Originally planned on keeping the de-badged minimalist look, but I decided to put mine on last week and I think I'll keep them. The small font size is what sold me... just subtle enough to add a hint of sportiness without being obnoxious.

All the aftermarket badges are too "in your face" and pretty cheesy looking to me, and no one will know what P3D+ means anyways, so would just cause confusion. Obviously very subjective, and I might take them off after a while, but here's what my factory badges look like (color matched them with my emblems/trim/wheels).

@FlyNavy01 - how much oregon wine country do you see in FL? ;)
Not enough! Haha it was great going back home for the holidays, the flatness of Florida can be quite boring to drive :confused: but at least the plates let me represent my Pacific NW roots down here.

Interesting thread, I didn't realize you have to request the badge and have it fitted. I thought I would be contacted when it was available. I'm looking to have my tires swapped out anyway, so will ask.

Has anyone got their spoiler?
 
my car didn't have it.. but when I took it in for another service issue
they added it.. I wasn't asked if I wanted it and was told afterwards that
it was installed... I also there are 2 different duel motor badges depending
on which model you have (regular dual motor or high performance duel motor)..
I think one is underlined and the other not...but I might be wrong...

You are correct, matches the information on the Screen. Performance has the red underline.
 
Performance has the red underline.
Well, THAT'S intuitively obvious to the most casual of observers. EVERYONE will know exactly what the red line signifies... (heavy sarcasm emoji)
 
Are rangers installing dual motor badges?
 
In my area...YES
It's approaching zero F here, so suspect we'd need to be well above freezing, or own a heated garage, for a Ranger to agree.
 
Are rangers installing dual motor badges?
Yes. In my case, ranger came out for other work and had the badge without me ever requesting it.

Warning: Make sure your car is clean before the ranger installs the badge. My car was dirty and the ranger scratched it up installing the badge :mad:. Looks like he wiped down that area with a dry rag before installing it. Now I have an appointment at a service center to see if they can buff out the scratches.

Took my car in for the closest TESLA service center by my house today, ended up they are not yet a full service center, so they don’t have those badges in stock. I’m getting rear wheel arch inner lining checked, driver side kind of poked out a bit, and a free car wash. They gave me a brand new Model S 75D as loaner. The acceleration on S75D is definitely slower than my dual motor M3, mostly I think is due to the extra weight of the S.

Anyone know if those full blown service center have the Dual Motor badge in stock?

I just called TESLA they told me a service center will call me when the badge assigned to my car is available for install. They said when I picked up my car back in November the badges are back ordered, but there is one assigned to me when he checked his computer. Guess I would have to wait for it.
 
I saw a local black M3 in ND and it had the badge. Made me want one.

I ordered the DM badge from my Service Center today. Should arrive in a couple of days. We'll see if I end up having it installed. Thing is... I get the idea of it being needless to badge it and say "I have 2 motors and you don't." But lately I keep looking at my car from behind (from my office window) and find it to be kinda bland. Maybe that tiny badge will help me with that. To me, if the design of the front of the car is a 10, the design of the rear is like a 4.
So you had to order them? What I was told by Tesla is the badges are slowly arriving at service center to backfill the dual motor cars which already taken delivery but didn't have the badges when delivered.
 
Mine did not have the badge when I took delivery. However I DO plan to have it installed. Heading up to Tahoe/Truckee when there is snow, they will allow 4-wheel drive vehicles without chains at chain inspection points. Why hassle trying to explain?
