MKBHD did a test drive and apparently you just cannot see the end of the nose from the driver's seat. What a terrible design with no thought to the safety of anyone.

What a terrible design with no thought [...]
So, like every Tesla vehicle?
-
Isn't that the case with most modern cars due to the downward sloping hoods?

Maybe I phrased that wrong. You can't see where the hood ends, so there is no sense of how much is in front of you. Most vehicles you can see where it drops off

“Unlike Europe, the U.S. doesn’t require cars be tested for safety before they are allowed to be sold to the public,” said David Zipper, a visiting fellow at Harvard University’s Kennedy School whose work focuses on transportation policy.
“We let car companies decide for themselves when it’s safe,” he explained.
I'm sorry, what???

self-regulation of industry like this is a lot more common than you'd probably like to think

Look, I applaud them for trying to be unique, but man that has to be the ugliest vehicle I've ever seen. As for concerns about it's safety, I'd be concerned too considering how little space there appears to be between the driver and the front of the vehicle. Also, the last thing you want on a 30mph road is an acceleration pedal that immediately tries to show off how fast it can hit 60mph.
There are no crumple zones. Like, I didn't realize that was even legal.
Of course there are crumple zones. I have no idea why people are parroting this nonsense. Here's a video that explains it:
