[–] IamAnonymous@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago (2 children) Which car apart from Tesla doesn’t have a model name badge? Just curious. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] Localhorst86@feddit.org 2 points 2 years ago* (1 child) Mine is a Mercedes, but I have observed this on most cars around here that are younger than ~5 years. Just today when biking to work, almost any newer Mercedes, BMW, VW or Skoda didn't have a model badge on the back. KIA and Hyundai were like 50/50. The exception for BMW seems to be their electric vehicles, which were all badged with their model. Also something I have noticed is that "performance badges" (AMG, STI, M, GTI etc.) don't seem to be affected by this - they often remain on the car. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] boonhet@lemm.ee 2 points 2 years ago The model badges have been opt-out on the Germans for ages. My W211 didn't have them and I'm pretty sure you could opt out of it on older models too. permalink fedilink source parent [–] ben_dover@lemmy.ml 2 points 2 years ago (1 child) i have a bmw that came without any, it's an "extra" you can order for most cars permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Tja@programming.dev 2 points 2 years ago Zero cost option usually. permalink fedilink source parent
