NJ - a one tag (plate) state?

[hookah66]

I picked up my MY from Paramus Tesla Center and my car was delivered with only temporary paper tag in the rear. The front plate frame mount was in the trunk and I was instructed to come back with the tags (plates) once they are mailed to me directly from NJ DMV. I asked about NJ senate bill S2355 that was introduced March 21, 2022 "requiring MVC to issue one license plate instead of two", and no one at Tesla center was aware of that and that they are required to install two tags, one in front and one in back. However I have observed a large number of vehicles (late models) that don't have any front tags mounted on the roads here in Bergen Co, specially brand new Tesla without front plate but with rear NJ plate only. Can any NJ driver enlighten me on this. Last time I posted this I got a lot of speculative comments, but I am interested to hear from fellow NJ drivers who got their Tesla recently.

While it's the rule that we should have both front and back lic plates... it's not an offence that cops could stop and fine you..
if cop stops you for some other reason - like speeding or parking violation -- they can fine you for that PLUS this no front lic plate..
so lot of tesla's owners taking that risk..

thank you ... I thought so, i.e. do at my own risk.

"it is a custom more honour'd in the breach than the observance"




and keep the spare on in the trunk. Having it available got me out of a ticket once (in Texas)

It’s a $100 fine plus court appearance in Central NJ

I'd be ok with the $100 fine, but having to go into Central NJ would definitely be a deterrent

I only received 1 temp tag for my delivery in NJ last week. I am curious if I will get 1 plate or 2 as well due to the 2 plate rule. It is A shame to use a front plate it that is what the Quick Bandit is for.

always only ONE temp tag... mounted in rear.... real plates will be 2.

One temp plate but you’ll receive 2 plates. Most tesla owners seem to run just rear plates either because they don’t know how to mount it or don’t care for it. Unfortunately I drive through towns where cops can be…fussy so I ended putting mine on.

I have been driving with just rear plates for almost three years now, no problems so far. Most cops in NJ have bigger fish to fry.
However, if your breaking multiple moving violations at once, its a different story. Drive with situational awareness, you will be fine.

Been driving for 10+ years on 3 different cars and only had a cop stop me once, but just asked to put on the plate. I just ignored it...
