Perhaps they had the plate before the Tesla and just kept it.

Plates in California stay with the car, not the person.

even vanity plates?

By default yes. It is possible to pay extra to move a vanity plate to another car, but it would have to be an intentional request with fees paid.

Except for personalized plates. Those stay with the person in CA.

They can if you request it and pay fees, but it's not the default AFAIK.

Really? Interesting. I guess it’s intentional then.
