I was told by the sales person that after a vehicle is sold and before it is delivered to the customer, they install the Tesla provided adhesive bracket on the front of the car since Colorado state law requires a front plate. It has three, double sided adhesive strips that are said to be sticky enough to hold the bracket securely on the front of the vehicle. I stopped by the Tesla dealership in Park Meadows and the salesperson told me all new cars delivered to the store come with a front license plate holder in a bag in the trunk of the car. Those fears are unfounded when the plate bracket is installed correctly as the front radar is located higher than the front plate bracket in the middle of the nose. A few owners claimed the front plate interfered with Tesla’s auto-pilot self-driving feature. Another large group says they don’t want to go through the hassle of installing a special bracket to affix a front license plate to the car or don’t want to use the current stick-on bracket. After you read this story, you too will be noticing them too all over town.Īfter reading through several online Tesla blog sites and fan sites, it seems most drivers think their car looks better without the front plate, regardless if their state requires it or not. I too see so many Teslas and other newer vehicles of all makes without a front plate. No, Frank, drivers of Teslas and Audis and Cadillacs and Lamborghinis and every other car in Colorado - fancy or not - are not exempt from the state requirement of having a front license plate. Frank from Golden writes, “What’s driving you crazy? What’s up with Tesla drivers not having a front license plate? Are they exempt from that requirement? I have never seen a Tesla with front plates!”
