Piano black front and back emblems, steering wheel carbon fiber emblem, and Abstract ocean rear tailgate lettering.
Are these Ts the excessively long T bottom, over the top cover, 3M tape types? It seems like it from the pics, where the proportions of the T on the hood, trunk are throw off.

I used the steering wheel to rest objects between it and my chest, but I damaged the chrome on the T logo. I went to Tesla to complain but they said: "You have more than 1200 miles, not our problem". OK, how much to replace the logo then? "You have to replace the airbag".

So my wife suggested nail polish:

The pink stuff prevents the nail polish from adhering to the rest of the wheel

It's hard to appreciate how sparkly the polish is w/o movement, but in the sun it's dazzling

Obviously you need to do your nails as well - they have to match.

Complain about .... what?

Warranties cover manufacturing defects, not us loose nuts behind the wheel. :)

Not quite the durability I was looking for.

@dmurphy I didn’t expect it to be cheaply made and so expensive to repair.

@Naftaturbo Wow, that post was right after I got my car 2 years ago. What a flashback. It’s not so precious any more, but still not a fan of the corvette... other than the ‘57 that I detailed my Tesla to look like.
