    “2017 Stigmata? No, that’s a 2016. Notice the bulb size in the taillight array. In between the switch from 5th Gen to 6th they changed the LED bulb size from 3.3mm to 3.35, so now theres only 58 lights in the upper track.”

      I admit I only know what a Stigmata is because the commercial with the guy with the bleeding hands was cool. Killer ad campaign to release them on Halloween too!

      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
