Just installed it, the magnet felt weak. Easy to pull. I wonder if the whole suction cup will expose the fact it's easier to steal
I followed the Teslatap instructions and placed 3 magnets behind the nose cone, and 3 on the lic frame. I used the 7/8 x 1/4 magnets and put the contraption to the test when I drove to the Custer SD Tesla Rally. On the stretch of highway in SD where the speed ltd was 80 mph, I went waaaay over that, and the front plate did not even budge.
By any chance did you use the commercially-available solution with the two magnets and the suction cups? That's a different solution from Teslatap's suggestion, and I have been considering that one too.
With a leased car that you're going to turn back in to CA, I'd just drill the holes. Tesla can't get you for that decision. Otherwise, I have not put plates on my purchased S90D (nor any previous cars for years), but have "the Law" sitting in a box in my garage should I need to use it one day. If I privately sell my car when it's time with me is over, many enthusiasts like myself would prefer a vehicle without license plate holes so we can make our own decision what to do, but in your case -- wanting to put plates on now, and leasing, I think it's an easy decision, and it will save you a few bucks in the process.I am awaiting delivery of my new 85D. On my prior P85, I used the J-Bolt method. I cannot use that on this new vehicle due to autopilot. I like the non-destructive approach with the magnets, or using the over-priced "the Law". At the same time, should I care if my nose cone is drilled? I mean, I must have a front plate and will never remove it. Also, this is a leased car. I take pride in my cars whether leased or owned, but since I am giving it back in 3 years, what difference should it make to me? Seriously though, I would like some opinions on this.

I guess I'm too much of a rule follower. I also really like my plates.Why must you have a front plate? In my (humble) opinion they detract from the beauty of many cars--including Teslas. I have never put front plates on my cars for the last 40 years. Do I ever get a ticket? Occasionally. About once every decade. So then I put a temporary plate on, pay the $20 ticket, and later that day take the plate back off. Makes the car pretty; not that much bother!

My plate is mounted on "the Law" but kept in the frunk. But then, I'm in Texas and may need to demonstrate my willingness to comply if encountering a zealous officer. This is the first car I've not mounted a front plate.
I have my new front license plate on a "the Law" in my frunk as well. Did you every mount it to test?
I haven't. I am curious.
