Model X License Plate Saga

[Periokid]

How/where does the connector plate attach to the X? Do you have to drill holes inside the vent?

Two holes straight up into the bumper for model X.

Dealer installed mine. Perfect. What’s the issue? But then again, I’m nearly 70 so I’ve mellowed out

I spoke with a model X owner at a recent event who had the motorized version several post above. He said it didn't last long because the motor mechanism was not weatherproof by any means. So I went a different route.
. . . $5 & 2yr fade resistant warranty vinal. Best of all - No drilling

Dealer installed mine as well, but I think owners need to ask front license plate bracket(Seattle SC). It is L-shape and no need to drill front bumper.

My Model X was delivered a couple weeks ago. The very nice woman who delivered it was working overtime on Saturday. She told me the front license bracket was in the frunk.

I was reluctant to install the plastic bracket because I couldn’t find directions included in the package!
I’m “handy” and determined it could only go on one way. I marked three holes, took out my drill and drilled just through the plastic. I installed the plate and my California “FastTrack” transponder and it looks okay and seems fairly sturdy. I added some stainless washers to the plate and will fill the screw heads with black silicone for thief frustration. What a car! (you owners know... it’s not “just” a car! )
