How do I attach a front license plate to a Tesla Model 3?

I have a new Tesla Model 3 and live in New York. New York requires cars to have two license plates, one in the front and back. Currently, I only have one in the back, so I need to figure out how to attach a front one. What’s the best way to attach a front license plate to a Tesla Model 3?

Congratulations on the new car! While it may seem like a nuisance to attach a license plate to the front of your new
Tesla Model 3
, you must follow your state’s rules and regulations. Thankfully, there are worry-free ways to attach a front license plate to your Tesla.
The easiest solution is to use a license plate that mounts to your Tesla’s grill. These types of plate mounts use levers, brackets, or hooks to attach to the grill of your Tesla instead of having to drill holes or use adhesive. They are less intrusive and won’t diminish the value of your Tesla. Some brands you can check out are:
  • SnapPlate
  • Quick Bandit
Otherwise, you can use a mounting system that uses a magnet or wraps around the entire front bumper.
If you’re okay with something more permanent, you can contact the nearest Tesla service center or a body repair shop to have them install a license plate mount. You’ll want a professional to do this as it will require drilling holes in the front of your new car.
Once you have your license plate taken care of, ensure the rest of your Tesla has the best protection with the
