The Model 3 nose will most likely conform with the family 'face'
The official refreshed nose for the Model S shows a rhinoplasty. Instead of the fashionable 'angry nose/grille' of contemporary designs, Tesla family goes for a pinched pixie-look.

Agreed. It screams as loudly as some of the more outrageous "fish mouth" and "predator" grilles on other brands. The oval was tasteful. |

I think I posted this in the other thread already...
But the hatch will be on the "crossover" based on the Model 3 platform, which will ultimately be the more popular bodystyle, going by current sales trends. |

FYI, the trunk is in the front, no need to waste money on 2 trunks.

Front trunks are great for one crowd:
But not, say, 99% of us:
In addition to real, usable storage space, hatches are more versatile...
