Front license plate holder

Assuming you are looking at something other than the factory frame, then my suggestion is The Bandit. Expensive at $100, it does what it's supposed to do and IMO looks good. It doesn't stick to the bumper (i.e., no double-sided tape), it bolts to the grill under the bumper and doesn't interfere with any of the sensors.

It doesn't bolt to the underside of the bumper, where it would decrease the amount of space you have for clearing curbs and parking lot cement blocks.

One vote for SnapPlate — very happy with mine. And no, I don’t have any affiliation with LivingTesla.

Seconded. Love my SnapPlate. Worth every penny.

I have a ThatGrin Slipstream Bracket, it's on the expensive side, but has worked very nice for me.

Yes, The Bandit is terrific. Easy installation. Doesn’t touch the frame. Doesn’t block the air intake. Have had it for 10 months. No problems. Expensive? Maybe. But, it’s excellent.

Ottosteer magnetic. Has a couple of brackets that bolt to the grill, then it utilizes the factory plate holder with a couple of brackets that magnetically attach to the brackets mounted to the grill.

Another vote for "The Bandit". Great installation and well made.

Agree!

Another vote for the Ottosteer magnetic. Fits the contour like the Tesla plate but pops off when washing. It's not cheap though.........

Add me to the OttoSteer magnetic fans. Originally bought the non magnetic OttoSteer and went back for the magnetic. Easy install using the OEM plate. I like the fact that it sits more flush than the others out there so if I accidentally hit something my bumper won’t get any dings

Snap plate is great. Kind of pricey but worth it to me.

Aloha!

take a look at the Bandit, very well made. I got one I haven’t used since the License wrap can be used here in Cali.

I went with the Bandit

All of these options attach to the thin pieces of the grille. I'm worried that these pieces can easily snap.

Any brackets that connect to just the top/bottom of the opening?

Wish they made that one for Model X.
That one would have my vote.

Stock...why not?

Trying to think if I would ever want no front plate on this car? Nope, looks like it got punched in the face with that big frontal plane and not plate breaking up the space. I do not believe I will get one dollar more if I sell it without the factory plate holder in place? Never going to happen.

Perhaps a plate holder blocking the bottom grill? Why? Does it look better with the plate down lower? Nope again, I will assume the grill is there for a reason.

To each their own.

Well maybe...how about a retractable?
