    The flat front of a Tesla doesn't look at all aerodynamic to me and would collect a disproportionate share of chips and bugs on country roads.

    The computer screen stuck on the dash in a Tesla (and other EVs) always looks like an afterthought to me; very clunky and cheap looking like the stuck-on instrument binnacle in the early Falcons. Putting it in the middle is just lazy; avoids the need to make LHD and RHD versions, and also distracting for the driver as it takes his gaze further from the road and makes the information less accessible. Yes I like switches, dials and levers; they are tactile and easier to find and use than the same functions on a screen.

    Not sure why the larger Teslas remind me of a hearse; I drive a small car and when I come up behind one of the larger SUVs in traffic the back looks so tapered as if shaped for a coffin - sorry.
