Actually the "forward cab" configuration has some advantages. I loved my '68 Chevy Van which had the front wheels directly under the driver's seat. While it did take some getting used to, it made visibility at "blind" corners much better because you were sitting much closer to the intersection.I hate the Tesla truck design. It puts the driver almost over the front wheels. If you consider the design of most vehicles, the driver is between the front and rear wheels. This puts the driver into a rocking chair meaning that bumps in the road pivot the vehicle under the driver making the ride smoother.
What you had to get used to is that you had to turn later than you're used to. The first few corners has you running over the curb.
