My guess is that the state stickers are simply a convenient way to refer to each pre-production vehicle without having to memorize license plates. I’d bet most have never been in the state whose sticker they bear.
I believe you are correct minus memorizing the tag...ALL of the tags are "132". Which 132 are you referring to? Instead, "Who is driving Texas today?"

Are there ANY DECENT PHOTOS of what Launch Green really looks like? There are so many threads where photos of Forest Green in other than direct lighting get mistaken for LG. I mean its actually nice that FG has such a range of shading / metallic depending on lighting. I'd just like to see a for-sure Launch Green truck from a few angles, and different illumination to make a selection decision.

This screen shot from a promo video is the only one I have that i THINK is Launch Green color.
Would like to see it outside instead of becoming a sacrificial lamb!

I attended the open house in Normal and saw Forest Green in person......this one is Launch Green regardless of the lighting.

That definitely isn’t Forest Green, but we’ve heard of a factory primer that is very similar to that pictured. So it could be this is launch green... or it could just be a vehicle in the primer paint.

That has been my assumption, that the crash test vehicle is just the primer.

^^ well, if that is just primer (which makes perfect sense) then it's the closest that I've seen representing the "look" of what Launch Green could be.

Wow so you're saying the OP photo of R1T spotted in the wild is really the Launch Green paint!
If so, then I'm 110% sure that going with LG is the right move for me :)

Anyone notice the different looking charge port door?
You mean the one in the video with the door frame but not the "skin"?

Or do you mean these pics that reveal a completely new hinge mechanism?

I was referring to the honeycomb looking print on it.
Notice you can see through the honeycomb? It is the "door frame", not a print.
