With my car it took 4 weeks for my number plates to arrive, but in the meantime I had the red temporary plates and was never stopped.
When you buy a used car you get a new plate?
I thought your car had Krungthep on the plate, rather than Chonburi. But perhaps I was looking at the wrong car. I would have expected Chonburi residents to get Chonburi plates, but how does it work?
As for the Ferrari, well I saw it a year ago and again recently, both times with no plates. Well, perhaps 2 different cars, but I doubt it.

electric motorbikes are rapidly gaining in popularity. I'm thinking about getting one myself for local errands, although I have not yet investigated how far they can go when charged, whether they can be charged on home electric currents, or how much to expect your electric bill to increase.
I used one of these in Bagan, Myanmar for 3 days. It was some Chinese brand. The hotel gave it to me ready charged every morning and the charge indicator barely moved, despite doing over 30km per day.
So some are capable of doing more than enough distance for local errands. I'd still want a safety margin, as the range will deteriorate in time.
Not having a motorcycle license, I usually don't hire motorcycles.
However, on my way into Bagan I'd noticed two things:
1 Some of the tracks had loose sand and I know cycling on that can be a miserable experience
2 There was very little traffic on the roads and even less on the tracks
So I made an exception and really enjoyed my time there. I wouldn't visit at the moment.
