I think the shell was designed in mind due to ICE cars keying Tesla's. Now at least you won't see the damage now
The other thing is the charging port still in the back looking like a fuel door. They should have figured out by now to put it in the front so you can park head in at super chargers. Every other EV has it in the front. Especially if you're towing you don't have to remove the trailer to charge.
Well production probably won't start till 20Forever so many be changes will be made prior to production because I thought the same thing.
