    Three years in and so far I still haven't been busted for no front plates on my Miata. I'm thinking of giving in and getting it installed before it is a problem, but I like having one little gesture of sticking it to the California Man. Take that Governor Moonbeam!

    I don't have a front plate on either of my cars. Never been busted for it. Even if I do get busted, it's just a few bucks, so who cares.

    "The service center is only accessible down a tight alley.."

    Are they trying to discourage owners from coming in for service? That seems like a poorly planned location.

    I'd imagine if you were to ask Tesla about cars coming in for service they'd insist, in a shrieking, paranoid voice, that no Tesla ever needed service and such rumors are a deliberate attempt to take them down.

    Just make sure the front plate mount doesn't block to tow hook cover.

    @fordson1 "Just make sure the front plate mount doesn't block to tow hook cover." ROFLMAO!! Man, that's cold.:)

    You could probably find some very nice aftermarket license plate frames somewhere online.

    @fordson1 I've been running around with my front plate ziptied to the front of my Miata for the last couple of years. :)

    When we picked up our Model S at the Hawthorne design center, the Tesla delivery specialist suggested the zip-tie approach as an alternative to drilling through the front bumper. I zip tied the frame to the lower grill section and then screwed on the license plate. Working like a champ thus far.

    Is there a bridge in that picture? Because the trolls are out in force today...
