Raptors already have tracking though, correct? At least with that case, the government doesn't have direct access to it. I'm just not following what the benefit of a digital license plate is. I get that it can report itself as stolen, but couldn't police already use Ford tracking and the Licence number to locate the vehicle?

It might be cool if you could change the background whenever you wanted, like RWB on the 4th, on Christmasy...whatever...but doesn't look like that's an option.
You can change the background and the messages at the bottom.

main reason other than I was bored, and mostly drunk when I ordered it, is the instantaneous reg update. No more waiting for the sticker in the mail. With this COVID shit. People are stealing plates and stickers to avoid the police from pulling them over or getting caught “peacefully protesting”

Would not touch with a ten foot pole.

But then again I'm the type of idiot who pulls the cellular modem fuse on his truck, runs a LineageOS-without-Google smartphone, and doesn't have any "smart" appliances on his network.

Not a luddite,but a software developer. Much less concerned about the gubmint than the dozens of companies involved in this crap with zero security. And even if you think the business/gubmint entity you're working with has "good" security....do the people they're selling your information to have the same? And did they just change their privacy policy AGAIN to say they can sell it to more people in new and exciting ways?

And yes, the CA DMV *does* sell your information.

That's interesting. I guess I'm not sure why you'd spend $500 plus $55/yr to have a digital plate?
