The Digital License Plate Explained - Reviver Auto 

Looking for a problem that doesn't exist.

There is absolutely no point to this whatsoever. They want $20 a month for something you don't need on top of all the other fees you have to pay the DMV

Does this allow the user to bypass CA HOV stickers and show some sort of symbol for CHP to recognize it's an HOV vehicle? Maybe a 2nd video on that would be nice...

So if you need a front license plate like you definitely doing California both plates will cost you $2,000 correct?

Not buying anything that wants me to pay monthly for a product, not a service

$24.95/month subscription here in Michigan now

It’s just under 1000 dollars... but... it’s “really cool” 😂 I really thought he would say something to justify the price tag.

These are a pain in the ass to install. Just did one on my company work van and had to run 45 ft of wire from the fuse block all the way through the wire loom and into the rear access door 😅

Eli, what about a front license plate? Are you exempt from having one in the front of the car in California? Thanks.

It’s really cool but too expensive. Prisoners will be out of a job 😅. Car manufacturers should build this thing right into the cars. It shouldn’t need more than some kind of electronic tag to link to DMV

The answer to a question that no one asked. A hugely expensive device to replace something that costs literally cents to manufacture. One rear-end collision and this overpriced thing is obliterated.. The car is burned or rolls into a lake, and when it's found the license number can no longer be read - vs. an embossed metal plate which remain legible for decades, even after a fire or being submerged underwater.

No front plate? I'm interested...but I'd wonder about getting constant tickets by San Diego meter maids for not having it on.

Definitely something that will never be found on my vehicles, short of being required by law. Just another money grab IMO.

This is pretty cool, I want one. But can I drive to an unsupported state? What if I wanted to drive to Montana?

As a license plate collector I hate this but if this becomes a mandatory thing for all states then my collection would be worth an insane amount of money

Are we still needing a front plate in California with these?

This came preinstalled on my Escalade and I’m not sure how I feel about it. GPS tracking features are great but the My Cadillac app already has that. Being able to display a website is great since I do black car service but I could easily pay $20 to get a custom license plate frame. I don’t understand why I have to pay a yearly subscription fee just so I can have the privilege to change the plates between light/dark plates. And I’m assuming that’s on top of registration fees for California. I’m wondering if after a year I can switch back to regular plates.

I'm curious will the price of tags and registration be cheaper? and it appears the inventor of this electronic tags and local registration office will benefit more than the tax payers and they will probably be making more money. they will allow advertisement.more revenue and a tracking device. I like the traditional metal plates better.

Just wait till they start tracking you with it and issuing fines for speeding, etc after they get GPS all figured out on it.

Out of All the days I search this video today and it’s the 5 year anniversary of this video

Yeah let's pay a bunch of money PLUS a subscription fee so police and our government can track us more easily! That's "cool".

I just recently add one to my car. I like the idea, I hope it really catches on. Some of these comments are really negative, which if you do like it just don't get one, it's that simple.

Getting mines tomorrow. So is it true, if you want to customize your actual license plate number, you can do it from the app?

I cant get a straight answer but isn't california a two license plate state? everywhere I look it only shows people installing one.

Does it show the state of charging at SuC that next divers know, when they can expect you back to unplug the BEV and free the stall.

I wonder if this could work in my country, especially where there is a shortage of black vehicle license registration plates in my country.

if it is a computer it can be hacked. i can see it now all of a sudden all the plates in cal change to a vulgar wording.

Pending in 28 states... 3yrs later only 3rd state just approved. 😂 This is a terrible business model for 24.99 per month for something that "looks cool".

I see the black and white contrast flashing and I already hate it from the video... I see it as nothing but a billboard

this makes future fake plates super easy!

"Been in development for over 10 years" translated means that it will be manufactured as cheaply as possible and sold for maximum profit to make up for the over 10 years in development. So, sub-standard parts and lots of problems. Expect software to appear that can hack these. That will be fun.

