    Front Plate Bracket?

    My 2013 had no front plate bracket and no front plate required in PA. Just took delivery of my 2016 Model S and saw an ugly front plate on the bumper. Is this something new? On the 2013 models you had to drill a bracket into the nose cone. I wonder if this bracket comes off with no scars...
