How to Attach Rear License Plate?

[getsometom]

@TeslaKen Not trying to throw shade but genuinely curious because I like the phrase. How is Kansas “powering the future”? Is it via agriculture production?

As you can tell, I’m a Texas boy and don’t know much about Kansas.

Tesla does not provide a rear plate holder. You can use the same self tapping screws for your plate. Mine came with the temporary plate attached to the rear at delivery but it’s the same screws as the front ones.

If you are looking for a plate frame/holder, there’s always this one that fits perfectly with the Cybertruck style but I’m biased. ?

haha we pay $20k for fully option Cybertruck and then they screw us with no license plate that costs them $4 LOL. I mean I got on my Model Y in December. Hilarious Elon.

Mine has 4 self tapping screws but with this license plate I'll probably need to get some anti-theft ones. BTW I did not go with a frame, if you zoom in on the plate check out the phrase that my state uses at the bottom. I figured it was appropriate for the Beast.

Looks super cool. Love the license plate.

I wanted that for Idaho, but someone already had it. Went with Cybertnk, getting it wrapped 3M matte military green.

? I completely agree. It’s also the reason why this frame exists. I couldn’t find one I liked anywhere so decided to just make it. It seems you all are have similar issues so I’m happy to share the love. ?

Love the military green idea! I named mine Phasma after Cpt. Phasma in StarWars. The custom plate is coming.

Love it.

We felt this truck was too unique to get a regular plate.

Heck yeah @Sorin we need to give it some pizazz and personality to present the cybertruck in full.

Anti-Theft License Plate Screws
where did you find them?

 

[getsometom]

To be fair, they’re less anti-theft and more thieft-deterrent since thieves will do what they want to do.

Hi how exactly were you able to put the 4 screws into the blunt plastic on the rear license plate area? Do you need to drill into them to make the holes first?

Thanks.

I know I'm not the most handy guy on the planet, but how do I attach the rear license plate? Do I use some of the screws that say front? Are they self tapping?

I appreciate any help on this topic.

Thank you.

Self-tapping, just start them with a screwdriver. If you drill a hole, there's nothing left to grab onto.

I'm guessing it's a reference to the hundreds of millions of gallons of ethanol fuel produced in Kansas. The Cybertruck gives the middle finger to ethanol!

I was curious how ethanol compared to solar in terms of land-use efficiency so I asked Grok:

"How does ethanol fuel production in Kansas compare to using the same acreage for solar production? Compare based on miles an ethanol powered pickup truck could travel vs. the Cybertruck (for a given area of solar/ethanol production)."

Grok's answer?

Solar power on the same Kansas acreage produces far more vehicle-miles—roughly 100–200× as many—as corn ethanol, primarily because of much higher energy yield per acre plus the superior efficiency of an electric drivetrain versus an internal-combustion engine.

Thanks so much!
