This isn’t just a Tesla thing.
So often when I buy a car I’ll tell them don’t wash it, don’t put the license plate bracket on, just give me the F’n car.
They look at me like I have two heads.
Last time I let my guard down and let them attach the plate. Because they made me feel OCD. So I let them put rear only on.
Always wondered why the screws stuck out.
I just went to take the plate off and the screws refused to come out. The PEMs just spun.
They put course thread screws for self tapping plastic PEMs into a metal machine thread PEMs.
Grrrrrr
Oh, and the front bracket DOES take those course self tapping screws into plastic. So this is partly Teslas fault knowing that most folks are idiots and to have fine thread machine screws in the back and course thread self tapping in the front is just asking for trouble.
