I'm not sure which wires @mr_x100d. But, they did fix the problem completely. They also transferred the clamps to the new MCU after a swap last month due to a daughterboard failure. Here is a screenshot of the repair for the audio system.

I trust the TMC forum members as a reliable starting point. Our hope is to work with a current M3 owner who is considering a trade-in. But, you're right, Tesla inventory cars make sense and would be a safe bet.

Looking for one clean, 1-owner Model 3 Dual Motor (not performance) for our niece. Flexible on color. Must be AWD. Will travel to your specified location for pickup. If you are still waiting to take delivery of a new car, we are willing to wait until your new car is ready for delivery. Cash...

Yes, I am experienced in the use of plastics on automobiles. Either way, though, I think it's cool that you made your own part using a 3D plastic printer. We've seen several other Tesla owners make some plastic gadgets as well.

Hmmm. My Tesla has NO parts made using a 3D plastic printer. The Bandit, from what I can tell, is made from a stronger plastic material and cut using a special CNC router.

Just looked at the product link you provided in your post. Are you making SnapPlate out of plastic using a 3D printer?

Just don't stick that 3M tape that comes with the black plastic stock bracket on your front bumper if you have PPF or ceramic coating. Those don't play well together at all. :(

Slipstream Bracket (protected all-metal front license plate mount) for Model 3 and Model X are shipping now. A new version for Model Y is coming in a few weeks. Be sure to use discount code TMC15 to get your discount. IMPORTANT: The Model 3 version will NOT fit the Model Y. The bumper and...

Slipstream Bracket is the only one that's NOT plastic. It was designed in Colorado and holds up perfectly in sub-zero temperatures - doesn't become brittle at all. It's made out of rust-proof material (aluminum and stainless steel) that is not affected by road salts, gravel and mag chloride...

Very helpful information. Thank you!

Why do you think this is the case? Toured Superior last Sunday and everything appears to be up and running. We're supposed to take delivery at the Superior location. No VIN yet.

I respect your opinion concerning various "solutions" for displaying a front license plate on a Tesla. However, for others who read this post, the claims you make are not accurate. The bracket from ThatGrin does NOT mount directly to the plastic veins as you claim. The unit has two arms that...

Have you tried running in the "Low" suspension setting? Seemed to greatly reduce shudder and, after 16K miles, no noticeable abnormal tire wear.

Tesla must be the preferred EV of the islands. LOTS of shipments going to Hawaii in the past several weeks! With FREE Priority shipping from Colorado, your Slipstream Bracket should be delivered in 3 days. BTW, awesome looking P3D+!

I don't have the specific links handy, but I've read about it in multiple threads. It makes sense to me because the efficiency of the Tesla drivetrain is very dependent upon keeping those batteries and motors cool. I'm not aware of any short-term damage anyone has experienced (other than the...

Blocks 40% of the air intake. Short term probably okay. Long-term efficiency, reliability and warranty of the EV drivetrain could definitely be a problem.

I've heard that the 3M adhesive tape is very sticky and permanent if the surface application is clean and without paint protection film. You get one shot with those stick-on plate holders. For those looking to remove it, most detail shops that apply paint protection film to the front bumper...

Interesting! Did you test drive a M3 or MS? I've only seen adhesive type in black plastic for Model 3.

Yes, of course! I expect to have a working Slipstream Bracket for Model S late February 2019. Please visit ThatGrin.com | Contact to provide your email address. We’ll contact you as soon as the first units are ready to ship. Thanks for your interest in the Slipstream Bracket and for your support.

Lots of different options for aftermarket license plate installations available. My "pop on, pop off" solution is the new Slipstream Bracket for Model X. It holds on tight with NO adhesives, NO holes, NO magnets and NO drilling. Other than the included security key you use to lock it into...

IMO, you hit the nail on the head! It's a revenue source.

Here's an option worth looking at: The Slipstream Bracket for Model 3 requires NO adhesives, NO holes, NO magnets and it installs securely in about 2-3 minutes. Really easy! It allows full, unobstructed airflow into the cool air intakes and it directs wind force, vibration and road shock away...

