'Heavy Truck' License Plates?

[thebwk]

I am communicating with my guide for my R1S delivery next Saturday and he is informing me that I cannot transfer my Wisconsin Road America plates because they are not approved for 'heavy trucks' in Wisconsin. Can anyone else in this group confirm this is true? I swear I've seen a R1T in the Milwaukee area that has RA plates, and I really want to keep mine!

Thanks,
Ben

I would suggest that you take over registration, ie have rivian send you the MSO & sales receipt. That's what i did so i could keep my plates, i'm in oregon so ymmv.

I can’t speak for your state, but in CT I wasn’t able to transfer my existing plates because my R1T exceeds the GVWR threshold that then requires me to get a ‘combo’ plate. Perhaps Wisconsin has something similar?

Looks like Oregon limit is 10k lbs and Wisconsin is 8k lbs.

I just let Rivian register my vehicle in CA, I got the plates in 7 days and the title in 10 days. I then went to AAA who does DMV services in CA to transfer my old plate to the R1S. I did not want to muck up the process having them try to do it.

Was easy and painless then you can have your DMV let you know if you can transfer it.
