It could be a bought-out-of-state issue?

Two of my cars have been new out-of-state purchases and neither came with plates. I drove down to pick up one and had to secure my own temporary transit plates, as Massachusetts couldn't/wouldn't provide temp plates for me. The other was delivered to my driveway with no plates, so it sat in the garage until I could register it.

I didn't drive without plates either time...and driving a Model X they probably have access to another vehicle to go get the registration, but who has the time?!
