200k miles in Hawaii? Wow!!After 5 years and almost 200k miles. I finally got cited for no front plate in Hawaii. $70 ticket.
Thank you. My Tesla is a lease which is one reason I'm hesitant to drill holes into it. Also, if most officers are not pulling cars over due to a missing front plate I'd rather take the chance. I can see parking enforcement ticketing cars without plates (especially in DC). But, I rarely part on streets. My office is private parking and most areas I go all have private parking. I many chance it and leave the plate off the front.I'm in VA too.
The original front plate holder that came with my car had double sided tape on the back of it. They left it up to me to install it or not.
I bought one of these instead: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B08FRLH3TM . It works well.
For myself, I don't have a big issue and have my front plate always on. But they do increase drag, reducing energy usage per mile a bit.What is the big objection with complying with a lawful requirement of placing a license plate on the front of your vehicle?
Same here. NJ / NY hopefully we don’t jinx itBeen driving around for 1 year in MYP with no front plate and never been stopped. Before that in my Bimmer and not stopped either. Live in NJ. Guess it depends if the cop wants to use that as a reason to check on you.

I live in California. As I understand it, they can only issue a citation if you park on a public street, or if you are pulled over for another reason. They can't issue you a citation in a private parking lot. I've had Tesla's since early 2013, all without front license plates, and haven't had any issues.If you live in a state where a front plate is required, have you been pulled over by an officer for not having it on? I'm in Virginia where front plates are required, but I see about 50/50 Teslas with front plates. Wanted to gauge if anyone has been pulled over by an officer for not having the plate. Thanks!
Thank you for all the responses. I have yet to hear anyone have the experience of being pulled over just due to lack of a front plate in Virginia. Figured I'd ask. I have two friends who own Teslas and the dealership near us does not put the plate on upon pick up. It's up to the owner. Since this is a lease I do not want to drill holes into the bumper.
Because it detracts from the look of the car. I have the Quick Bandit. It’s the best of both worlds. Easy to take on and off for washing or detailing. No holes in the bumper or double sided tape to mar the paint. Sometimes I forget to put it back on but I’ve never had any issues with getting pulled over or ticketed while parked.What is the big objection with complying with a lawful requirement of placing a license plate on the front of your vehicle?
Do you also complain that the headlights or turn signals detract from the look of the vehicle? How about the rear license plate? Might as well remove that, too.Because it detracts from the look of the car. I have the Quick Bandit. It’s the best of both worlds. Easy to take on and off for washing or detailing.
