Here as a buyer I can just throw my old cars plates on it for up to 14 days prior to registration, all you need is insurance. Nothing similar in NY?

I think the release process takes several hours (we will find out) according to the truck drivers they can waste most of their day waiting for the cars to come out of the port.
As for driving on public roads and insurance, registration on old plates...I'm not sure. I left that part of the process to my BIL to sort out, he's a clever guy, but this is new territory for both of us. We're still hoping that the DMV will register the truck without too many snags.
