Is Tesla is the only one that doesn’t have a grill?
I don’t know if my volt actually has openings but it does have the grill. Totally cool looking -_-
- rahoulb 9y agoThe Hyundai Ioniq electric has a stupid grey panel (regardless of body colour) where the grill would go which makes it stand out. On the hybrid versions this is the grill but on the pure electric they could have made it body-coloured or a fake grill.
- greglindahl 9y agoTesla's cars have cooling grills in the front, they're down low and small enough that people don't notice them.

- blacksmith_tb 9y agoMy Prius Prime selectively opens and closes the front grille for cooling vs. aerodynamics[1] which is clever, but I will have to hope its front sensors save me from ever damaging it... 1: http://toyotanews.pressroom.toyota.com/releases/nyas+toyota+prius+prime+debut.htm http://toyotanews.pressroom.toyota.com/releases/nyas+toyota+...
