TEG

(From stuff seen on his blog)
Last I heard he hadn't decided if to leave the Roadster up here, or move it down there. Yes the panels in SoCal are capturing more power than he needs right now with no Roadster down there at the moment. He said something about maybe putting panels on the house up here so that both location are covered.

I can vouch for the fact that Martin knows how to drive quickly, but I don't know if he has ever actually driven competitively on a track.

No, I am no race driver.

Dot as in 'DOT legal' or 'is the extra period legal'?

Technically, probably not legal, at least in California.
In practice probably low odds of getting challenged over it.
I had an extra apostrophe on one of my plates for years and it didn't cause a problem.

If something comes of it, the most likely outcome would probably be that they make you remove it.

By the way, I bet the lack of a front plate is more likely to get noticed.

Suggestions from the CHP


Oregon 803.550:
"...Illegal alteration or display of a registration plate...
...(a) Any change of the color, configuration, numbers, letters or material of the plate.
...(b) Any material or covering, other than a frame or plate holder, placed on, over or in front of the plate that alters the appearance of the plate.

If the lack of a front plate becomes an issue, I hereby offer to host Martin's car in the State of Florida where we understand asthetics. We don't force people to put ugly license plates on their cars.
I'll even build a garage. (This goes for anybody's Tesla, Tango or, eventually, Aptera)
