I hope this is the proper place for these, here is a pic of my brand spanking new 2013 SV
that plate is 30 plus years old, I did notice it, I am sure it is long forgottenEVDRIVER said:You forgot to block the plate on the wall.

I have never understood why you block out the plate? Anyone know?
What are those cards on the wall?

because plates can be used to look up IDs addresses and the like it is a privacy thing. as for the "cards"
maybe we can make it into a contest :lol:

I can't answer the charging question because I just got it, It was not fully charged on delivery, it had about 72 miles showing on the GOM and I drove it about 30 miles on a shake down ride and plugged it in at 11pm when I woke up it was charged. and yes it has the 6.6 chargerrumpole said:Very nice. Do you have the 6.6 kW charger? One question I've had is how many miles can you put on per hour of charging at L1 (110V)? It's about 5-6 on my 2012 with the 3.3 kW charger. Perhaps when you're 50 or so miles down on the GOM, you could time how long it takes to add them back.
You and I agree, too much info can be acquired via a plate, and while anyone can copy your plate while driving, posting it on a forum like this is like serving the info up. in the whole scheme of things covering up or leaving it exposed really shouldn't make much of a difference and way too much efforts are going into discussing it.cra said:I think that blocking the plate when posting is a good habit. At least here in Norway, where you can sms the plate number to a service number and receive information about the owner. That way it would take me about 15 seconds to get the address of the owner of the surfboard, cooling fan and the mentioned cards. I sometimes do this when I see a new EV in my area to find out if I perhaps know the owner.
Not sure if you have that service in other countries, but better safe than sorry, right?
If you were really concerned about security, instead of covering the number, you should photoshop in a different number, so thieves who are jonesing for that fan or homer bucket are thrown off the trail.apvbguy said:the whole scheme of things covering up or leaving it exposed really shouldn't make much of a difference
