Just caught an advert for this in my feed elsewhere.
This thing is surreal. Only 350 bucks and 3-8 bucks a month forever, and you can... have a plate. But only in CA or AZ.
This thing clearly is for the tech bros who have a lot of fuck you money from an IPO and want to show it off in a way that doesn’t involve a website or sharing social media.
I did want a way to tactfully communicate with my fellow commuters on a trip for various reasons, but not like this. Not like this.

Why the hell would you try and complicate a flat-ish sheet of metal?
Oh no I’m old now.

Don’t forget to add the $99 optional “white glove” installation!

This is only inviting random passersby to hack it, steal steal registration data, or simply kick it off the car for shits and giggles.

I must be an old too, because this is pants-on-head stupid.

This felt extremely stupid to me (and mainly like an attempt to eventually force people into getting an expensive plate because it would save the DMV a tiny amount of money).
Arstechnica did a review last summer: Would you pay $700, plus a monthly fee, for a digital license plate?
