Hello fellow Sunshine Staters,
One week ago I put down the deposit for my new Tesla, and spoke to the agent at my delivery location in West Palm earlier today. He said that they can handle getting the plates from my old car transferred over to my new Tesla. However, it would be about 3-4 weeks before my official registration comes through the mail, at which time I can go to the DMV and get my HOV sticker.
I understand that them handling the plates is supposed to save me a trip to the DMV, but since I'd have to go anyway to get my HOV sticker, why not just go to the DMV to get my plates transferred, get my registration there, then get my HOV sticker in one fell swoop. It sounds logical to me, but the agent on the phone sounded surprised when I asked about it. Has anybody had a similar experience?
And on a side note, does anybody have a recommendation on where to put that large, ugly square sticker? Prius owners seem to slap it in the upper trunk like a badge of honor, but from my perspective all it does is crap up the beauty of the luxury sedan. It would be great if the FHP would recognize a Tesla and let us go without the sticker!
