I saw a "Honda" Model 3 recently that confused me for a minute.

It was badged as a Honda Civic and made me laugh hysterically

Should've stuck a grille sticker on it

The Model 3 (and Y)'s blank front opens up tons of possibilities

I’ve replaced all of mine with Star War rebel alliance logos.

As an EV enthusiast, lemme tell you, don't let anyone give you shit for driving a Tesla

I'm sure you're one of those who are able to separate the creator from the creation (although in this case, Elmo DIDN'T even create any of the models aside from the Cyberyuck, he just takes all the credit from the engineers and the designers)

I absolutely can separate the two. I’m just trying to not get keyed or spray painted. Luckily, where I live there are so many of the cyber dumpsters that people are more focused on hating on those.

My 23 Bolt's hotspot SSID is 93 Honda Civic and it never fails to give me a sensible chucke

I legitimately am considering debadging and putting Civic Hybrid badges on. Because I think it would be funny. A 4.0 second Civic Hybrid. The main thing keeping me from doing it is the thought of having to undo it when I decide to sell. Badges are easy to remove but hard to put on (perfectly). Each letter in the "dual motor" badge is separate. Yikes. And I prefer mostly-stock cars.
