Why would you have a grill when you don’t have any need for it?
- mhh__ 6y agoThat's my point, though, the front doesn't need to be that shape any more, do something else (i.e. what Porsche have done with the Taycan, which just tapers all the way down to the number plate).
- rorykoehler 6y agoSorry I misunderstood. Of all the recently released cars the Mercedes EQS is the only one that is obviously doing what you complain about.

- rorykoehler 6y agoThe ev car grills are aesthetic only. They are sealed.
- kingsuper20 6y agoI'm simply giving reasons why an EV might have a front air intake with a grill. Given the location of this stuff, I could easily see some cars using the area-formerly-used-for-the-radiator for other things. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xax1HmVPKZY https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xax1HmVPKZY
- Tagbert 6y agoPartially because people may feel like something is not right. Like seeing a face without a nose. It can feel creepy. The Tesla model 3 has a weird looking front end that can be off putting to some people. The model S seems a little more familiar. EU pedestrian crash regulations push manufacturers toward having a crush zone in front and that area can look bland if there aren’t some visual detailing across it.
