Add mirrors, jacked up suspension and smaller wheels, and the Cd is no longer 0.22.

So little panels slide out of the rear slots and make this a super efficient shapeshifter? Why can't the panels be stationary, reducing complexity?

OK, it's nice that there is yet another prototype built for efficiency, and it'll be even better if it makes it to production, but I think there is too much hype in the article. I thought the shape shifting would change at least half of the car's shape. Interesting, though.
