License Plate Bracket for the Model X

[ernies]

Mine will be coming off and probably only be used to go into Canada. I am glad I have it, but like @RossRAllen am not totally convinced the license itself is not blocking airflow to the point where there could be an overheating problem. Also, there is the possibility that anything out there could affect the radar. However, I will have it in the frunk for when it is needed.

At my delivery appointment for my Model X my delivery specialist asked if I wanted a no-drill mount for the front license plate and when I said I did she emailed me a link to this The Law product. Not exactly an endorsement but it kind of suggests that they don't see a problem with it blocking the grill.

That is interesting

We appreciate your inquiry — Creating a Model S Refresh Law bracket would definitely be worth consideration. We'll pass it along to
our engineering team to see what they can do. We will need to bring a refreshed Model S into the shop in order to confirm fitment of The Law, but this will be the first place we announce any new accessories!

Any news on a Model S Refresh Law bracket? Are you in need of a vehicle to confirm fitment?

I would really like to know also. I think the front license plate looks so much better when it sits low on a car verses being smack in the middle of the nose.

Can you confirm that the Law is compatible with HW 2.0 and does not interfere with the active cooling of the MX?
Then - it could look like this (on a HW 1.0 ):

For Torklift Central:
Will the Law for Model X fit the refresh Model S? They both look similar on the front end.

1. I have installed the front license plates without drilling any holes. I used couple of toggle bolts, threaded rod cut to length, covered with heat shrink tubing and soldered nuts on one end. Cost me $5. If anyone interested, I can post pictures and some detailed instructions.

Pure genius. I love it. You have inspired me to start/create a note in my iCloud notepad of the best Posts on TMC and yours is the first one I put on there so I can reference back to it later.

Than you very much. I am humbled.

I listed it in ebay.

Hi,can you share details of the exact parts used. It looks like a wing nut secured to the grill with a bolt holding onto the plate. Is there any vibration? And does the top of plate rub against bumper? Appreciate you looking at other options

 

[kpalaniswami]

No vibration. I have it on for over a month. You got the parts list right and is available from home depot. You need to do some tinkering with the rod. You can buy it from me otherwise. This solution works for me very well and other solutions are quite expensive for the purpose they are serving. Plate holder which is made out of soft plastic touches the bumper. So no issues there.

Would it be possible to just glue the Tesla bracket on with double sided tape rather than drill 3 holes in the bumper? As I understand it, the Model S facelift is doing it this way. Unfortunately, I suspect it's just not that easy for Model X's bracket, but maybe someone knows for sure that this would not work?

If you clean and prep correctly and use the same tape, it should work. Back in the day, that's how a lot of side skirts and front lips were installed with no issues.

Refresh bumpers are drilled though I think
