Reply to comment by kaiser1025 in Bought an 07 Scion, already had plate. Totalled on highway 8 days later; at-fault, no health ins. Basic auto ins. No emergency fund. Commute is 60mins by car. 51 of 53 miles are highway by [deleted]

If you already have a plate, you should be able to have it assigned to the new car. But this is immaterial if the car is totaled. A car doesn’t need to be registered to “exist” (which is won’t for much longer anyway); it needs to be registered for you to drive it on public roads. Which you can no longer do.
