Front License Plate Solutions

[breser]

I'll point out that the Autopilot version of The Law is easier to put on than the older version. The new version only needs the included hex wrench and doesn't have nuts to tighten that really require a wrench rather than a nut driver or socket set.

This is an awesome thread.

Entering year four of Model S production without a solution from Tesla when 31/50 states require a front LP? Not awesome.

To be fair, the solution can also be having a nose one that is drilled into with a plate for compliance and then purchase a spare nose one for "looks."

The car just looks too good with a nose cone that is "unencumbered" with a plate.

Doesn't that block the front TACC camera?

Not on a non AP S.

To be fair you can install this off center as its only for certain situations. Public parking, getting pulled over. Etc etc.

Like a few of us have mentioned. I use the Torklift "The Law".

Edison's wife has a P85D. Torklift says "Non Autopilot Compatible", ergo not a proper solution.

As @breser mentioned, there is a newer auto-pilot friendly version as well...

Ask them when ordering. They also had the same "auto pilot compatible" version at TMC Connect.

I have an 85d with autopilot features and the newer version of 'the law' works great.

So you just have to remember to deploy it as needed. Looks pretty cool.

Very cool. But I recommend you be very careful. I've had two of the manual version. I tore them both off at curbs when pulling in and out of parking spaces.

Amp. I had a friend with one of those. I was going to do the same for my G, until it ripped off of his bumper. He thinks he hit a few too many times going up a ramp.

You do have to be conscious that's for certain, but so far so good.

There are a few threads on this I think. Magneplate is probably best if you want to install/remove the plate often, TheLaw is better if you want to permanently install the plate.

I use TheLaw and have no complaints. Make sure you order the correct one (AP or non-AP).

I wonder how well does the mageplate hold, esp around bumpy condition or extreme wind condition?

I've had the Magneplate and it is very secure. I've driven with it in stormy and windy conditions and it hasn't had any problems. I will say I suspect it has no problem staying secure at speeds above 125 mph . I haven't driven over what I would say are very bumpy conditions as I have the 21 inch wheels and try to be careful when driving over bumps and other difficult roads, but based on my experience, I would say bumpy roads should not be any problem for the Magneplate to stay secure.

Cool thx

I had my art department print me a copy of my plate on reflective vinyl, laminated and computer cut. works great!
