Hello all!
I get to pick my P85 up friday and I was told that it does not have the badge. My vin is 62xx so not all have them. My service director was going to try to get one, but she said they are not due bill items. Not really too sure how I feel about that, but I hope she can work it out. Also no spoiler or parcel shelf at this time. And of course still waiting on the HPWC.

How big was it on the hood? I recently learned about Hindu's putting swastikas on their new cars for some ritual. Google search turns up an article like this: http://www.beliefnet.com/Faiths/Hinduism/2003/01/Photo-Essay-A-Puja-For-My-New-Car.aspx
Dmfick, I picked up my P85 yesterday (March 5) from the ERockville Service Center. My car does not have the P85 badge. Lenny, who is the service manager told me that the P85 and 85 badges are on order and that the owners of every P85 and 85 car delivered to date will be offered the badge for their car. I wanted it put on the due bill, but he assured me I will get one, and that it really not a due bill item, as the due bill is supposed to be for items ordered for the car (i.e., spoiler, shelf, etc.). My prior dealings with Lenny have been excellant, so I trust that I will be notified when the badge becomes available.

A very plausible explanation. The Nazis had adopted and made a sad mockery of what's a very holy symbol for Hindus.

That explains it!
I should have snapped a photo. It was about the same size as in the picture in your link, and positioned right at the center on the hood. It was red, and looked as if painted on with a lipstick, probably to make sure it could be removed easily.
Now I feel terrible for assuming vandalism and not thinking about this as a possibility. :redface:
Thanks mrbry and gg, I do feel better now, and learned something I didn't know...

So non-performance 85 owners would just have a badge with "85"? Seems weird - I'd take it off.

Where do we get this due bill anyway? Got my car today, missing spoiler, p85 badge, HPWC. But didn't get any sort of due bill that I am aware of...
I just saw this on the Tesla Bulletin Board - Why do some cars have a P85 badge and mine doesnt? | Forums | Tesla Motors. So it looks the all battery sizes will get model badging.

Hmm kinda strange. Wouldn't everyone that isn't p85 just opt for no badge so they all look like p85s? I doubt anyone would want a 40 or 60 badge.
