What's that ugly orange rectangular thing on the front bumper? Seriously ... Yuck. I'll continue to pay the occasional $40-50 ticket before doing that.

Yeah the "Empire Gold" (orange) plates were brought back as the NY standard plate a few years ago. Our car still has the old white plates with blue letters/numbers. There are custom "picture plates" that you can buy for NY that look much better but if you want to get personalized vanity plates you only have 6 characters on the picture plate or 8 characters on the orange plates. I'm hoping they look less horrible on the Blue X. If not, I'll probably go with picture plates.

You crack me up, ohmman. But personally I prefer Lenox.

I spotted my first one in the wild today! Sig red, exiting the eastbound 91 behind me. I slowed down a lot to get a look.
I also hope I didn't freak out the driver by slowing down and gawking (and maybe pointing and shouting "YES" through the closed windows of my car).
I don't even have a production order (yet), but soon. And we all know what "soon" means on this forum...

She had a look on her face like that mirrored the extreme caution of her driving. My exuberance from the driver's seat of my electric smart was probably not much comfort to her.

Actually that shot of the X with the plate gives me a little hope. I thought it would be atrocious with one but (all considering) that's not that bad looking. Maybe because it's a NY plate with it's non-traditional color but that's not nearly as bad as I assumed it would be.
You must have had a really nasty image in your head, because to me that looks terrible. Completely messes with the lines of the front bumper.
Orange aside, I don't think it looks that bad. I'd guess that for some people uncomfortable with the non-traditional empty space where a grille would normally be, it probably makes them less so.
As for me, I'd like to see what it looks like on a Titanium X. I'll probably risk a warning or ticket for a while and then put it on. I have MA EV plates so I like that they inform people that it's an EV from both the front and back.

Last night saw a Titanium Model X traveling south on Crenshaw Blvd, south of SpaceX. It already had a California license plate and it wasn't a mfr plate. Too dark to get pictures, but it really looked nice. I also didn't see if it had a front plate.
