Tesla license Plate Failure

[@trexinvert]

At a redlight behind a tesla today. I always play "whats wrong with the Tesla workmanship" game every time I look at one of those. Typically, a fit issue between metal and plastic. No defect this time, but then....WTF. There are 4x screws drilled right through the rear license plate!!! WTF? How many people have a drill press, calipers, short length M4 screws, and a spare half hour to do the job right and clean up? Don't blame the engineers, but the guy in charge that said "...I don't care, just ship it". What else did top management skimp on? Will never buy one of those. Waiting for a toyota corolla. All electric. All quality.

So here's what you need to do: a.) Squirt some instant glue "carefully" between the aluminum insert and the plastic plate. Wait an hour. b.) Then unscrew the 4x screws. c.) Put everything back together again. Yes, I'm a mech engr, but you don't need that to figure this out. Just hands-on experience. The idiot design of the plastic frame being so fragile, again. Not that engr's fault. His boss telling him it's good enough.
