A Tesla service center unintentionally installed the wrong badge on my early production performance Model 3, so come along as I share the debadging process with you. As usual, be very careful if you're going to attempt any aspect of the process described in this video--I am not responsible for any damage you may cause to your vehicle. Proceed at your own risk.

I'm happy to see that you followed up with polish and sealant! A lot of people forget that important step.

@yeahbuddy92193911 3 года назад

What is considered great polish and sealant brand?

@BecauseTesla 3 года назад

@@yeahbuddy92193911 Most modern brands will be fine these days. Research the car detailer channels to see what they recommend. I use off the shelf stuff like Meguires or Mothers...sometimes I'll use Chemical Guys if I can find it locally. For sealant (car wax) it is best to stick with the same type (synthetic/non-synthetic). For example, if you've been using carnauba wax, then don't use a synthetic wax on top of it. Use another natural non-synthetic type of wax. If you want to strip off the wax and start with a different type, then that's ok. These are just rules of thumb...so just take it for what it is from an old guy that's been working on cars for a few decades now.

Good to know its an easy process to remove badges and to seal it when you're done is good info too.

Not far off getting a model 3 performance. I will be removing ALL badging, including the Tesla T front and back. I’ve just always preferred the look of cars debadged.

I’m digging your Covid hairstyle, Alex! My hair was last cut last March.

@AlexVenz 4 года назад

It was getting to be a bit much, so I cut it again little while after recording this video

The 3m adhesive removal wheel is amazing for jobs like this. It's about 35$ but it's shocking how well it works

Alex. FYI. The AV Mall Tesla Supercharger 250 kW is now open from friends that told me.

@AlexVenz 3 года назад

Yeah, I spotted that in the Antelope Valley Tesla Owners Facebook group 👍 I'll have to give it a go soon.

@RealRusty 2 года назад

Thanks for the tips, Alex! Going to replace my broken Tesla Logo on the back of my Model 3 now :)

@mitchellbarnow1709 4 года назад

There’s something about that font that makes it look like the cheap plastic that they all are. I was glad to be rid of it before my paint protection film and ceramic coating.

@LarryRichelli 2 года назад

I sure wish there was a "PERFORMANCE" badge for the model 3

@donaldmoe3286 4 года назад

Since my silver Model 3 DM did not come with the dual motor badge, I asked the Tesla service to put it on during a service visit. I also added a “Model 3” badge from Abstract Ocean, so that it mimics the badging on the S and X and thus looks more complete to my eye. The whole “stealth” aspect is just not my style. To each his/her own... 😉

@TrendyStone 3 года назад

That's a lot of words on the back of your car.

@@TrendyStone - I like to promote my Tesla to other drivers who may wonder and not recognize the Tesla “T”.

@mitchellbarnow1709 4 года назад

Did they not install the red underline beneath the dual motor badge because of your official membership in the Stealth Performance Club?

@AlexVenz 4 года назад

They didn't install the red underline because they forgot it was a performance model. The service center folks offered to put the red underline on to complete the badge, but I didn't have them do it because I just don't like the badge. I also feel like it's weird to put a trim level badge on a car that didn't include a badge from the factory... these early cars that were delivered without badges are, in a way, a part of the chaotic history of Tesla.

@cuntman7411 Год назад

very... useful video

@tylers2123 3 года назад

Every car I've debadged I just spray Goo gone let it sit for 1 minute and peel off the badges

@brucehawkinson8901 2 года назад

Getting my model 3 wrapped with xpel, some shops say to not take the badges off, others say they will. What are your thoughts? I just think with a white car, if you wrap around the badges, you have a exposed edges that dirt can collect

@darren4635 Год назад

why wouldn't you just use turpentine to remove the tape gum ?

@2xChampion 3 года назад

This method holds true for a 2021 M3?

@Julie-uo8wg 2 года назад

But WHY do u want to remove it?

@AlexVenz 2 года назад

My performance Model 3 is an early car, so it was delivered without trim level badging and I prefer to keep it that way. Also, without asking, the service center put the wrong trim badging on the car when I brought it in for service.
