Can anyone provide more intel on the stupid front plate holder? Are there holes underneath? We one platers here don't want that garbage in the front

@Ramphex - Can anyone provide more intel on the stupid front plate holder? Are there holes underneath? We one platers here don't want that garbage in the front
I have purchased 5 new Teslaās in California, and all of them came with the front license plate bracket in the frunk. This was the case even though a front plate is required by CA law. The individual SC is supposed to put them on, but thankfully that has never happened before. With the refreshed Model S, they appear to be installed at the factory. If you look at the drone footage, you can clearly see that these cars have the front plate bracket before they are shipped from Fremont. If you want it removed, you will need to remove it after delivery. Fortunately, the screws are underneath and will leave no visible holes.

@Dcher took delivery of his Plaid on Saturday, and he removed his license plate holder.Can anyone provide more intel on the stupid front plate holder? Are there holes underneath? We one platers here don't want that garbage in the front
What is it with Tesla not having attention to detail and doing such weird things that annoy people. Such as front plater holder, no red calipers, changing rim/cover colors, etc lol
Were there holes beneath the pre-installed license plate holder?

EVonly said they're underneath under the plate holder and are not visible.

I wonder if the local SC where you take delivery (in a state like FL that doesn't have front license plates) will take it off for you if you ask? I know pretty much every other auto dealer will do this for you if you ask, but Tesla does whatever they want no matter what's accepted as standard practice in the auto industry, so... ?

Wiki - Model S Delivery Update
Tesla called me today to see if I wanted to switch my black cf plaid to black wood plaid and get my car āwithin two weeksā. I said yes. This is exactly what I was hoping for. Iāll update when I get a VIN

While it may be gross to use glue, it sure is a hell of a lot better than bolting it on...

On the plus side, they are paying more attention to build quality and unnecessary rattles.
Yep! Iāll gladly work with glue over permanent holes.While it may be gross to use glue, it sure is a hell of a lot better than bolting it on...

I saw a video of a plaid with some tempest a good week ago, so not sure if thatās holding things up. Itās likely arachnid is just more popular.Not a single one with tempest wheels visible or delivered so far
I would love someone who knows to explain the strategy of applying the protective film on the cars then the go onto the carriers, coz it seems kinda random.
