Description

A socket adapter for the front license plate bracket screws on the refreshed Model S. I was surprised that no socket I owned would fit the screws holding on the bracket, so I printed up an adapter for a standard socket and the screws were removed with ease. I assume Tesla will start using these screws for other applications as well. I have included an adapter for a 10mm hex socket as well as 12mm. They can also be used with a nut driver. I recommend using PET-G for printing instead of PLA since it is tougher and less brittle, however PLA may work just fine.
