Tesla Model 3 Front License Plate Mount

The Platypus is a front license plate bracket that is made in the USA to exacting specifications. It is one of the best Tesla Model 3 accessories for keeping your license plate holder legal with no drilling required.

Removable

In many states, you need a front plate on your Tesla, but that does does not mean you have to drill it in permanently. The Platypus is designed to fit the existing port on the front bumper of the Model 3 for model years years from 2017 to 2023. This method of installing the front plate is common and legal in all states that require front license plates. At times when the plate is not needed, it can be removed easily, leaving no trace that it was ever there.

Quick Release

We believe that touchless is the only kind of automatic car wash anyone should subject their Tesla’s paint job to. If you absolutely need to use a rag car wash, then the Platypus should be removed to avoid getting caught up in the machine. We have planned for this. Using the included stainless steel flat wrench you can loosen the bolt a quarter turn and then slide the plate off before the wash. This takes less than a minute. Although we have never had a plate backing come loose accidentally, each plate backing is balanced such that if it did the plate would hang and not fall off.

Extension Arm for Precision Fit

This kit uses an Extension Arm in order to fine tune the placement of your plate mount to avoid a fog light or other bumper feature on your Tesla Model 3 2017-2023. To use the extension arm, first screw in the aluminum stud, keeping in mind the thread is left-handed, then bolt the extension arm to it. Then, attach the main plate to the extension arm and tighten, making sure it will not come loose. We've also included a velcro strap that you can use to secure the trunk release cable that is in this location also.

The placement of this Platypus kit will avoid triggering the PDC sensors on your Tesla. At most, you will need to manually adjust the angle of the plate once installed to ensure the whole plate is out of the sensors view.

Your Platypus is Guaranteed to fit! If you have any problems, please contact us at support@cravenspeed.com

Materials

The black powder-coated mounting plate is the full size of your license plate and includes stainless steel button head screws that look excellent.

The stud portion is machined from 6061 aluminum and black anodized. We make the studs at the high end of the receivers tolerance, that way the stud fits tight and stays put while you drive (this means that the stud will not go in without a wrench, like the stock tow hook does).

The hardware provided is the exact length for your plate mount and will not stick through the back to scratch your bumper, if you would like to install a plate frame or plate cover you will need a longer set of hardware for $1 here.
