Tesla is not without problems. Poor drive quality. After spending 40K+ for the car, I was cited for not having front number plate. I had to figure out how to tape the frame, spend more time appearing in court. I prefer not doing such things than having automatic s/w update for fine tuning fart noise.

You're blaming Tesla because you didn't use the front license plate holder that they give you, ready to go?

[sagondis]

why did they put it in the trunk when all other car dealers fix it and give ? And why do you see 80% of Tesla'a on the road without the front number plates ? Also if you put the number plate it may not reach their advertised 0-100 mile in 3.x seconds ?

Because a lot of people like to leave it off, especially on expensive cars, not exclusive to Tesla. It looks better and the chances of getting a ticket are actually pretty low. There are plenty of people who've driven around without a front plate for many years without getting cited, and it usually just a fix-it ticket without a big penalty. It's not generally because people are ignorant of the law. And it's not required everywhere either.

I’m happy they left it up to the customer to put the front plate on. It makes the car look worse and I’ll accept the risk of a citation.
