So, I don't know much about cars, but I generally expected for that part to be flush with the body. Is there any reason for there to be a grill like thing in front of the front door?

I support your answer with my basic knowlede of car aerodynamics. Since this duct is so small, i highly doubt it has a significant or even measurable effect. Brake cooling would make sense though especially in a sporty electric vehicles that often suffer from brake overheating.

Isn't most of the braking going to be done by the regenerative braking system rather than the pads and rotors?
