  I give a brief introduction to and explain the geometry of teleparallel
models of modified gravity. In particular I explain why, in my opinion, the
covariantised approaches are not needed and the Weitzenb\"ock connection is the
most natural representation of the parallel transport structure. An interesting
point is that it also applies to the symmetric teleparallel case. I also share
my thoughts on why the teleparallel framework does not seem to be a next rung
in the ladder of understanding the real worlds' gravity. At the same time,
these theories do have a clear and justified academic interest to them.
