Former chief of design at General Motors, Wayne Cherry, applauded Franz von Holzhausen's restraint with Tesla's design, by not making the cars 'look' like electric cars.
Cherry used ' safe', 'conservative', ' beautifully executed', ' design-enhancing proportions', 'stance', 'harmony' to describe Tesla.
Cherry did feel that Holzhausen had missed an opportunity to use the nose to establish 'brand identity.'
Nissan's Director of Design showed no restraint with the nose of the Infiniti Q30, which Jens Meiners of CAR and DRIVER remarked, resembled a, ' catfish-with-cheeks-full-of-golf-balls'.
Personally, Tesla's spartan forward architecture has firmly established the marque's 'signature' by default.
