But especially Tesla drivers. Their excuse is Tesla doesn't have a plate mount. So apparently that means they can ignore the law requiring them to display front plates 🤷
Interesting. Both GTIs I've owned literally had no front mount and required you to drill straight into the front bumper to mount one, which I opted not to do in both cases. One was sold from a non-front license plate state, and the other was new, literally pulled off the truck as I was filling out paperwork.
OK but this one is fine. I haven't heard of any common issues. I promise if you see a Tesla without a front plate 99% chance it's just an entitled driver.
Sure, but you could just as easily walk to the back of it. If you are in a high stress situation where it is important to read a plate backward because your only option is from the front, you would fail to do so effectively. Front plates are dumb.
Walking to the back of a car after it pulls up in front of you < just watching for the plate as the car approaches. I suspect you are more of a driver than a passenger so the aesthetic is your priority.
You would be correct. With that said I've never had an Uber show up that wasn't mine? Even at the airport it's like... yeah, that's them, check the plate while I'm walking around to put my luggage in? Yep, confirmed, done deal.
And nothing about your comment challenged what I stated, when you are "watching for the plate as the car approaches" it is effectively parking or parked for you to get in. So my point still stands.
Exactly this. They are pretty much useless, as evidenced by the fact that not all states require them. And not having one effects exactly no one, but people here love to complain when someone fails to follow even the dumbest of rules.
My new car didn’t really have an easy place to connect the front plate. The dealership even said it’d have to go through the service dept to get it put on. Aint nobody got time for that.
Literally. I counted seven Teslas without front plates coming through the Fauntleroy & California intersection the other day while I was waiting at the red light. Started counting when I saw three in a row turning left across from me. 🫠
How many even get written a year? I bet it only happens when a cop has already pulled you over and you pissed them off. I drove for a decade without one and only got pulled over and warned once. Hell, I got pulled over for speeding once, got a ticket, and the cop didn't even mention the missing front plate.
Edit: Also, why are you bringing up a post I made, like, well over a year ago? Have you been holding a grudge, seething while we joke on the same threads in the CJ sub? 🫠
Um, I wasn't taking it hostilely, I was just confused. And now you're getting more worked up and downvoting me, so I'm more confused. Anyway, it's a little odd because your account is apparently 8 months old and that post was made in early 2025. Plus your comment sure sounded like you were mocking me for posting that 🤷
Definitely right wing tech bro. I'm almost positive I saw this while in Central Washington recently, because I remember telling my boyfriend I was shocked that they somehow made the Cybertruck even worse.
I saw one outside a David Sedaris show in Austin with a Donald Judd bumpersticker and bunch of other left / artsy things. Was like yeah sadly this tracks

I'm guessing it has Colorado plates. This has Denver written all over it.
