I have fond memories of rolling across the expansive hood of an 80's lincoln as it rolled through a stop sign in southern california. My bike was fine, but the proud square badge left a superficial scrape across my abdomen. Otherwise uninjured, with an awesome 'scar' to show my friends, I thought it was awesome. Surely, a solidly affixed one may have proven disasterous. I was less excited when a schoolbus did the same. Dispite conforming to none of the modern safety standards, I had no cool scar, just the terror of nearly being thrown under bus tires.
Not sure what that says for the Tesla, or modern suv/cuvs in general.
Also, the actual bumpers have been invisible, as they now hide behind plastic facias. No cars have metal front ends anymore for pedestrian safety. Even hoods have a required clerance above the engine, hence the recent high hooline trend. Not sure how the electric truck will handle that gracefully.
