Attached my permanent license plates on my refresh MX this weekend, and I found when attempting to remove the screws, the grommet (the plastic piece that accepts the license plate screw) would spin in place, thus making removal difficult. The grommet appears to be round but fitted into a square-hole on the MX, thus nothing to prevent the grommet from rotating in place.
The square-hole is about 7mm in size - smaller than the standard license plate grommets. I was able to find the correct grommet at AutoZone - Part #467190 or #459630 - that match the square-hole snugly.
If you are installing a license plate on your MX, save yourself the frustration and pick up these grommets beforehand.
What was Tesla thinking when using an ineffective grommet?
