Out of a desire to not attach the HOV sticker to either our Model S nor our Model 3, I designed a metal, non-permanent, secure HOV tag holder that attaches the HOV tag in the bumper area next to the license plate without any damage to the car. It attaches using the existing license plate screws and extends out beside the license plate. I sized it based on the Maryland HOV sticker which is 4 1/8 inches square.
I've been using it for about 18 months successfully. I just applied my renewal sticker overtop of the expired sticker. I've driven by cops on Rt 66 in VA who had slowed down cars in the HOV lane to give tickets and they let me drive through with no problem.
You attach the sticker to the tag holder and attach the tag holder in the license plate screws. The tag holder makes it appear that the sticker is attached to the bumper when in reality it is sitting about 1/4 inch away from the bumper. To remove it, you have to remove the license plate from the car, which deters theft.
Here are two pictures of it. If you are interested, I can make you one and mail it to you. It costs $30 plus shipping.
Ignore the dirt on the car - weather has been a mess and car needs a good washing!
