Police didn’t like the Arizona temporary tags

Pretty much just standard MD police at work. Yet they will ignore all the non-front plate tesla drivers buzzing about the place.

Interesting. I bought my 2023 Lucid Air AWD back in July 2023 at Goose Island Chicago location and was immediately issued Illinois plates (actual plates on my car upon pickup) and never even received a temporary. This must vary from state-to-state

In my case, there were no dealers in my state.

Lucid has no dealer system in any state

It's confusing but you likely meant a store/showroom
PA has a store/showroom but you can't buy from them, you have to talk to someone in CA and get papers done with them

I actually took it as no Service center as I picked up at the Lucid Goose Island Service center and NOT the showroom. I was told the Oakbrook showroom location was not set up for deliveries. Do other locations in the USA do deliveries from their showrooms? I honestly though it was ONLY from service locations (the deliveries)

I had a simlar thing happen with a Mitsubishi I bought from California like 10 years ago. It took so long to get plates that the local cop here finally pulled me over and asked me why i didn't have any cuz he saw me every day.

My BMW came from a BMW dealer in California too, and the process is now so long that Idaho gives you a 1 year conditional plate, they gave up trying to even track the CA DMV. So its probably not a Lucid specific issue.

Dallas does deliveries or did. It's where I picked up mine.

Not sure if this counts as an issue, but it’s definitely a problem i experienced that seems unique to Lucid.

Got pulled over in my new Lucid Air in Maryland. I wasn’t speeding, didn’t break any laws. They just thought my Arizona temp tags looked fake, then said the number didn’t come up when they ran it in their system. They also thought it was sketchy when they asked where i bought the car, which was in Tysons Corner, Virginia.

So, is there an issue with the tags? Also, why are the tags Lucid gave me from Arizona if I bought it in Virginia?

When I got my paper tags I didn't know what state they were, because it doesn't say arizona. I think it just says AST or something, the state motor vehicle system. But yes, it just looks like a basic white tag cut from regular printer paper, but it was legit, as the temp registrations matches. I too am in Maryland , and was always noid about being pulled over for it. I had a couple cops behind me, but for 2 months waiting on my hard tags, I never got pulled over

The issue is that the temporary tag does not contain the information of the issuing state. AZ should be printed on the tag as any other states.

just the abbreviation of their MVA (motor vehicles dept), but agree, it should clearly say the full word Arizona, and it doesnt
