Actually I think, the 911 shape is a great shape for an electric sports car, and that it is not a coincidence, that the Model 3 has some very remote similarities. The 911 is designed as a very aerodynamic car, enabled by the rear engine. As there is no engine in the front, the front part is very low and without a large cooler, consequently without the dominating grille. For good aerodynamics you want low fronts and a very smooth shape. The rear part of the 911 is constantly declining with basically no vertical section at the end, also great for aerodynamics. Picking up these aerodynamic features would completely make sense for an electric car - the rear won't be completely filled by the engine but allow for a trunk.
