Told by the local PPF installer here they would remove it as well.Same here. When I had the PPF installed just had them remove it. ITs got loads of highly sticky tape on it so its not super easy apparently.
Not an engineer here but I Beleive the point is that bracket is the first thing that touches, at the speed they test it breakes nothing else's doesMooda, in a low speed crash test your hood would bend too! The frame doesn't support the hood BTW..
There are videos on youtube. Get some fishing line and a hair dryer. It's attached with tape. Comes off easily in about 10 minutes.Also got the same reply from Tesla service center about the crash test. My PFF guy didn’t know how to remove it. But my question is 1) there are two star-shaped screws(for which I don’t have a wrench for) aren’t they keeping the plate holder attached to the bumper? If not, what the deal with them? Any ideas where I can get a wrench fit it? 2) when you removed the plate holder were there any visible holes or signs of something being there? 3) does it do anything to Tesla’s warrantee or liability protection since you altered the car?
You can also get them out using a pair of 90 degree angled needle nose pliers. You should be able to pick up a pair of these at any good hardware/tool store. I didn't have 90 degree, but had 45 degree, and were still able to get them out using those. After the first initial turn or two I could then just get them the rest of the way our with my fingers.1) there are two star-shaped screws(for which I don’t have a wrench for) aren’t they keeping the plate holder attached to the bumper?

If you get a small pair of bent needle nose pliers from harbor freight or something you can turn those stupid screws enough to get them off. My 3M tape was 6 years old by the time I went to remove it so it came off in bits and pieces but heating the entire plate holder up with a hair dryer definitely helped with the initial removal. Then goo gone the rest and it should be good to goAlso got the same reply from Tesla service center about the crash test. My PFF guy didn’t know how to remove it.

To my knowledge, ALL 2016-2020 Model S had the two pentalobe screws in addition to the double sided tape. If that changed, it would have been with the Palladium refresh in 2021.And somewhere between 2016 and 2021, they switched designs.
What about the star shaped bolts?There are videos on youtube. Get some fishing line and a hair dryer. It's attached with tape. Comes off easily in about 10 minutes.
My 2022 does have star shaped screws in the front plate holder. But I guess the screws only one part and the adhesive tape is after screws are removedFor others coming down this rabbit hole, the 2021-2023 S front plate is only held on with adhesive, no screws. The 2016 S has two screws facing downwards as others talk about where the plate holder wraps under the facia opening. And somewhere between 2016 and 2021, they switched designs.
Unscrew them.What about the star shaped bolts?
