Vanity Plates

[Mark E]

Not sure why, but I have had my personalized plates for 30 years, and I am not expected to pay an annual fee. However, I am the exception, not the rule. It still cost me around $220 to remanufacture them for Red Devil. Seriously, for two bits of aluminium? Even painted aluminium!!

My Personalised plates on my Bike and my 928 cost me $170 once off, however a few years ago the RTA/RMS gave the authority to a private company and any new plates require the annual fee. I found out when I went to get some plates for my wife as a present. I objected and asked for details of the tender process and what percentage comes back to the taxpayer. I was told that I'd need to pay for an FOI to get the information - it's as dodgy as a NSW coal Licence, a cafe lease in circular quay, or a free bottle of Grange matching your DOB.

My old plates are ME-928, great on a 928 but not so catchy on a MS, hence why I sprung for the ME-85-MS plates and the subsequent $99 ripoff. We have an election coming up, I can feel some communication with my local MP in the not too distant future.

I just got 85 KWH for QLD. Anyone interested in Q EV 01 Y?

What size plates to folks have for Front and back? Are both slimline or is one "standard" and one slimline?

IMHO, the 'slimline' for the front plate carrier (not obstructing the grille) and the 'standard' (or in Victoria, the now available larger US style plate) on the rear. Well done JOH !

Snap!

Both plates are the same size for this style in NSW and match the standard mount on the front of the Model S.

Hi Higgy Do you still Have TSLA?

Still available.

Still available.

Hi Higgy I sent you a notification.

Hi Davide - couldn't see how to upload photo with private mail so9 here is the photo.

Note it is slimline but looks larger as the length is only as long as it needs to be!

Cheers

Higgy, look at the items on the centre menu bar. You will see an icon to upload pictures and another for video.

Hmm, was it anyone here? tassie, TasDevil, TasMC?

That one was already taken when I started looking about 12 months ago :-(. I picked "TESLAS" as next best.

I've just ordered my new plate today. I thought that I'd go with a word association: Tesla......

unfortunately coil wasn't available

 

[Dborn]

How about " Induction"? Too long?

At least I can look at my plates while I dream about the car for the next 6 months...

As a Sydneysider, I envy your one-off plate fees…

I wanted to get P85D too but thought the $400/year fee was a rip off. I went with the cheaper option of MSP85D instead.

Always liked the idea of 'Revolt' as a plate.

 

[Ainkara]

There was a Leaf at Electrikhana today with 'RA VOLT', as is sun god and electricity, plus play on revolt. Don't know what I would get when I eventually get one...
