I find the whole "sounds just as loud as a gas fueled muscle car" to be hilarious. Wow, listen to the speakers on that car!

Yeah, just accept the fact that it doesn't make the same sound as a V8. Still looks cool.

The best thing about driving an EV is that it is very quiet.

Wonder how long the batteries will last if you drive this thing like a 70s muscle car

All their current lineup is very outdated. With that said, I watched a Charger Hellcat light'm up going down the interstate and it was one of the most amazing sounds I've ever heard.

Probably about as long as a tank of fuel last like a 70's muscle car

That’s thing got a hemi?

I just learned that Tesla owners aren’t required to mount front plates in the state of Iowa because the maker is a vain jackass and didn’t include a place. A bill that passed says if you need to modify your car you don’t need it but must carry it in your car.

Maybe I’m in the minority but I don’t like laws that don’t apply to everyone.

We just need to get rid of front plates anyhow. No police officer pulls you over and then walks around and looks at your front plate.

No car comes with a front license plate holder. They're installed by the dealership. So basically all new cars do not require a front plate?

What about when a crime is committed and all that is in view of the nearest is the front of the car? Hit and run or something like that.

Other states seem to have a way to handle it. Seems now everyone will whip out their phones and record it and let the injured people lay there while they record so there will probably be evidence on Facebook.

You’re definitely right, there are many states that don’t require it. I’d be for getting rid of the front plate altogether.

Registration plates issued for a motor vehicle other than an autocycle, motorcycle, motorized bicycle, or truck tractor shall be attached to the motor vehicle, one in the front and the other in the rear.

Yeah, I can see the argument for having them make at least a little sound (so pedestrians hear you coming), but this seemed pretty silly.

This is absolutely not true. All vehicles on the roadways registered in the state of Iowa are required to have front plates displayed. Teslas are provided with front plate holders that can be attached to the front fascia.

The front plate requirement should be removed, though. Its worthless and only serves to uglify cars. Every time a legislator tries to get rid of the requirement, the law enforcement lobbyists shut it down.

Did I jump to conclusions? This passed the senate but maybe not the house? https://www.legis.iowa.gov/legislation/BillBook?ga=89&ba=sf419 the section on the bottom address modifications needed to cars.

I would take electric over fossil fuel when it comes to power. Electricity will always be more powerful than fuel.
