Instruction Guide - Tesla Model S 2012+ SnapPlate

Plate mounts are shipped in the center position by default. If you prefer a different position, follow the Plate Height Adjustment instructions ☝️ to adjust before continuing.

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

Press and hold the right button to rotate the latches open.

Insert SnapPlate into the center of the grille and release the right button.

Important! Press the left button to rotate the latches closed and engage the magnets.

Check that the left button is flush with the body to confirm that the latches are fully closed.

Optionally, install a black anti-theft security screw in the hole near the left button.

Note: If the screw doesn’t reach, make sure the latches are fully closed from Step 5.

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