As an A&P, trust me, this is drag coefficient, and much smoother ride than my Sister's model S.
Beautiful from any angle.

I always imaged a Newt's head, but still, ugly from any angle.
There are uglier cars for sure, but....yuck.

Engineering explained video

Why when towing Long distance heavy a Less aerodynamic EV Truck is more efficient towing most trailers.

In the comparison the Chevy EV truck is more tuned for towing than the Cybertruck. Also with an over 200KWH battery the range is almost in the usable category, but still nowhere near an HD diesel.

Gale is always taking about the ICE downward spiral so I was surprised to see the same terminology used with an EV.

"China's booming EV market heading towards a downward spiral (WION)"

MSN

More about Tesla's sales decline in China as Chinese ICE sales death spiral accelerates meaning sale of new ICE vehicles will become less than 50% of new car sales perhaps later this year but the dumping of ICE inventory may hurt EV sales in the short run.

EVs Are Much Lower-Emitting Than Combustion Cars

Electric vehicles’ lifecycle emissions can be 70% lower than gasoline and diesel vehicles, BNEF finds in a new analysis.

I was under the impression no one here bought an EV for pollution reasons, it was for the high tech, speed, to impress (?)...CO2 emissions last on list.

I think that is often the case. I wanted an EV for all the technical reasons but bottom line is being able to gas up in my driveway without using gas while saving cash and not supporting dictators.

Do you realize this is an EV thread and that neither part of your comment is applicable to this thread?

Buying gas does not support dictators. Are you having another bad day Gale?

Is CO2 a pollutant? It’s what all animals including humans exhale in our breath to live. It’s what plants require to grow. Plant life flourishes under high CO2, and warm temperatures.
What’s the real endgame going on here?
