I understand that electric cars don’t need grilles, but stylistically there’s a much better way to accomplish that than to make it look like Neo when Agent Smith removed his mouth.

It looks alright.

Honestly, I find Tesla’s design language to be getting quite stale.

Integrated rally light bar all the things.

Aerodynamic designs limit the options... Most of the design of most cars is simply wasting energy.

They just need to stop designing it like it has a grill.

As much as they need the code finished that’s running the things?

Gives local Tesla drones the excuse to run without a front plate, too - not that someone in that socio-economic strata would ever get cited for it.

“I understand that electric cars don’t need grilles,”
That’s not even true, they have a grille. See the opening beneath their solid grille?

My only wish is Elon makes an Aptera type car to take advantage of the aero.

Does it though? Why do they make cars with a place where the grill would normally be?
It’s like having a license plate holder in a state like Michigan that doesn’t require one on the front. Tesla’s have grill (place)-holders. It’s WEIRD.
There’s got to be something they can do to not give the impression they Matrix-Neo-Mouth-Removed-The-Grill.

It’ll sell in its current state. So no.
But maybe it’d sell more? That’s really up to Elon & Co.

You have it backwards. They initially didn’t plan to have a grille, but it was too weird/foreign, so they put a fake one on there to make it look more normal. The shape there is due to aero and pedestrian crash safety standards.

You can do perfectly attractive grilleless cars, its been proven many times. Tesla just needs the will.
