I Ruined My Tesla | How to install the front license plate holder on a Tesla Model 3

My plates came in which unfortunately means that I need to attach my front license plate holder to the car. It ruins the look of the car IMO but it's better than a $75 ticket for not having a front plate.

    Get a removable one like Ottoplate or QuickBandit so you can clean behind it and a front bumper impact won't press the plate into the car.

    Not sure what state has it worst but as far as I know in California as long as the plate is visible in front it does need to be on the bumper I put my plate on the inside windshield. I'm not about to drill or stick anything on my bumper an ruin it payed to much to do that... been pulled over a few times an even had cops next to me they never say anything about it as long as they can see it they don't care..

    can you give me an recent update if you got a ticket for having a plate inside the windshield? I like in the bay area of CA in the city and i'm sure they won't let that slide.

    So it’s completely held up by the adhesive, correct? (It’s not hooked on the grill, correct?) It won’t fall off?

    Correct. It's what comes standard with the car. The adhesive is very solid.

    Yes. It’s very valuable. There should be no worries about it coming off once it’s applied

    If you applied vinyl under where the plate rests that could have saved the paint. In case you ever want to sell the car one day

    I live in Ohio and we don't require front license plates. Our front bumpers on cars look good with being plain or a decoration plate. Sorry that the state of Maryland you live requires 2. While neighboring Pennsylvania, West Virginia and Deleware don't require front license plates. I'm hoping one day Maryland will join other states in eliminating the front license plate requirement.

    I do t see that happening anytime soon. They only real benefit of front plates is that it gives you an extra chance to get a plate on the recording if someone does something stupid.

    Dang. Well I hope one day it'll happen soon. Cause Alaska just got rid of there front license plate requirement 4 months ago and hopefully more states will join. It saves the states money, not damaging people's vehicles drilling holes, better looks and less metal being created. With new technology officers still find other ways with cameras and lasers and still catch stupid people from the rear plate.
