Posted in photos thread looks like it will have an optional mount I wonder how this attaches? doesn't look bad but I would rather have a winch there.

other than for pretextual reasons , you prolly won't get stopped for not having a front plate on a newer model vehicle - especially in this day and age of smash-n-grabs + $900 nolle pros shoplifting ?

Just saw this pic on Reddit. Shows that the front plate mount appears to be screwed right into the front bumper. Definitely going to request that the bracket NOT be attached to the vehicle!

As long as it's not double sided tape. Obviously folks can affix or not if they choose based on this pic. But my personal preference is mounted by screws and not tape.

I haven't seen front license in plate in most Teslas, my neighborhood is pretty much filled with Model 3/Y and most of them don't have front license plate.
Tesla doesn't drill holes. They provide adhesive strips to attach.

It’s a fix it ticket. Pain in the rear Why do people invite chaos in their lives?
You can get detachable plate holders that attach to the grill. So fix it. Remove it. It is rare to get issued a ticket.

Oh yeah...there was a reason all right. I was pulled over because I was exceeding the posted limit by a significant amount. Got the ticket, the points and the higher insurance rates to prove it ?. My bad...in too much of a hurry...caught dead to rights. A lack of a plate would have been the least of my worries but fortunately wasn't part of the conversation.
As far as the "sticker thing"...might be a good idea...or might draw even more attention. At least without a plate there, it could appear to be just negligence. A made up sticker indicates deliberate planning and execution. Personally, I hope it works out cause it's still better than drilling...let us know how it goes...Good luck...

You don't need to drill to attach a regular plate, Tesla only provided double sided tape. It works fine.

it's going to have to be drilled into the front bumper or (gasp) the front fascia - no way around it. If only they could supply some kind of front bracket - and as for EU potential export it will be a requirement.
Someone dropped the ball on this one ( and the Apple Carplay/Android Audio). Both are able to be solved , but with the kind of talent Rivian has at its disposal , somewhat disappointing.
