I’m happy with the one Tesla put on my car at delivery.

Do recognize that the license wrap in California is a PILOT PROGRAM, and that there is a non-zero risk that the DMV does not continue authorization.I plan to do the same. So do you wait for the regular plate, then apply for the vintage plate, then apply for the vinyl plate? Thanks

just use the stock front plate holder as a guide.Where to position the front plate? I don't want to block the radar signal. The owner's manual surprisingly doesn't show the proper location. Anyone have pictures of front ends with plates? Thanks.

Quick Bandit. Takes significantly longer to screw the plate onto the mount then it does to put it on/take it off the car. Worth it.

Just finished designing (starting with a Model X version) a front plate holder for my Model Y. Does the same job as the other $100 + options except since I printed it myself, far, far cheaper! I even added a securing back to the part that goes through the fins (not in this picture) It's currently printed in PLA temporarily since PLA is adversely affected by UV (will make it weaker). I'll probably print it in ABS and see how that works out. When mounted it's very secure! The alignment of the fins is a little off, but I find that adds to the tighter fit.
are you planning to sell or would you share the STL? Thanks
That's good info, I do have a plate holder ($10 off eBay) that covers the grill airflow. Will take it off to check that.I installed a 'no-hole' plate on mine. While talking to the Tesla technician he mentioned that any plate that blocks grill airflow will reduce your range - and offered to install the factory plate holder in place of the no-hole plate holder. He explained that your Tesla tries to cool the system using just airflow through the grill, but if it can't get enough airflow, it starts up the fans to increase cooling (thereby using some of your battery charge). This makes total sense - so I would caution anybody about buying a plate holder that blocks the grill. My new factory holder is completely above the grill - I tossed the no-hole holder.
Although I would love to make some money on this I really don't have the ability to do so. I've started to upload the files to Thingiverse for others to print and modify as they feel.

I took a look at this option but have some concerns. It fastens to the fins like every other one however the part that holds the plate looks to be right up against the front bumper. I can see this vibrating up and down slightly and slowly wearing on the front bumper. If anyone already has one, it might be worth posting pics to either show this isn't an issue since there is enough space or show that this might in fact be an issue and warn others about this option. Also, there is that issue with it covering the front grill that others have mentioned. Other options, including the one I posted on Thingiverse covers the front grill also but still allows for air to travel under the plate not blocking the full amount of air.cheap and very practical
