I know they don’t have a grill due to not having a radiator and it being more aerodynamic, but replacing it with a flat sheet of plastic or metal doesn’t seem like the best way to go about it. If aerodynamics were the main goal wouldn’t the air that hits the nose make it less efficient? It makes sense to me to shrink down the front bumper as much as possible or create vents that give the air a more efficient path. Is it purely an aesthetic thing?

It’s partly aesthetic since people expect cars to look a certain way and have the shape of a grille, also there is pedestrian safety laws that prohibit sharp wedge shaped cars.
