Just got this one from Amazon. The one I ordered was Prime, so not sure if they'll have them back in stock as prime or not. It's nice, aluminum (really light), letters are big enough to read from far back.
Now I just need a Tesla to put it on... next week?!?!

It's very appropriate, as the Model S is clearly the car that moves most like a Foo Fighter (from the original WWII definition, anyway)!

Yay! I got my plates a couple of days ago and today, Nathan at the Rockville Service Center was awesome and installed my plate with the Tesla frame in the rear. I'd done the front, but I was missing screws in the back. My plates came in the mail a little warped but he wrestled it into the frame and installed. 
I'm a happy camper now. (Well, I was always happy--love the car!)

FWIW, this is the custom license plate frame I ordered from autoplates.com in anticipation of my S delivery next month. The service was quick and the the range of selections is enormous - not only in frame designs but in materials, fonts, style, etc. Basically you choose the style and material and add your words if not happy with standard phrases. This happens to be top of the line, chrome plated zinc and the words are engraved and filled-in (choose your color/font). There are also other accessories available such as the clear polycarbonate plate shield you see here, and various types of related mounting hardware. Not trying to be a shill, but just happy with what I got.

I sure do like that! Sign me up!
Does it strike anyone else that the license plate attachment anchors are totally inadequate? Two of four of mine on the rear were stripped out so that the screws could not be removed without somehow gripping the plastic anchor. Since they are in round holes it still isn't clear to me how they are supposed to grip the metal. Tesla should work to make a better impression in the first order of business for a new car...
I personally prefer the electronic manual to the usual approach of putting one in a fancy binder, but it needs a search function to fully realize it's potential...

Go to Lowes or Home Depot or your favorite hardware store and purchase #10 sheet metal screws either 1/2" or 3/4" long. 5/8" came off my car but I couldn't find 5/8" so I bought 3/4" and don't think they punctured anything important inside. If only using 2 screws then 1/2" might not have enough bite.
