    I don’t think I’ve had any cars tell you which model they are on the back. It’s usually opt-out for most brands and for every car I’ve owned, the first owner has opted out. Maybe my first car, an Audi 80, had a model designation. If not, it had an engine designation at least. But the rest haven’t had either.

      I have no idea what you’re talking about. Other than Teslas, I almost never see a model of car that doesn’t tell me its model:

      This is a BMW i8. I can tell, because it says BMW and i8 on the back:

      This is a Honda Accord. I can tell, because it says Honda and Accord on the back:

      This is a Tesla. I can tell because it says Tesla on the back.

      What model Tesla? Well, guess I’ll have to go look that up when I’m not driving.

        Badge delete is always an option on higher end cars. I didn’t have a badge on my M135i. Who the fuck cares what car I’m driving anyway, if they want me to advertise they product my fee is 100€ a month. Same with logos on t-shirts.