For sure! :)

Yah, 600 suction cups - not for me. Not on the front end of my $60,000.00 Tesla. BTW, I like the Titanium Silver Metallic. A real keeper!

I tried the suction cups. They're fine, but those degrade over time and don't hold very well when dirty. May want to check out the Slipstream Bracket. It works better because it doesn't require drilling, sticky tape or lots of tools to put it on.

Haha! Actually, yes they will if you live in the Denver area! After the TMC Forum Member discount, the total cost is $136 including priority shipping. It does cost a bit more than a bent piece of plastic with sticky tape, toggle bolts from Home Depot or a bracket that also fits a Ford or a...

Yes. The OEM bracket would have to come off in order to have PPF installed properly. Those guys are experienced with putting the adhesive backed brackets on correctly. Be sure to have them do your headlights and driving lights if you have it done. Those plastic parts take a beating.

None that I can think of. The factory bracket for Model S is, by far, the best of the three models. X and 3 are not nearly as nice. The Model S bracket should work fine if you don't plan to ever remove it.

No worries. I appreciate your perspective with regard to stick-on plastic license plate holders and your experience of owning a body shop. I certainly do not take your opinion as an insult to this product. For those who may not know, all three currently available Tesla models vary greatly in...

Model X requires drilling. Model 3 uses tape.

Factory bracket can NOT be removed and installed on demand - it's an eyesore and is always there unless you want to keep prying it off and replacing the tape every time. Plus, the factory adhesive doesn't always hold unless the contours are perfect (which they are not on every car). Some...

The three key selling points of the Slipstream Bracket from TheTeslaGrin.com are: 1) NO drilling, NO holes, NO adhesives and NO magnets 2) Does NOT block the critical cold air intake 3) Patent Pending dual fulcrum design directs force and vibration away from the delicate plastic grille The...

At this time, the next Slipstream Bracket to be released will be made available for the post facelift Model S with another version coming for the classic nosecone front end in the future.

I don't see it in your car photo. Is it one of those that is clear off to the side?

Yah, same here in Colorado. The meter maids are notorious for writing tickets. Now they're doing it at the airport when you enter. Those new license plate recognition cameras are popping up all over. I hate the thought of having to pay a $100 ticket and not have anything to show for it. I...

There was also a 15% off discount code for TMC members here.

How much can I expect to pay for PPF on the front bumper of a Model 3?

Nothing necessarily "wrong" with the plastic stick-on piece that comes with the car. It just doesn't give you the flexibility to attach it when needed and remove it when desired (like for car washes, cars with paint protection film, etc.) The Slipstream Bracket is different from the other...

Check out the Slipstream Bracket™ NO-drilling, NO-holes and NO-adhesives front license plate mounting solution. It is a quick-release product that locks securely into place using a single included L-key tool. It does not block any part of the air intake and has a built-in mechanism designed to...

I've spent a lot of time in the OC over the past several years and have noticed the same. And the degree of law enforcement does vary significantly across the country. However, as government agencies continue to adopt ALPR's (Automated License Plate Readers), the significance of having a front...

The degree of law enforcement varies across the country. However, as government agencies continue to adopt ALPR's (Automated License Plate Readers), the significance of having a front license plate has now become more important to them. As a result, the enforcement of the front license plate...

Not yet. Launching Model X and Model 3 now. Slipstream Bracket for Model S currently under development and will be released shortly after Model 3.

Yes! That is weatherproof padding that protects the finish from scratching. And, I agree completely with your thoughts concerning camouflaging the lower screws and have actually made that change on the most recent kits. You're right, it does look better! Thank you for your feedback and...

As the owners of a Model X and Model S, we dreaded the thought of drilling holes through our bumper or applying strong adhesives to the finish just to mount a license plate in an effort to avoid the cost and hassle of being ticketed. Previously, we had taken the chance of running "naked" for...
