Idea to "Fix" the Model 3 Front

The lack of a grill was received with mixed reviews so I thought, “What would I do to address this concern?”

I’m lacking Photoshop and time so either the Oppo collective can get on it or Torch has a new topic to write about.

(Turret isn’t completely necessary and likely would be replaced by a railgun because Tesla)

There are 2 ways to fix it.

1. Grille.

2. Restyle it so it doesn’t look like it was designed to have a grille.

More than likely it’ll get a big rectangular piece of plastic mounted dead center, which the front plate will be mounted to.

That should break up the monotony of the 3's bumper a bit.

It’s the second point that makes it look weird.

It looks odd because the front end looks designed to have a grille, but doesn't have one. It looks like they were going to have one but ran out of design budget...

I (tried) adding an aero thing to the front to the ‘hood’ would slope up from the bumper kinda like the Ford GT

In the state I live in, we have to have a front license plate. That stupid plate would probably hide the front enough, making it a none starter.

I always have hoped that Tesla would release a trim level with the 30mm gattling gun as an option. That way, you can mow down all the plebeian gas-powered monstrosities on the way to the golf course.

I grafted the Focus ST grill on it yesterday because it looked like it would fit perfectly in the existing creases on the front.

They probably WERE going to do this to further troll Ford for not giving them the Model E name but decided not to at the last minute. They probably would’ve switched it to TS for Tesla for maximum trollage.

#2 is what bugs the hell out of me. Plenty of cars don’t have grills, but it so clearly looks like one is supposed to be there. It looks like an unfinished kit car.

I had one simple request ....

HFV has no HFV. But somehow has 2 motorcycles > cazzyodo 04/08/2016 at 10:27

I like it just he way it was.

reminds me of the trim on the bumper of the 200 that goes around the lower grille, and under the foglights.
