Sticker plates - best location to avoid interference with sensors/cameras?

[ev_fanatic]

I'm in CA and am planning to get a sticker plate for the front to avoid the surround camera issue. I've heard that it can interfere with sensors if installed in the wrong place on a Tesla - is there a corresponding "right" or "wrong" place on the R1 (specifically the R1S)? i.e. are there any sensors behind the front bumper, esp. radar/ultrasonics, that could get inadvertently blocked?

I would expect putting it in the same place that they are mounted by Rivian should work, but just wanted to be sure that being slightly off won't cause any issues.

Photos would be appreciated.

Rivian's radar is between the headlights.

Thanks for that info. Are the ultrasonics clearly visible? (I will be taking delivery in a couple of weeks).

I got a tow hook plate from here

It's a lot for what it is, but it works well with the plate holder that came with my R1S. You can adjust it on the tow hook before you tighten it up. And it fits between the ultrasonics, so no issue.

I got mine from License Plate Wrap. They included a diagram of the Rivian front end showing the sensor locations so you know the areas to avoid. I put mine in the same location as the first poster here: https://www.rivianforums.com/forum/threads/adhesive-front-license-plate.6647/

Agree w tow hook options after reviewing avail options. Just remove prior to visiting the car wash. The back brace attachment has 3 different slots for attaching - can pick the outside slot to center the plate between the cameras so no interference w picture.

Thanks for the links! I'm tending towards the sticker option since it is less likely to be stolen/messed around with and is okayed by CA DMV.

I've also been happy with the SNAPPLATE.
