Debadging 2017 Tesla Model S

[James-R10]

I am looking to debadge my soon to arrive Model S.

Is it a simple heat, use floss to remove and then remove adveshive?

I’ve seen conflicting reports on whether it’s just adveshive or whether it’s adveshive and alignment holes in the body itself.

Please can someone confirm ?

This guy seems to have an innovative way to debadge his Model S

No holes. Just a little bit of heat. Easy peasy.

Easy except removing the front plate bracket. Plan at least an hour for that if going the pliers bolt turning route.

Don't forget the the rear hatch chrome trim (and front emblem can be screwed off): Removal of Front Emblem and Rear Hatch Chrome Trim

I’m just literally looking at getting rid of the Model S and 75D badges.

I saw that video but as it was a P85, not sure if t was different for the facelift.

No holes, very easy. Heat, floss, goo gone.

One other way that I've done it in the past was with a plastic razor. It will help you get the majority of the adhesive when you pull them up and seems to work better than floss.

Any good threads on how to re install the badging?

You'd have to buy the badges with the adhesive already on them. I wouldn't want to cut that all perfectly... that'd be tough...
