  1. That front brake has a radial mount caliper as have been used on high performance bikes for years.

  2. That smooth underbody must be a significant boost to to the overall aerodynamics. pretty much impossible on an ICE car as there is too much waste heat to extract from engine, exhaust, etc.

  3. I would like to have seen Tesla go to hydraulic suspension steering and brakes along the lines of Citroen. The old cars used engine power to drive a small hydraulic pump. This controlled ride height and suspension compliance giving an intrinsically controlled with extremely smooth ride. The same hydraulics powered the brakes (no brake fluid) and smaller brakes because of the higher clamping power. Steering was also hydraulic giving good driver feedback.
