I recently purchased a new MS. It came with a fairly obtrusive front license plate bracket I'd like to remove. The good news is Arizona doesn't require a front plate so there's apparently no legal reason not to. It happens to be bolted to the underside of the bumper with some sort of bolt that requires a special tool so I asked the folks at the SC if they would remove it for me. Their reply was to the effect that Tesla won't allow them to because it was part of the crash test configuration on the new S's and they don't even have the necessary tool anyhow. Crazy, eh?! Anyhow, I have figured out how to remove it (thanks U Tube)
but am having second thought about safety. What about structural integrity in the event of a front end impact or...other? Your comments will be appreciated.
