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
I sure hope so.
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.
For sure they are hiding the shape. I still wouldn't bet there's a reasonably shaped front end under there.
Are you saying they're hiding a gently sloping hood under there?
Especially since the sole reason for that bullshit is skirting fuel mileage requirements.
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.
our BYD has a 360 camera which is beyond fantastic
seems likes it designed to entice would be f150 customers.
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".
