The electric car company argues that the change would make cars more aerodynamic and boost fuel efficiency.

Tesla has joined an auto industry trade group in seeking government approval for the change. 

The announcement comes days after a ruling by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration requiring rear-view cameras in cars weighing less than 10,000 pounds by 2018.
