safety inspection sticker are also monitored by Registry of Motor Vehicles via CCTV.

I've not bought a vehicle using the direct to consumer method, so I don't know how it works in my state regarding tags. But I do know as long as you have paperwork of the sale with a VIN, you can get tags at the DMV. I would not pay extra.

Arizona does not give metal plates or tabs/sticker at the DMV.

No, I wouldn't pay extra for that. I'll just wait to get the plates. That's not worth any money at all to me. It's not an inconvenience in my eyes.

Texas just passed a law getting rid of paper temporary plates, vehicles leave the dealer/are delivered with plates. Not sure what Arizona's rules are.
