Definitely think that looks better. The way Tesla has done it just makes the hood look misaligned. Or like they've used the Model S hood by accident. Something just looks completely wrong.

O.k. - I'm just playing here and I'm a Photoshop hack, but some ideas (for fun)...
A "falcon" hood, to go with the wing doors:
...and a more smoothed hood (not too crazy about how it came out, after all - but what the heck)
also increased the ground 'scoop' size in both.

The more mock-ups I see the more I realize how good a job Franz did with the front end. Really looks great, especially next to other cars (like in the Model X sightings thread where Elon is demo-ing his car) or next to the Model S where the nosecone looks like a vestigial grill blob/stub. No need to anthropomorphize the front into an oval nose -- that makes it look like a cartoon car.

In the rendering above, notice the red paint on the lower front bumper makes the vehicle look fully finished.Someone posted this here awhile back.
Compare the difference in the photos above that look like the front of the Red Model X has been placed on a dark grey flatbed on wheels.A few of my pics from the event...
Lighting is critical in these photos and because of the higher profile of Model X, a painted lower bumper might likely increase the vertical bulk. However, Elon's black Model X vehicle looks extremely well proportioned in one color. As I read the thread tonight, the photos above stood out as the only concern. What I saw tonight was not recognized at the Launch Event or in the photos that I took that night since my only photos of the vehicle front were of Elon's perfect appearing Model X.

I think someone will apply wrap with shark teeth to complete what Tesla left out:tongue:I like the new nose. Gives the X a no-nonsense-i-mean-business look.

i doubt Musk worries about cheep. Think lowest drag coefficient. It's the same as the model S.

So, after several weeks I will revise my earlier statement. I think the new front looks great in all colors, but white. I'm actually confused as to why they keep showing white on the website, and in presentations.
The wife really likes the Deep Blue, so that's probably what we'll be going with. I would be happy with the Blue, Titanium, or Black...all look excellent, IMHO.

Lol someone just disagreed with my post from 2015 on page one of this thread
That is pretty funny. However much as I hate to say it....I kinda disagree too!
Was driving an S when I first saw a giant poster at a Service Center of the new nose.
Immediately started plotting to get one.

Oh yeah. For sure. I don’t even remember what the prototype nose looked like anymore. Front end looks fine to me now.
