So I just bought a 2025 Lightning Flash and under the back seat in the storage area there is this piece of plastic that I’m not sure what it is…anyone have an idea?

It’s the front license bracket. Unfortunately it looks like the dealer grabbed the other hardware out of it. Should have been screws and rivets with it.

Front license plate bracket. My car just had the bracket, no hardware and not installed by the dealer even though Oregon requires a front license plate.

the install is easy. There are two dimples in the plastic trim which are easiest to see with the frunk open. I just drilled the plastic with a small starter bit and the used two stainless screws to attach the bracket. It integrates well with the front of the vehicle as there is a relief in the trim at the lower edge of the frunk where the bracket fits perfectly.

Lucky they left it back there instead of on the bumper! Some places will install it, I prefer making that decision myself.

FYI if you don't want to drill holes, I used 3m double sided foam tape to mount mine. It's been a few months and a month with temps down to the high 20s a bit. Hasn't fallen off yet!

if you drill where it is marked, and take care not to plunge, you can use screws to install the bracket. If you take the bracket off the screw holes are all but invisible, unless you are entering the truck in a concours event.
