how can i make the datetime column set to empty in view

when the view is loading , the tax date column is always showing with the value '01/01/0001 00:00:00' untill  the date selected from datepicker. How can I set the datetime value set to null when the view is loaded.

This is model

public class Vehicles
    {
        [Key]
        public int Id { get; set; }
        public string Make { get; set; }
        public string Model { get; set; }
        public string RegNo { get; set; }
        public string VehicleName {get;set;}
        public DateTime TaxDate { get; set; }
        public DateTime RegDate { get; set; }         
    }

controller

 public async Task<IActionResult> UpsertVehicle(int? vehicleId)
        {


            VehicleVM vehiclesVM = new VehicleVM();
           
           
            return View(vehiclesVM);
        }

view

<form asp-controller="Vehicle"
      asp-action="UpsertVehicle"
      data-ajax="true"
      data-ajax-method="POST"
      data-ajax-mode="replace"
      data-ajax-update="#content"
