Model Y rear badge

[floydturbo]

I added a rear badge Showing it as a Model Y. I understand many people don’t like badges and chrome delete, so this won’t appeal to everyone. I am happy with my Tesla and the general population has no idea what model they are looking at.

I like it, where did you get it?

I probably won't do that, but I like it.

Abstractocean. They have chrome and black $19.99

Looks great, OP. Thanks for sharing.

I've had kids in the neighborhood come up and ask what model my MY was. This would solve that problem!

I bought the Model Y badge in black to match the door handles, but think it might look better in chrome to match the existing Dual Motor badge. Any suggestions on which color to choose before I install it?

it should match whatever is on the back. would be weird otherwise

I’m warming up to it the more I see it, I think black on blue would be subtle without being ostentatious.

Nice! I'm actually thinking of replacing the Tesla badges with a Toyota badge like that one guy and add the Prius sign, would be hilarious

You can get the dual model badge in black also. I just did that, plus new plate holder for the back in black.

Or just plastidip the dual motor and tesla logo black.

Do you remove the badge and dip it or spray? And if you remove it and dip it what do you use to reapply it. Thanks for the info!

Mask off surroundings and spray directly on the car. After 4 to 5 coats peel it off. The dip magically breaks at the badge and emblem outlines. Plenty of videos on YouTube. One thing to make it slightly easier is to wad up small pieces of tape and put them in the middle of the Os and D etc. that makes it easier to grab hold of the dried dip in those spots. Otherwise you need to scratch and rough it up before you can grab a small bit to peel. Unfortunately it seems impossible to remove the dip from the middle of R and A so I had to live with that.

I decided to black out with plastidip all the rear badges including the new Model Y one.

Looks great either way... I would love to see them w/your wheels in the picture as well. It might be an idea to match the badges with your wheel color?

Here are front and rear photos.

Looks much better when the badges match the wheel color!
