Sourcing Model 3 front and rear “T” badges

[MXWing]

Got a full vehicle wrap and was wondering if anyone knew how to get replacement front and back T badges?

Tesla would be the best if they weren’t in 7 stages of purgatory at the moment.

There some eBay or Amazon or other 3rd party source that makes something identical or even better than the original?

Didn't Tesla crack down on people selling their logos?

Their lawyers delivering cars so doubt they are hard up on DMCA at the moment.

What happened to your originals?

Sliced off with heat gun and floss when they did the full wrap.

Situation resolved however.

Just went down to Tesla and got replacements. Not hard at all, and it was best to have them reinstall it.

They actually have fitting brackets that fit under the frunk and trunk to ensure perfect placement.

Hmmm, seems odd that they would have needed to be replaced. When I put the lighted T on the MX, I just sliced off the logo with dental floss and re-installed it over top of the lighted T.

What was the cost on them if I could ask? I'm thinking about changing mine (modified lighting bolt: Go Ahead -- Grade my Vanity Plate Idea). So it would be nice as a back-out plan.

25 each.

Both with tax ended up being $53 and some change.

I've heard people calling out that the T logo on the 3 is metal. Not sure if that's the case with S and X. Much easier to permanently bend the metal logo when removing, so harder to reuse.

My car was actually missing the rear logo upon delivery. Go figure.

The shop where I did my chrome delete (RPM Tesla) just removed the logos, wrapped them in black, and reinstalled over my PPF. Came out great I think.

Oh, I see. It is plastic on the X I have. I guess it must be thin metal. I would have guessed that carefully "sawing" it off with a line material would be easier to break plastic than to bend metal. Guess I'm wrong at that.
