notice in the video I liked below, the entire front of the Tesla is M-I-S-S-I-N-G. The lack of an engine up front contributed to James Dean dying in a Porsche. No engine up front = no protection. This Tesla folded up like the piece of cardboard it is.
Physics 101.
Why an engine up front is a good thing:

Same principal is why James Dean was killed in a crash involving his Porsche 550. Mid Engine Porsche 550, great race car, not so good when the car was involved in a head on collision.
