I'm not sure what the fine is here. Before it was a fix it ticket and if you submit proof of installing the front license plate they'll reduce then fine to $10.
Sure, after I saw how it was done. I could also figure out relativity works after Einstein wrote all the formulas down.However, it is fairly cheap if you consider your time and the price of the hardware.
OK I am going to go out on a limb and say if you couldn't figure out what hardware they were using and just buy it, you have no chance of figuring out relativity even with the formulas
Sorry, couldn't help myself there

If it would have been a computer problem I'd have been all over it.

Have you seen the new Slipstream Bracket for Model 3? TMC Forum members can get a 15% discount and FREE priority shipping.

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 Hyundai. But, IMO, this $136 option beats getting $200 in tickets or doing over $1,000.00 in potential damage to a Tesla costing $60,000.00 plus.
Here is a free one - DIY - open source
3D print this design yourself if you have a 3D printer or on https://www.3dhubs.com
Using ABS Plastic for < $50, Using PLA for < $30
Open Source Link: sevuganhari/sood-tm3
I printed mine on https://www.3dhubs.com, images attached on github.
V2 might be better with ABS plastic.
For fixing license plates you can use
For fixing the holder to black grill, you can use M3x25mm bolt and nut.
I blv. ACE hardware / homedepot / lowes might carry one.
I am working on V3 that might include holes for less work - in drilling after 3D printing it.

So got our model 3 done in full ceramic pro the day after we took delivery. Now 2 weeks later and my plates arrived. I should have stuck the front brakes on before ceramic pro as the adhesive isn’t sticking. I guess the pro is doing its job. I also agree pre established screw holes would have been nice. My front plate will go on and never come off. As for the tow hole option when I took the cover off there is a (+) wire attached to the cover. So are people just leaving it there to dangle?

That wire is used to jump start the battery in case your car is completely dead to the point that you can't even access the front trunk.

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 from the plastic intake grille. Be sure to use code TMC15 at checkout for the discount. ThatGrin.com | Shop

Tell your friends to send me one of those and I'll review it and post photos of the install process.

Interesting the loaner S I'm in has illegal tint and no front plate. I wonder what happens if I get puled over!

hah, I'd have a hard time losing them in a RWD S.
Does the fix it ticket go to the driver or owner of the vehicle?
