Currently DMV is backed up due to covid and demand /w new & used car sales. I didn't get mine for about 2 months in northeast last year. And I heard local government extended temporary license plate to last 3 month due to covid.

check /w your dealer and/or local government. while doing that, enjoy plate-less trim. ;)

Things are crazy slow in some segments so as long as your plates are not expiring, I would just be patient and wait.

Oh yeah, I know!
My temp plate is expiring in 7 days. Might need to get an extension.

Also remember, if you have no lien holder, the process is faster. I bought my car in OH and shipped to CA, OH had to create the title, send it to the lien holder. CA now requires the title before they will provide the plates and Reg tag. The lien holder had to send to CA DMV, once received, DMV contacted me and I was able to complete the Reg process. It took 6 weeks with me constantly contacting the lien holder to send the title to DMV. It took 4 weeks once lien holder received the title from OH.

Thanks, but we are not interested in non-drama success stories. ;)

Got mine in three weeks. No loan on car and a small county where you are always taken care of.

Had a very similar issue because it was not recognized as a Toyota because of the Euro vin. Dealership made a call to whomever does the titles and it was all straightened out quickly.

Im in Texas also, i bought mine on 5/31 and received my plates in a week and a half. I was surprised because thats the quickest ive ever received plates. Most likely an issue with the dealer.
