Lol, my normal Q/A session goes like this....
Wow, that’s a nice car what kind is it? **“Tesla”
Who makes it? **“Tesla”
No, who makes it? **“Tesla”
Oh, is that Japanese? **“No, American”
No, like where is it made? **“California”
Really? Oh, wait that’s one of those electric cars, right? **“Yes”
I heard they’re fast, are they? **“Fastest car I’ve ever been in”
I’m not one for a lot of public attention, but it’s funny how little the folks here on the semi-rural east coast know about the brand or the car.

2021 Model ? only has "Dual Motor" on the passenger side trunk. I honestly don't understand how that is more important than the model if people should ask.
Better to have nothing IMHO so I'll have it removed when wrapped.

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.

IDK, I bought the Performance model for the flex, and I want to show that flex.
I've bought old school P 100 D L labeling I'm going to put on mine after it's wrapped and the old one is removed. Just hope it's not revealed at some point to be more than 100kWh.

Don't worry, it's actually less. (slightly)
I debadged mine as well. The font used for the 'Model S' logo on the left is hideous and once seen, it cannot be unseen.
I'd remove the Tesla lettering on the back as well if I could figure out a way. Anyone know if that's possible? Is there a replacement part that's just chrome?

If I were to remove my badge, it would be to correct false advertising. My 85D is really more like 77.
Besides, and I'm surprised no one has said this but...
Badges? BADGES?! We don't got no badges! We don't need no stinking badges!

Just wait until tri-motor comes out with its badge w/plaid underline or some other symbol to denote plaid’
I’ll bet no one would want it removed

I am a proud 60D Owner. Did not debadge. But then, I looked up word debadge on Wikipedia and they give some reasons for debadging:
"Often debadging is done to complement the smoothed-out bodywork of a modified car, or to disguise a lower-specification model. Some people driving high-end luxury cars, do it not to flaunt the fact their car is any different from any other model and remove the badge. In Europe in particular, it is a common request for purchasers of high-end models of cars like BMW or Mercedes-Benz, etc. to have the emblems removed."
