OK, so let's play pick-a-plate for *my* Tesla.

I'm not entirely sold on the vanity plate thing, but it's kind of fun to play around with.

Saw a DC tagged Model S with "AC DC" last night, but unfortunately that's taken in VA. So is BATTCAR, which is kind of cute.

COALPWR or some variation is a possibility, but it's a self-deprecating joke that I'm worried would be taken seriously--the whole "war on coal" thing is kind of a hot button issue.

I also like EDSN SUX, but when push comes to shove I don't really want even mild vulgarity on my license plate.

OHM FUTL is a possibility, but a) is well into powerdork territory, and b) I'm not sure anyone would get it, anyway.

I've reserved a couple that are available (you can do that for 90 days w/o cost):

ALT CRNT

and

ZUKUNFT

I kind of like the last one, because it's a tweak to the German car industry. That might be the front runner right now.

FWIW, I didn't go with a personalized plate on my Tesla... I had one for the first time earlier this year on the Boxster, and decided I really didn't like the vanity thing, so just kept the number plate I was given.

COALPWR is pretty funny -- but there are some pretty extreme environmentalists that might not take too kindly to an EV with that plate...

KWH2MPH was my top choice -- and was still avail in AZ at least a few months ago. Maybe I should still go for it (it would cost $125 since I have a 5 year registration on my car -- vanity plates are $25/year).

THINKON was my 2nd choice. I'm of Scottish decent, and that is the clan motto for my last name (or at least the proper Scotts spelling, I have a slightly Americanized version). It also would fit well with an EV -- combines forward thinking with having to power on an electric car (vs starting up an ICE)...

Maybe one of these, too?

But... you could get "03 Camry"... Its taken in AZ, but might be avail in VA... Might give people a double take -- and you could say you upgraded your car, but kept the plate...

Saw a Tesla on the way home tonight, plate read "0 gas", and I've also seen "bye ice."
