Ill give you $200 for the battery, the motor, and some chonky relays if you scrape the branding off.
I saw pics of someone that rebadged their model 3 I think it was with an Audi badge, and if you knew nothing about cars it looked believable.
I saw one with the Mazda logo that looks pretty good
I reckon the Mazda badge is a good call as the tesla 3 has the vibe of a Mazda I think.
I rmemeber rocking up to guys place to buy a sofa and his mum was there, I said I really liked her Hyundai Coupe and she said it wasn't one as she'd got different badges on it. Found it so funny that it was a nice looking car at the time but she clearly couldn't cope with the idea of owning a Hyundai
There's a lot of cars where even a car nut wouldn't pick they'd been badge swapped.
Most hatchbacks you can only tell apart by the shape of the lights.
