I bought a Tesla in 2019 - back when it was the Eco conscious car nerd choice, and before he started skewing right.

I liked it so much I got solar for my house from Tesla, along with multiple powerwalls.

Frankly, the car has been an embarrassment to take out into the world for the last three or four years.

With him outing himself as an outright nazi, yesterday I spent fifteen minutes with a heat gun, dental floss, and Goo Gone debadging my car.

I’m profoundly not ok with giving the impression that I am ok with Musk’s abhorrent behavior.

I hope you either:

(A) design your own replacement logo (perhaps something subversive), or

(B) stick on a logo from another brand... Maybe an old British/Euro brand? Or a brand associated with gas-guzzlers. Or an old-school rainbow Apple logo.

Funny you should say this– I'm working on that right now. :-)

I've had a complete Mazda 3 badge set from Fleabay in a drawer in my garage that I ordered when he first started skewing right. I picked those because, if you squint right, it kind of resembles a Mazda 3 (and nobody is going to give it a second thought once they see Mazda badges).

Just downloaded from Thingiverse files for blank wheel center caps for the car and, separately, the Mazda logo. Caps are printing now.

Aiming for stealth rather than activism with the de- and re-badging. Activism is for other venues.

Cool. I occasionally use cryptic branding/marking to cloak valuables as something undesirable to steal.

Why don't you just sell the car? seems silly imho
