Here in Vermont, the cruisers have plate readers and I tried to go without a plate on my A7. The state police nabbed me within a week. With our Model X, it was shipped to us (no service "delivery experience") without a bracket. The salesman questioned my contention that there was no bracket with the car. Finally sent one after almost a month with no instructions on how to mount it. Leaves the impression that once you take possession, you are on your own. First and last Tesla purchase.
