Didn't someone have a picture of a Tesla in the wild with a bumper sticker that read something like: "I bought this before I knew Elon was a complete idiot."
I've seen that sticker in person, multiple times.
Also seen a few Teslas that were completely debranded.
Unfortunately, debadging is a pretty common thing in the car community regardless of how well liked the car is
I see it on a lot of BMWs
Option from the factory.
And then you get people who not only have the premium badges but also a license plate that say the cars make or model AND a frame around the plate that also says it lul. I see it all the time in Cali. I want to de badge my car, mostly cause if they want me to advertise for them they should be paying me. It's just that the front and back badges are indented Into the car and I haven't found any replacements I like. I also haven't found any custom maker online, maybe I just need to commission a 3d printer to try something for me.
Lol, my Chevy bolt was debranded when I bought it.
Didn't realize that. Purely anecdotally, I don't recall seeing any debadged cars other than Teslas out on the road, but it's not like I've been looking for them.
Why is it unfortunate? I don't see how someone debadging their own vehicle is a negative, in anyway. Maybe the car manufacturer, itself, would lose some free advertising, but I don't see how that's a problem.
Debranded? Nice. I dislike that modern cars are covered in logos and tacky chrome symbols and words. Give me a nice plain car with nothing but paint on the outside.
someone needs to make some car badges that have the same style and size as the T logo to replace them with. maybe a big 'F' for Fucklas or something
Buying that for my neighbor. We're both Jews. Called him out last year and he acknowledged it but they bought the car a while ago.
