License Plates

[Mad Mac]

After searching the Internet in 2023
for a rare 2021 Nacho Gladiator
I found one at a dealer in Manheim PA.
They shipped it to me in East Texas
with dealer paper plates
and sent me the title.

My neighbor's German Shepherd Dog
followed the Fedex driver to my house
when I was not home
and took the title back to his house
and tore it up.

I did not know about it
until the neighbor brought
the mangled documents to me.

There was nothing I could do on my end
other than notify the dealer
who mailed me a duplicate title.

It's the Unicode codepoint for the full battery symbol.

Who know there was a searchable Unicode Explorer?!

Last vehicle (trailer, but still..) I registered in AZ, the DMV -- ADOT here -- printed my title along with a Temporary Plate on plastic-y paper at the ADOT office. They mailed the metal license plate to me shortly thereafter.

I would guess Slate Auto will charge a Documentation Fee. It's customary to do that these days.

What a rabbit hole. (🐰🕳)

The plate I want is really esoteric. People probably won't even recognize it as a custom plate:

U 1F50B

It's the Unicode codepoint for the full battery symbol.

In regards of the original intent of the thread, In Washington, every car I've bought new came with paper tags and the dealer submitted paperwork to the state for plates, which then got shipped to them and I had to go pick up. I'm not sure how it would work with a direct sale like with the Slate, and I don't think there's an option to just get a custom plate from the start, as the car needs to be registered to apply for the custom plate. In any case, no way am I paying extra for a minor inconvenience like having paper tags for a bit.

Is there a Unicode for a 20-80% charge. Battery longevity and all.

There's U 1FAAB for a drained battery, which would be funny for an old EV. 🪫

I’m a snowbird and having the truck shipped to family member in Arizona. Depending on the fee, I would have it delivered with plates already installed.

Unicode's got you covered.

23 (ni san / Nissan) 1F343 (🍃 LEAF FLUTTERING IN WIND)

or 1F96C 🥬 LEAFY GREEN

If it's really old, 1F342 🍂 FALLEN LEAF

Your efforts paid off. That's a nice looking whip.
Definitely doesn't look cheesy. 😉
