Visualized: Tesla owner talks smack using world's greatest vanity plate

Owning one of the world's most electrifying and exclusive four-wheelers not enough for you? In that case, you'll probably be wanting a bright orange paintjob and a vanity plate that rubs pretty much every other road user up the wrong way.

@Zer0fluX
You should have stuck with your "batteries are bad for the environment" bit, which is true, rather than ranting about CO2 not being a pollutant (what? As a GHG, it pollutes the atmosphere in a way that traps solar radiation), and comparing a couple dollops of axle grease put on once, in manufacturing, to the amount of oil your body-lifted pickup with KMC Rockstars consumes sitting at a stoplight.

I spotted a similar plate a couple months ago in Illinois....

How about "WUT COAL?"

[fetman1 Posted Jul 20th 2010 11:27AM]

if you have the ignorance to bad mouth the tesla roadster or any other tesla products that are hand made to this day atleast know how it works and the fact that the concept for the motor in this vehical is based off of nikola tesla's invention of the electric motor that has no moving parts that ever need to be replaced.

[professorpi Posted Jul 20th 2010 12:19PM]

LOL LIMITED RANGE --->LOL LMTD RNG

LOL LONG CHARGE ---> LOL LNG CHRG

LOL COAL ----> LOL COAL

LOL SLOW(ish) ---> LOL SLOW

LOL BANKRUPT ---> LOL BNKRPT

Now if only our license plates could fit all of that

@professorpi - Says the Oil Company Luddite as O-Tesla plugs into the solar or wind charging station smiling and recollecting all those Mustangs and even a Ferrari or 2 that folded when the red stop light turned green, Whoosh! Can’t wait for the replacement solar tilled roof and hood panel and the Star Wars “sound pack”. Hum, Tie-Fighter or X-Wing sound tomorrow?

[professorpi Posted Jul 20th 2010 1:18PM]

@Frankenstein Black-- Still doesn't change the fact that it is overpriced, long charge times, and is bankrupt. Plus any Mustang (let alone Ferrari) can top the Tesla's top speed of 125 mph. Additionally, if you will recall from episode IV, X Wings used fuel and not even TIE fighters ran on electricity like this Tesla does.

[MarcO Posted Jul 21st 2010 3:00AM]

@professorpi

Yes, because you really need to go faster than 125 mph pretty much all the time, yes ? Doesn't matter than a Tesla will own most of the sportscars out there when the light turns green... Slow to charge ? Bullshit. Get the proper charger. And most drivers will be topping off, not charging an empty battery pack every night. Lastly - bankrupt ? You might want to catch up a little... They just went public, got a sizeable cash infusion in the process, and now have a pretty lucrative new partnership with Toyota. Stop spreading nonsense, please.

[vkrishna Posted Jul 20th 2010 4:03PM]

I saw a vanity plate with the words 'NOXOST' on a Tesla Roadster in VA.

[DigitalDaddy Posted Jul 20th 2010 4:33PM]

Haha I love it!

[dec7td Posted Jul 21st 2010 1:22AM]

Maybe it should read "COAL FTW"

[burnedpixel Posted Jul 28th 2010 3:16PM]

@dec7td I guess we think alike...lol

[Tegdagne Posted Jul 21st 2010 6:41AM]

BP STFU

[Tegdagne Posted Jul 21st 2010 6:42AM]

Or

how about:

BP CEO RTFM

[albion01 Posted Jul 22nd 2010 12:00AM]

LOL COAL

[A25i Posted Jul 26th 2010 10:44AM]

Look at the gap between the bumper and quarter panel. Is that a freaking solar panel? Shit build quality. I'll take an Insight or Prius plz.

[burnedpixel Posted Jul 28th 2010 3:16PM]

I'm thinking a more appropriate plate would be: COAL FTW

[mdp Posted Aug 10th 2010 3:34AM]

I saw this exact car as I was driving home from work last week (on the Golden Gate Bridge). I had watched the Top Gear review of it, in which they basically had two die on them in an afternoon. When I saw the Tesla on the bridge I remember thinking that I would probably, at some point in the future, wind up seeing a picture online of that car, plate "LOL OIL," out of juice by the side of the road. Maybe with some sort of large gas powered vehicle and a douche-bag nearby. I don't know. I'm just glad to see it's still going, I mean, how can't you find a battery operated (albeit pretty heavy) Louts interesting? It would be impossible. Even Toyota likes them.
