Iowa anyone?

Iowa Tesla Owner's Club is having a meetup this Saturday, 7/2 from 1-4p at The Hall DSM (in Valley Junction). As an honorary past member, I told them I'd bring my Rivian to show off and invite others. If anyone is around, stop by for a beer and bring your R1T if you have it. Would be cool to have a couple of us there!

Wished I knew who to contact in Omaha for some similar type meeting.

Hey all, curious if anyone else has seen or looked into this latest (2021) front license plate law in Iowa. Check this link out, the good facts start on line 28 on the first page. Makes it sound like we don't need a front plate since we'd have to drill or use adhesive to put the front plates on.

https://www.legis.iowa.gov/legislation/BillBook?ga=89&ba=sf419

The truck comes with a mounting bracket for the front and I was planning on trying gorilla double sided tape to make it stick rather than drilling. Now I'm thinking I'll just keep the front plate in the frunk and whip it out when needed. I haven't passed the BAR though either so who knows if I'm reading this right..

Solid find. I'm planning to not attach one in the front.

That bill has not passed and is therefore not law. Would be nice though. Honestly, I'm planning to leave mine off as I figure troopers will tend to ignore a truck.

According to this the bill passed: https://www.kmaland.com/news/iowa-s...cle_2d946aee-81c1-11eb-9259-eba70bd37a4d.html

Dang. Only passed the senate so far.

"The bill now heads to the House for consideration."

Hope they move it forward.

Saw this on another thread. Front license bracket on tow hook.

The Senate passed it, but not the House. Check the last sentence: " The bill now heads to the House for consideration. "


...edit - @travbz814 beat me to it

I saw someone had made a custom one also. I think I'll just keep my $80 and zip tie the bracket to the tow hook.

Any updates?

Any updates?

It's supposedly getting shipped to KC service center. Their body shop has more availability to fix the paint defects sooner. Haven't heard anything in about a week.

Pickup tomorrow at KC Service Center