I'm sure hackers will take control and mess things up . This is gonna be a mess

I LOVE IT!!! I want one! I wish they would show it lit up at night as well as what their website talks about with some sort of white LED to the front. And for anyone interested, a lot of the info talked about in this video is no longer valid. For example, the prices have all come down. The purchase price is 600 bucks, installation is 200 bucks, and you pay 6 bucks a month to use it. Those numbers are off the top of my head after reading the website earlier, but anyone can Google it and look for themselves. One more thing about the plate: The guy in this video said it has 16 colors or something like that? Then he said it’s monochromatic. I’ll have to look it up to be certain, but doesn’t that mean black and white? And if it has 16 colors, why did they show everything in black and white? They really should yank this video because of the outdated information as well as some things that were clear as mud. Another thing: Yes, I know it has built-in FasTrak. That’s great for going over a bridge, but what about driving in the toll lanes here in the SF Bay Area? Interstate 580, 680, and others, now have the FasTrak lane and you have to have the newer transponder with a switch on it that you set yourself for 1, 2, or 3 people in the car. Depending upon where you put your switch on the FasTrak unit, that determines how much you pay if you even pay at all. They did not address this either, and it’s a HUGE omission. Last thing: On their website, it says that they now come to you to install it. You don’t have to visit a dealer far away somewhere. If the folks selling this new, awesome invention (like I said, I want one and I’ll tell my friends about it too) want to have clarity out here for us consumers, they really should take this video down and make a new one that has updated information. I just learned about this thing 10 minutes ago and I was able to list so many things that are wrong now. They should not want this video floating around out there. If I was the entrepreneur, I would have yanked this video the instant things changed. Free advice, my friends. I think you should pay attention to this. Thanks. And congrats on a great product! I’ll bet you’ve got outstanding margins on the item itself if it’s made overseas (which I’m sure it is). You probably don’t make much on installation, if anything at all. So your income is from sales and then a steady, monthly income from users who own the product. You’re going to be rich! That’s awesome! But please put up a new video with correct info.

I realize that a number of Tesla owners think they do not need to conform to state laws that require two license plates, since having a plate on the front is considered offensive by these special people. But just for the hell of it, how much does it cost to have two of these?

$700 and a fee of $7.00 monthly and your registration will not go down come on we live in CALIFORNIA yo bet it will only keep going up think about this we are taxed a $1.00 a gallon for gas and you know they have no shame they are going to ask for more : {

Any place in LA that sells and installs this ?

Really cool. Big brother will be tracking you though.

I got mine but for some reason it doesn’t light up like others 😢

How is it powered?

Can you get the covers in different colors. What happens when your license plate stops working or malfunctions, will I be liable should a police officer writes me a ticket ?. Is a payment plan available for the license plate.?

Can I remotely turn it off and on while dricing?

the prisoners at Folsom Prison makes the California plates for $0.25 an hour

You don’t have to have advertising it’s your choice

I needs the flapping last yr paper temp kind

Watched it and still don’t know why I would buy this

No mention on tracking, start, stop, duration, location, and who is tracking this info..

They just approved it in Michigan. It is not worth it. I am out.

Is it covered with the insurance if someone slams into your car and it breaks?

I don’t think advertising is a good idea, we don’t need drivers to be distracted because they’re reading ads instead of watching the road. Even if the car only displays ads when parked, there is potential for people still driving to notice the ad, and due to the fact that it’s on a license plate, they may be surprised and lose focus

Sounds like dystopian nightmare fuel

What problem does this solve? It even has Pro in the name. What is the difference between a professional waste of money and none professional waste of money?

I feel for the poor guy whose plate malfunctions and goes into "Stolen" mode. Enjoy the arrest, cavity search, and vehicle impound.

I live in a state where when your vehicle is not in service you have to turn in your plates which is crappy Nevada

And if i fully pay for my àuto, and i do not want it registered? I want my m.o.s. !

But you still need a plate for the front, no?

After I become Governor of California, CHP & DMV - The TAG - the Tandem Auto Gestapo, will be disbanded. Sheriff's Departments will receive the CHP budget. Annual renewal will end; expiration will not exist. One plate will be all that's required, & off-road machines will no longer be regulated, licensed, taxed, or etc. Cars not used will not require non-operation action or fee of any kind. Scanner, reader, sensor, & etc will end except for kidnapping cases. CHP are Armed Tax Collectors. CHP are Tow Truck Dispatchers for the Tan&Blue Revenue Crew. They're going to be defunded & disbanded, with the budget going to the Sheriff’s Department.

