Do we need any stinking badges?

So, time to share your deepest feelings about badges.

Why didn't they have them in the first place?

Why didn't they have them in the first place?

Cause reasons which probably have to do with saving $ with parts suppliers - something like that is my guess

Like many others, my friend and I aren’t sure we want our “stinking badges” on our Model 3’s. However, then we wondered what anagrams we might make with DUAL MOTOR....

How about: TUMOR LOAD

or MORTAL DUO

or ADULT ROOM

or ULTRA DOOM

I have a dual and someone can have mine. I like the clean look.

I have a performance and will pick mine up (for completeness sake) but I won't be putting it on the car. I love the minimal badging on this thing now.

On all my previous cars I would take as many of the badges off plus dealership names as I could. I like stealth, also easier to clean the car without all the extraneous stuff on the surface.

I couldn't resist! AO did a very nice job on these. Highly recommended if you want a badge like this.

I’d love to see a badgeless Performance Model 3 without the red painted brakes - a true wolf in sheep’s clothing!

That is how mine looked until I added the badge. I don't have PUP, just the P speed upgrade. I get the whole sleeper thing, but sometimes you want the Dodge Demon next to you to know you have the goods

I do like the badgeless look. However, I have been challenged by a couple of BMWs recently and I just couldn't resist leaving them in the dust. I am, however, getting too old for that. Badging would likely cause them to avoid any challenge unless they are ill informed. Thus, I am considering going with P3 on the left (Using same AO letters as pdxrunr) and the stock red underlined Dual Motor on the right. This setup might address the unbalanced look of just having lettering on the right side with pure stock badging.

First thing I did with my Model S is tear off all the badges. I find the entire M3 badge saga to be pretty comical.

Badgers? Badgers? We don't need no stinking badgers!

I love badges ...

Model 3 owners who are SpaceX fans and don’t want the Dual Motor badge could get one of these (I have no affiliation with this vendor, but an considering this badge and am getting my DUAL MOTOR badge this coming Sunday)

Bad thread title.

Do I need badges - No
Do I want badges - Yes ( gives me the option to take them off if I don't like them )

However from my avitar….I guess you can see that I'll leave them on. ( at least for now ). I kinda like the lighted T.

No badges, please and thank you.
