California Exhausts 46-Year License Plate Sequence, Switching to Mirrored Format

California has officially exhausted its standard license plate sequence, which began in 1980, and is transitioning to a new format. The previous system, consisting of one number, three letters, and three numbers, reached its final combination, 9ZZZ999, earlier this year. The state is now introducing a 'mirrored' configuration of three numbers, three letters, and one number. While new plates are being produced, over 110,000 old-format plates remain in storage for issuance. The change is expected to last 40 years, with manufacturing continuing at Folsom State Prison.

Tesla Challenges DMV Over Autopilot Advertising Decision

Tesla has filed a California lawsuit to overturn a DMV ruling that labeled its Autopilot and Full Self-Driving labels as false advertising. The company had already adjusted branding—removing Autopilot from some listings and converting FSD to a subscription—while contending the names aren’t unambiguously false and that consumers understand their meaning. The DMV said it did not suspend Tesla’s license after the changes, but Tesla argues it didn’t receive due process in the hearings, highlighting the broader debate over how ADAS features are marketed in California.
