Technically nothing is preventing toy from installing the grille or a plow. Other than range of course and perhaps added cost on top.

It all hinges on the accessibility of a sturdy frame that can absurd large impacts.

We won't know until it ships, but the front looks plasticky/crumble-zone-ey, and I'm not sure if Tesla would settle for a simple ladder frame.

I often experience absurd impacts when I crash into reality.

Need to get yourself a bigger reality catcher on your grill.

Since installing airbags the problem has been lessened, but a reality catcher sounds like a great augmentation to my vehicle.
