Half my town would be flagged. I rarely see them on Teslas as well as pretty much any luxury car out there. It's ridiculous.If I got a ticket I would tell the officer to stand with me and wave down every Tesla that doesn't have a license plate on the front and issue fines to all those drivers as well. It's should either be strictly enforced or not at all. You can't pick and choose who to fine and it's clear it's not strictly enforced in CA purely for the fact that 80%+ of Tesla's I see on the road don't have the front license plate installed
Yeah, good luck with that strategy! I agree a lot of cars don't have front plates and as I said earlier, I drove all my Porsches without a front plate and only got the "fix-it" ticket one time while parked in a parking lot in Santa Barbara about 20 years ago. All of that said, I did go ahead and install the LPW on the front of the car. Its just not worth the hassle if/when I have to deal with it later.If I got a ticket I would tell the officer to stand with me and wave down every Tesla that doesn't have a license plate on the front and issue fines to all those drivers as well.

It honestly doesn't look that bad, much better than a mountYeah, good luck with that strategy!

Ha Ha!! In any case, I need the actual rear plate and mount because I also have the "11-99 Foundation" license plate frame. But I agree, the LPW doesn't look bad at all and obviously doesn't affect the aerodynamics.Just thought about this...could you replace the rear plate also?
I'm guessing the LPW is stuck on top of the PPF?Yeah, good luck with that strategy!

Yes.I'm guessing the LPW is stuck on top of the PPF?
Nope...just can't do it..and anyway there's a perverse thrill to being fugitiveIt honestly doesn't look that bad, much better than a mount
Yeah, this seems like the way I'm going to be going as well. The front end is gorgeous and I don't want to ruin it with a plate.
The only thing I'm slightly worried about is that this car really turns heads. Whereas a cop may not give a Tesla a second glance, I'm not so sure I'd get the same level of...visual apathy,
I'm surprised no owner has reported a speeding ticket yet...I've been in San Diego for 7+ years driving with no front plate. Lucid has 3000 miles and counting.... You are way more likely to get pulled over for speeding in this car and the plate ticket will be an add on. Just look around at the number of cars with no front plate.
I agree. the front plate just ruins the look.Been driving without front plate for 20yrs, been lucky. I even had couple of speeding tickets and thought the cop would just do me the front plate violations also but again been lucky. So I am keeping my faith on lady luck. Like others said the Teslas around are making no front plate the norm.
The truth is the lucid is so beautiful anything in the front just ruin the looks for me.
I do like the look without the front plate better but I do think it looks okay with the LPW. I know I will eventually get pulled over because I constantly find myself driving faster than necessary and more often "competing" with other fast cars that pull up alongside and want to go. So I need every break I can get and hopefully with the 11-99 Foundation on the rear and the "Honoring Veterans" and Army Logo on the front, perhaps the officer will cut me some slack. That is the primary reason I've put it on. Hopefully I'll learn to restrain myself and grow up soon but its just so hard with this car!!I agree. the front plate just ruins the look.
I think the Black with yellow lettering will look really good.I wonder how a black LPW would look on a black lucid
