Many teslas in Illinois do not have their front plates. It is the law here and when I questioned an officer about enforcement, he stated, “It will just get tossed out.” That and police hate doing their jobs.
I live in Wisconsin and it’s the same here. I don’t have one on the front of my car cause I would have to drill holes in mine to install one (no idea why it didn’t come with a place for one already setup, it’s originally from Illinois), but also I only drive rarely and when I essentially have to, or in the winter because my local bike infrastructure is seasonal. Never had any issue with it.

You should look into studded bike tires. I was in a similar situation but figured out how to ride in the winter even in my town that completely half asses snow removal. Sold my car and started using uber/lyft and an hourly car rental service (zipcar) to fill in the gaps. I’ve saved thousands of dollars in no time and now I don’t have to maintain a car anymore.
Kind of funny to see, “only” used to describe 3/5 of a whole. That’s most states, though even the ones that do require it rarely use it as more than a pretense for a stop.
Only 29 US states require a front plate
Illinois, where this pic is from, is one of those states! Maybe this car is from out of town

Oh that’s interesting, thank you. I’d never heard of those before.
Likely. Several states that don’t require front plates border Illinois
