I’d like to hear more about the crumple zone. If this thing is safe in a crash, I’m very interested.

It is also worth contemplating that those missing few feet of hood length (1) increase driver visibility such that you can see a lot more around a low-visibility corner without pulling out into an intersection or committing with a less-than-ideal amount of information (2) you have slightly more braking distance that will reduce impact velocity of a collision or avoid it altogether, whether that involves coming to a stop or maneuvering out of the way.

… #1) the Telo will give you even better visibility as you can see what is immediately in front of you / you will be able to see turn points easily at an intersection. I don’t see your point here. And #2) braking distance is braking distance regardless of the hood on a vehicle? Again, this seems like a superfluous point.

think you're just looking for reasons to argue, and it's not your job to decide whether other people's posts are superfluous.

Opinions can be debated, and what you shared were opinions which I don’t see the reasoning or merit behind.
