the newer cars are delivered with front plate brackets installed and the older cars can have plates mounted by drilling the nose cone. there are a few aftermarket solutions that use "temporary" mounts. search around for more info.So I live in a state that requires a front license plate.....Ugh?

that front bracket is easily removed, there is a tool that works well, the service centers used to remove them on request but I don't know if that is still done.My 2017 MS has a front plate mounting frame. In FL, we do not require front plates. I put in a cool Tesla plate just to make it look good. If you do not have a spot to mount the plate, is there a way to use the tow hook socket? I have an Aston Martin with no front plate mount. They make a bracket that attaches into this socket for mounting front plates. Not sure if that would work on your model year??
This. Maybe look up the cost of the fine in your state, but to me it's worth the (low) risk of a ~$70 ticket. They're legally required here, but it is extremely common to see luxury/sports cars going without.Do they actively enforce/charge fees for the rule? I'd keep it in the trunk.
Do you have a front bracket from Tesla?The fee is up to 200 bucks in Texas. There was a brief period of time where due to a loophole in legislation no monetary penalty/fee was associated with not having a license plate in front. You could only get a warning when pulled over (I know because it happened to me in my brand new red car on my way from Houston - the police officer helped to explain it).
This loophole has been fixed ever since: Texas Law Change: $200 Fine for No Front License Plate

usually interactions with the coppers are without incident but in this day and age, giving the cops any reason to interact with you could morph into other issues. when my children were young (cops love to harass teens) I was fastidious in teaching them to never give a cop a reason to stop them. tail lights, headlights, things like that were in good working order and they, as much as they could, followed the regs.In Texas, I would say I've seen less than 50% with a front plate. I always look because I have no plate and I feel a little guilty about it.
I've been pulled over once for not having a front plate, and that was within a mile of the Victoria, TX supercharger. It was pretty clear that the young officer just wanted to look at the car. We spent more time talking about the car, its range, and the supercharger network than we did about the infraction. I was given a verbal warning and let go with no citation whatsoever.

This is what I use. It's extremely well made and is really the best available solution if you want to avoid drilling any holes in your car. Of course, as the best available solution, it's priced accordingly.
