I just installed mine. I don’t know the size but I can give you the part numbers if that’ll help.

It would be a lot easier if the manufacturers would just include 4 with delivery o the vehicle. I use ss on my Y 5 mm I believe. but I had to drive to the hdwre store to get them. I would have like not to have to go and get them. I would rather the maker have added $5 to the cost of my car.

do we know what size the screws are? I wish I were better at telling screw sizes just by looking, but I don't think they're M5 or M6 screws. the pitch is too wide to be a machine screw. I'm guessing they're 1/4"-14 screws--I need longer than the stock 3/4" for my license plate frame thickness, so I may just buy some security screws off amazon and try them.

Did you have to drill the holes for the rear plate? My truck seems to have a slot for the screws for the rear, but it looks like they aren't threaded.

IIRC, the screws for the rear plate are self-tapping.

If so, they’ll just thread right into those indentations.

With my truck, I received a plastic mount for the front plate, 3 bolts for that mount, and 2 packs of 4 screws. I needed no other hardware.
And for those of us who can't find that little gift bag from Tesla? Any idea on the size of the screws?

My front plate bracket was missing the four self-tapping screws. The SC gave me a set.

Here's the part catalog link: Parts Catalog (tesla.com)

Here's a photo of what came for my plates, 2 sets of these. They are Truss head self tapping screws. 5mm diameter x 9mm long. For plastic, with very sharp threads, widely spaced, cross-head drive. Not stainless. Sorry for the focus.

Here.... For those of you, like me, who didn't get any license plate screws with their truck but the two they used to attach my temporary tag.
