How to Install the SnapPlate+ on Tesla Cybertruck (2023 and Newer)

Installation

  • A screwdriver tightening a screw on a license plate, partially showing the word LATE and red cursive letters above.

    Step 1

    Install your license plate using four of the included black or silver torx security screws.

  • Close-up of a gray electronic device with a QR code. An orange arrow points to the QR code on the devices surface.

    Step 2

    Press the OPEN button on the right side of the base part.

  • Black, rectangular device with evenly spaced slots and an orange downward-pointing arrow above. The frame reads SNAPPLATE CYBER on the side.

    Step 3

    Insert into the center of the grille making sure the vertical bar is aligned with the vertical slot in the SnapPlate.

  • Close-up of a black mechanical part with an arrow pointing to a section labeled Close.

    Step 4

    Press the CLOSE button on the left side of the base.

    Important! If the button is too difficult to fully close or the SnapPlate feels loose on the grille after it is closed, adjust the rotating latches following the Grille Depth Adjustment instructions. ☝️

  • A close-up of a black 3D-printed object with a raised rectangle labeled CLOSE inside an orange circle outline.

    Step 5

    Make sure the CLOSE button is flush with the SnapPlate body to ensure it is locked in place with the magnets engaged.

  • A close-up of a screwdriver turning a screw on a black plastic object with the word OPEN embossed on it.

    Step 6 (Optional)

    Tighten the black anti-theft security screw in the hole on the right side.

    If you find that tightening the screw moves the OPEN button, push and hold the CLOSE button on the left side while tightening the screw.

    Note: It should take ~6 full turns to lock or unlock the screw. It does not need to be fully removed when unlocked.

  • Close-up of a metal door with the word OPEN embossed on it, highlighted by an orange circle, and surrounded by visible screws.

    Step 7 (Optional)

    Once the screw is tight, double-check that the open button is flush and does not move.

  • A person installs a wireless, removable license plate mount on the front bumper of a vehicle.

    Step 8

    Don’t forget to remove SnapPlates for automated car washes. Most touchless washes are fine, but better to be on the safe side!

Grille Depth Adjustment

  • Orange screwdriver handle and a double-ended metal screwdriver bit on a white background.

    Step 1

    Remove the T10/T25 bit from the screwdriver handle and reinstall with the smaller T10 bit facing out.

  • A black plastic frame with a central rectangular holder containing four screws inside orange circles. The frame has markings U.S. on the top left and ITALY on the top right.

    Step 2

    Locate the T10 torx screws in the center of each rotating latch.

    • Go to Step 3 to loosen latches
    • Go to Step 4 to tighten latches
  • A screwdriver adjusts a black plastic mechanism with multiple levels, guided by orange arrows indicating the direction of rotation.

    Step 3

    Turn each screw counterclockwise (lefty loosey) 1/2 turn to loosen the latches by 0.25mm. Pull each latch with your fingers to make sure they are extended and then try the fit on the grille.

    Repeat up to four times (two full turns) as needed.

    Important! Contact support before proceeding past two turns. If loosened more than two turns, the SnapPlate could become stuck in the grille and it may be very difficult to remove.

  • A screwdriver with an orange handle is positioned to adjust a stacked set of black 3D-printed parts, with orange arrows indicating direction.

    Step 4

    Turn each screw clockwise (righty tighty) 1/2 turn to tighten the latches by 0.25mm and try the fit on the grille.

    Repeat as needed.
