It could be a bought-out-of-state issue?
Two of my cars have been new out-of-state purchases and neither came with plates. I drove down to pick up one and had to secure my own temporary transit plates, as Massachusetts couldn't/wouldn't provide temp plates for me. The other was delivered to my driveway with no plates, so it sat in the garage until I could register it.
I didn't drive without plates either time...and driving a Model X they probably have access to another vehicle to go get the registration, but who has the time?!

I was loaned a Model X when I went in for service a few years back. It was...fine. Didn't help that it had all season tires and it was snowing.
I honestly didn't care for it compared to the 3...you can feel how much heavier it is, even with all the power. Falcon wing doors were interesting, but I don't have a need for them.
I did enjoy showing a friend the light show, though.

One of the big problems is Adaptive Headlights haven't been legal in the US until recently, so while the European version of these cars have had the technology for decades to shine brightly without blinding oncoming traffic, we haven't been allowed to use them.
