No drill front plate holder for front bumper camera Model 3 Performance

Lolbeingsafefromcb | 2026-01-20 00:41 | 39 views

EDIT: Gonna rawdog it and have no front plate. Snapplates are more expensive than a ticket I'm about to take delivery of a Model 3 Performance (my first car, so excited)! I'll be living in Maryland for a year which requires a front plate. I'm don't want anything to touch my front bumper since I eventually won't need the front plate. I was looking at snapplate, teslarati, and took-hook plates. It seems like they don't have a front plate holder for 2026 M3P that has a front bumper camera. Or should I even have a front plate lol and just take the risk...I don't really wanna get pulled over.

Change your legal residence to SD and order a "Rear Plate Only" tag.

Can you display the plate in your front windshield?

it'll come with an adhesive front plate holder - at least mine did. You can remove it it wont mess up your paint.

Why do you care about having a front plate? I feel like I'm missing something.

To remove adhesive (badges, trim strips, etc) clean the car well. Apply some light oil, then see-saw behind the plate holder, through the glue with waxed dental floss. Clean again and use GooGone and alcohol to remove any remaining residue.

It looks more finished with a front plate, you don't want your car to be naked.

I meant why don't you want one on the front of your car?

Derp, my bad. I read the opposite. I'll delete it so other mis-readers don't make the same mistake, lol.

In California they have approved vinyl front plates https://licenseplatewrap.com

I’ve tried three different front plate holders. (Four if you count the default Tesla thing with adhesives) In my opinion, snap plate is the best on the market. I’ve bought it twice now. Once for my 2018 model 3, and again for my wife’s model y. For my new car, I just decided to “go commando.” I live in Texas, where law enforcement really could not care less. How, I used to live in Virginia, and work in Washington DC. I used to get tickets in DC due to no plate.

Many states require them, and omitting gives LEO an easy excuse to pull over and possible citation.

SchlongCopter69 2026-01-20 02:43

That’s so cool! Wonder if any other states are following suit.

SchlongCopter69 2026-01-20 02:44

Also. Can we call them FrumperStickers™️?! 🤷🏻‍♂️🙌🏻

SchlongCopter69 2026-01-20 02:45

True. Used to be a monthly “fix it” warning/ticket in TX. I’ve now gone 5yrs in three different cars without issue.

Good way for your passenger to get decapitated in an accident or sudden hard brake event.

A front plate is required where I live (IL). I got the Quick Bandit but it sits in my trunk usually. I have gotten one ticket in the six years that I haven't had a front license plate. I think the fine was $60(?).

Howry 2026-01-20 14:45

My OCD cant handle the plate being off to one side.

GreekUPS 2026-01-20 16:19

Not legal in my state

xxtremlockxx 2026-01-20 16:20

I'd check into the 3m adhesive strips. But not sure how that would affect the paint

Amazing-Airport1321 2026-01-20 22:15

I got mine from Amazon and haven't had any issues with it.

RBBCPA_98 2026-01-21 01:39

Go rawdog. It’s worth the clean look
