Nio San Jose CA visit December 2021

Today I visited Nio's San Jose location. Unfortunately, due to Covid, their vehicles weren't on display. I couldn't even go into the lobby. I saw the ES8 through heavy fencing out back. They did give a nice sticker to me though. I'll have to go back another time to see the cars.

These vehicles have yet to be homologated or certified for operation on U.S. roads, and therefore have been licensed illegally. If anyone knows otherwise, tell us how it was done.

It has a manafacturing licence plate. It's not been released to public, but there is some sort of agreement between Nio, DMV, and government that allows these vehicles in US roads.

For example, the first picture is of a lucid air. It is owned by somebody who works for lucid. That car was unreleased at the time of the picture was taken.

So this way of registering cars using MFG plates is legal.

Another example is the Imperium SEV. Before it was approved for US roads, it had this MFG plate.

Imperium couldn't sell this to the public, but they were able to legally use it as a company car.

I suppose the illegal plates would have been detained by the police. That's why they drive without a problem.
I'm more concerned with this question: is it possible to drive a car that has not been officially presented? Or is that a silly question?

This is another question that can be answered by MFG plates. However, your thinking of mule cars. Mule cars are vehicles testing that aren't ready to be revealed to the public. So it is legal to drive mule cars that have not been officially presented. These cars almost always have Michigan MFG plates, but some test mules have California MFG plates too.

Take this recent Motor1 article for example. This new Ford Explorer ST has been spied for the first time. The public has never seen this car before. You can see it has a licence plate too.

To directly answer your question, yes, it is possible to drive a car that has not been officially presented.
