Is my badge wonky or have I lost the plot?

[Pud123]

Do you think my dual motor badge is wonky, or am I imaging it/ that's how it's meant to be because of the curvature of the boot lid?!

When it was in for a service I mentioned it and they said they "tested it with a badge tool". They also said they fixed the boot, which still isn't right. But that's another story...

Please tell me I'm going mad so I can stop looking at it!...

Is the car wonky as the gutter above it could be horizontal!

I wanted to vote for a couple of answers there

I have to admit, I never looked too closely at mine. Now I'm afraid to go out and check it!

Options:
A bit more air in the left rear tyre.
A second badge on the left canted to even things up
Complain about Tesla build care and write lots of messages on assorted tesla groups....
Angle the number plate in line with it and really wind everyone up
drive faster so no-one ever gets close behind to see it.
Take your left shoe off when you walk behind

I think it's just all those panel gaps that make it look that way............

Well, the added line is not in line with the badge either, it's not that bad ... but yes it's slightly off to my eye.

It’s a bit like hanging a picture on a wall.
If in doubt ask a woman

I dare you!

It's following the curve of the bootlid - if you stand on one leg and squint it looks straight...

 

[Pud123]

Fixed.

 

[Ant M3]

I think it looks straight and is relative to the curve of the boot

er... anyone who installed horizontal gutters for me wouldn't get paid. They need to slope towards the drain... unlike car badges.

You guys are crazy...

After a few gin's it should fix it self.

Caution - do not drive if fixed

 

[Durzel]

This way madness lies..

These badges are applied with a template that aligns with the boot lid, so it will be straight relative to that at least.

(not my car)

Now, whether the boot itself is totally straight or not is another matter.

It looks right to me to be honest.

‘will be’ = ‘should be’, surely?

 

[Durzel]

Well, yes, should be. I guess my point is if they have a template available and it’s not typically being done by eye then more likely than not it’s going to be “correct” relative to the boot lid.

How about removing it for a nice clean look?
