It’d be nice of someone told them you don’t need that big pedestrian smasher grill on an ev.
It almost looks like they have framing to obscure the true shape under the tarps
For sure they are hiding the shape. I still wouldn't bet there's a reasonably shaped front end under there.
I sure hope so.
Are you saying they're hiding a gently sloping hood under there?
It's definitely foam blocks to obscure the shape. We use them for camo all the time.
That's my impression of the photos too.
I hate how bad the visibility is in new cars. Tiny windows. Massive hoods. Huge blindspots.
They probably have a frunk up there. But they could have sacrificed a cubic foot and sloped it down for safety and efficiency.
seems likes it designed to entice would be f150 customers.
our BYD has a 360 camera which is beyond fantastic
Pickup buyers want intimidating asshole designs.
You dont need it on ICE either.
You do if you want to evade American passenger car emission and pedestrian safety regulations since it's a "light truck".
Especially since the sole reason for that bullshit is skirting fuel mileage requirements.
