2026 Tesla Model Y and 3 SnapPlate+ Instruction Guide

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

Install your license plate on the plate mount using four of the included black or silver larger, washer-head torx security screws.

Note: Make sure the SNAPPLATE logo on the top of the plate mount and the license plate are both right side up.

Use the smaller, round-head black screws to attach the bases to the plate mount in the top and bottom holes.

Note: The base with the I marker goes on the side of the plate mount with the I marker and the base with the II marker goes on the side of the plate mount with the II marker.

Optional: The plate mount can be adjusted higher by sliding the plate mount up by 1, 2, or 3 holes and installing the screws at the farthest available holes. See the Plate Height Adjustment instructions for details 👇

Align the vertical openings in the bases with the vertical bars in the grille and slide the SnapPlate into the grille.

Note: You can press the OPEN buttons while installing the SnapPlate or just push it onto the grille. The OPEN buttons will move on their own.

Push the bases onto the grille while you push both CLOSE buttons to secure the SnapPlate.

Important! It should be a snug fit and there should be some resistance, but the buttons should not be difficult to push. If they're too difficult, adjust the depth following the Grille Depth Adjustment instructions. 👇

Make sure both CLOSE buttons are flush with the SnapPlate bodies to ensure they are locked in place with the magnets engaged.

Optionally, tighten the black anti-theft security screws in the holes on both sides.

Note: It should take ~8 full turns to lock or unlock the screws. They do not need to be fully removed.

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