We knew the 3 would look like a more squat version of the big Model S,
but what's particularly striking upon your first glance at the car is
that Tesla has foregone the grille entirely. The S and X grilles are
entirely cosmetic, since an EV doesn't actually need one. Still, it's a
bit jarring to see the smoothed-over front end. They other styling
details, from the big rims to the red color of the debut model, are
typically Tesla.
