MS LR Blk/Blk 19”
Probably debadged since they will physically have the same battery with software lock. Could be unlocked at any time or unlocked by Tesla once traded in to increase their resale price from what they paid you for a standard range model.

Awesomer
Awesomest

Actually, they made that change 5 weeks ago, in the last week of January...so it's not quite the latest announcement.
With Tesla,s thinking, that’s entirely possible. But I really haven’t had an answer to the “badgering” question Someone on here must have seen one or bought one of the latest MS.I think the new badging will be as follows:
Awesome

Yea,
If you buy a new inventory model, most have the same badging as all 2018 cars. If you ordered one, like someone on Reddit said there is no badge. Just Model S.

This is the conversation I've had with SC regarding my incoming Long Range Ludicrous Performance Model S...
Do you know how the vehicle is going to be badged now that it's called Model S "Ludicrous Performance" rather than "P100D"?
Your Model S will come with the P100D badge.

I got my 2019 Tesla Model S with performance and Ludicrous upgrade and full autopilot and full self driving yesterday 6/5/19 and it now is badged as Dual Motor and no longer has P100D badging. I was bummed but it’s ok because the look on my face when I floored it for the first time was SHOCK. I do kind of miss the P100D badging and hope the other Tesla’s don’t have Dual Motor. How does one know now if it is Performance Model with Ludicrous upgrade and how does it set itself apart from the other Model S variants?
Is there a red line under the Dual Motor badge (on the car) or in the app?
I got my 2019 Model S Long Range in mid-May with adaptive suspension, 370 mile range, etc. The rear badging only has "Dual Motor" on the passenger side which I have seen on Model 3's. No "Model S" on the driver side which I would have liked.
You can buy a Model S badge online or at the Service Center...but it might cost up to $30.
What difference does the badging make?
1. It’s not like you’re going to forget what car you bought, right?
2. It’s still going to be the same awesome car with or without badging.
3. The original Model S deliveries didn’t have battery size badging either.

Increasing brand awareness and distinguishing models. It's easy to think everyone knows Tesla and the S vs X vs 3, but I've had multiple conversations this year that the badging answers:
a) "What car brand is this?" (with the follow up response "I've never heard of Tesla")
b) "Oh, is it that Model 3 I've heard about?"
c) "So you've got one of those Ludicrous mode cars!"

I have debadged my S, but left the Tesla "T" on the rear. It looks clean, and is easier to clean.
Being concerned about badging may be related to concerns over what others, even those we may never ever meet, think about us. It is just human nature. Just like many things in life, what clothes labels we wear, where we do our grocery shopping, what cell phone we use, etc....
I am not criticizing, just discussing.
I recently listened to a podcast about regrets people have at the end of their lives. One regret was worrying too much about what others thought and not living a life true to yourself. It is a stretch to tie the badging of a car with end of life regrets, to be sure. But what may (MAY) be related is putting too much stock in what others think about you.
As I age, I worry much less about what others think about me and realize more and more that others don't give a hoot about what I think!
Another regret was not letting yourself be happy. So do what makes you happy!
