Half of them say what make and model they are on the back. That's what those plastic words glued to them are. ๐คทโโ๏ธ
Exactly, and you can usually guess the model year within a few years, simply by looking at the styling characteristics of the vehicle. It's not too difficult to tell if a car came from the first half or second half of the 90s, for example.
I do notice a lot more made in the last couple years not having any identifying markings. So many EVs that don't even have a company logo on them (sometimes even Teslas don't due to how they are made; it really depends on the day the car was built).
Every car comes with badging.
It's not hard to take them off. I'm fairly certain the Tesla's are being removed by the owners or haters
There are also the times the worker didn't put it on or put it on wrong during assembly and it fell off before even going out to the customer. I worked at the Fremont plant; this was pretty common. It's also why I would not own one even if Musk wasn't a huge douche nozzle; they're put together like shit by underpaid contractors and robots that break down every minute and a half.
