My car doesn't have the model or engine size written on the back either, this is not exclusive to Tesla (although, depending on the make it might be an option to remove it when buying a car).
The manufacturer badge is usually enough, in my opinion. If you can't identify the model on the spot, as long as you can identify the brand and want to learn about the specific model you saw, you'll hit their website or dealership and identify it there. And with a brand like Tesla, that only has 5 fairly distinct models, it should be fairly easy to retroactively point out the model you saw - compared to a brand like BMW for example.
Which car apart from Tesla doesn’t have a model name badge? Just curious.
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.
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.
i have a bmw that came without any, it's an "extra" you can order for most cars
Zero cost option usually.
Unless even the brand logo is unintelligible
