Using RFID Transponders
When attaching an RFID transponder (used by many
automated toll systems) inside Model 3, place the
transponder on the passenger side of the rear view
mirror as shown. This ensures best results and minimizes
any obstruction to your driving view.
NOTE: You can also attach a weather-proof transponder
to the front license plate.
Installing Front License Plate
Bracket
To accommodate jurisdictions that require a license
plate on the front of your vehicle, Model 3 is equipped
with a license plate bracket. This bracket conforms to
the shape of your vehicle's front bumper and is adhered
to it using strong adhesive.
NOTE: Tesla recommends performing this procedure on
a clean, dry vehicle during a warm day. Cold and/or wet
conditions may result in reduced performance of the
adhesive.
To install the front license plate bracket:
1. Get isopropyl alcohol and test it on a non-visible
painted surface of your vehicle to confirm that it does
not damage or remove the paint.
2. Clean the mounting site with isopropyl alcohol and
allow to dry for at least one minute.
3. Fully remove the protective tape from the adhesive at
the top of the bracket and partially remove the tape
from the top of the adhesive on each side. Leave the
bottom half of the tape on the sides in place and fold
the unattached tape outward for easy removal after
aligning the bracket to the bumper.

4. While tilting the top of the license plate bracket away
from the bumper (to prevent adhering it to the wrong
location), align the bottom center of the license plate
bracket with the middle of the grille as shown.
NOTE: Be as precise as possible when aligning the
bracket because you will be unable to reposition it
once adhered to the bumper.
5. While correctly aligned, move the top of the bracket
against the bumper and apply pressure so that it is
held in place by the adhesive.
