Hideaway Front License Plate (Motorized)

[joeybacs]

Anyone in here have Hideaway motorized Front license plate installed? I am trying to find a shop that can install it for me here in Southern California (Los angeles or Orange County Area).

Tell me what you guys think.

Here is a video to show you what I am talking about.

Uhhh... the shop that produced the video installs them in LA; is there a reason you don't want to use them? I can't, since I'm in San Diego, but I might have to schedule a road trip, 'cuz that's pretty amazing.

I messaged them and scheduled an appointment. They flaked on me.

How sad!

Whoa! I've never seen this before. Is there a kit or something that I can buy and install? A google search leads me to these... don't know if it will fit on a tesla.

Looks awesome. Personally, I'd just be concerned about ripping it off on a driveway or curb.

I had one of these on my C6 Corvette for a number of years. I had one of the first units sold to use for test fitting and making a short demo video. It lasted for years without issue. It's a fairly simple but effective product. I always had the concern that I would rip it off but I never did. There was little front overhang on a C6. Regardless you still have to be very careful of curbs. Now if you use your car year round in the winter with road salt etc, I wouldn't plan on this thing lasting. Also, I only used it when I went in for a yearly state vehicle inspection. I really never needed it for cops. Maybe I just got lucky?

I did not put one on my Tesla, I decided that I didn't like the look of the rail that pretty visibly hangs down. I got one of these instead and I'll keep the plate in the trunk so I have it for inspections and to pop it on in hopes of just getting a warning if I get pulled over. The mounting block is pretty much hidden.

That was my first thought as well. I ended up just sticking my front plate on. I don't like it, but there it is.

I feel like if you were pulled over with this and then “pulled a fast one” on the cops they would clearly see it’s motorized and. E pissed off. Idk. Very cool though

I fooled one cop once. It’s very sturdy once deployed. Same cop pulled me over again a few months later and the trick didn’t work a second time. Those were the only two times in 10 years I was pulled over for no front plate.

I had the manual version on my first S. I tore it off when pulling into a parking lot and bumping the folded down tag against the curb. So, replaced it with another manual one. Only took about a month, and same thing again. Even paying more attention, and raising the car, I still tore a second one off.

There used to be a comment in the reviews on Amazon about the electric version. Vette owner reported his kept stopping because mud puddles gummed up the motor.

Last six years, no front plate.

What about this for a Model 3:

OttoStick Tesla Model 3 Magnetic Front License Plate Holder

I just ordered one--really for use when parked in a 'high risk' area, and not for a stop by your local LEO.

Nice!

What happened the second time...

I installed the Ottostick magnetic license plate holder and it’s perfect. I can remove it when I don’t want it then put it back when I need to.

 

[TORQU3]

What happened the second time...

He said that he knew he wasn't crazy and there was not a plate out. I told him he was right and showed him the mechanism. I got a ticket and then went to court and got it thrown out since I had a picture of the car with the plate fixed to the front (temporarily). Never had another issue.
