Good point. In fact most rear and md engine cars have very clean, attractive front ends. The Tesla non-grill grill makes no sense.

I'm also tired of reading wide-eyed articles in the press about how the tesla's front end looks the way it does because there's "no engine there!!"...as if it's a new thing.

I love tesla but I find it a bit nauseating when they are given credit for innovating stuff that's been around for years. Pretty sure they could convince people that they invented disc brakes if they wanted to.