That is super cool! It could be useful if your car is stolen

Living your life vicariously through a car. *yaaaawn*

And this is exactly how California will be able to tax us per mile.

Very cool. What about states that require front plates like Commiefornia ?

Its $200 a year 4 year contract

So if the parked vehicle's plates are in the advertising mode, the car has no visible license number. Let's say a car involved in a crime has been described and its license number publicized; your car looks the same, but an onlooker can't see a license number and therefore assumes this is the crime car and you are the perpetrator. Swell.

But the big question is can I use it to watch finding Nemo when sitting in traffic

This saves companies money Not you. You have to pay a monthly subscription and you have to pay to have it installed or have to pay for a battery to run it every like 5 or so years. Under 1,000 dollars but you should get it because it's "cool". Also some states require both front and back plates so you still have to buy regular plates.

For advertising I would say that was a good thing for advertising in a bad neighborhood some Thief is going to see that as gold not to advertise with but because it's shiny and it does things for them like everybody they ran into the irony is another thief will be ready to steal it from them LOL

Congrats

They've already been hacked.

Does it come with one or two???

at a grand...be a fallin' off the shelves...nuts.

Awesome

So uhh what about Illinois 2 years later??

$800-$1k...I can see a shit load of these things being stolen alot.

Thats a great idea for the masked of us

Six years ago!

4 years later it’s finally legal on road

Nice corvette

And what I find interesting about those kind of places basically people cannot switch plates basically the numbers can't be changed off those plates and besides that that's also a fine if you get caught with different numbers on that plate because the numbers that are supposed to be on the plate are supposed to be on the same car you can't switch the numbers out and put them on different cars because that's a felony I do believe in that state

Stop fidgeting with your microphone.

I think this is really cool and futuristic. Sans the advertising on the digital plate, it's very functional. All of you people worried about being tracked by Big Brother: You're already being tracked. Might as well have some fun with it. \😄/

I want that UCLA bear

how much fid the maker of this pay to gaven nuesum? for getting the exclusive rights for this? to be legal it should be manf by at least four different company's.

Too expensive.

some is going to hack it and basically do anything with it

Can’t wait to pay 1 grand to be tracked by the police what a deal

Currently installing these plates, lots of features now and more coming soon, Rocco's Costa Mesa Ca. You don't have to be first, but do not be last to get them.

I guess you CAN sell ice to Eskimos.

If someone shoots it with a strong enough pellet gun 🔫 and damages the screen will you be issued another one or do you have to pay for another one just imagine if it keeps getting shot at ☕

Also offered in Canada, they're glorifying this little too much.. a little overboard. I'm sorry but this raises an eyebrow for me. Isn't digital but we want to stay away from?

Good for you I’ll get you a cookie........

The moment he compared it to the worst device out there...iPad, lost interest. thanks dude just saved me a headache, I was literally about to purchase this for my 2022 bmw 4 series

48x 30$ a month it’s stupid , metal plates are fine, 1500$ wtf fuc& them

l'll stick with my old fashioned aluminum plate any day...

Not a necessity and pretty expensive but I can see the benefits. 👍

why

Why in the hell are so many folks obsessed with the idea of constant spending!?!?! Absolutely insane idea for anyone to pay monthly fees for a license! From what I can find online today, initial purchase and install is roughly $400, then depending on the state monthly fees will run $20-25. Folks really have to be brain dead to volunteer for this garbage!

In other words its a TRACKING DEVICE !!!!!!! WHAT ELSE ARE THEY "INSTALLING" AT THE DEALERSHIP !?!?!?!

yeah so they can track you better

Cool I want those ones ..

Not everything needs to be digital.. What's next? Digital forks??

Hmmm... not sold. I think I'll stick with the tried and true metal license plates -- no technical support necessary and I wouldn't need to fork out $700.
