As for something probable, I would like to see an affordable vehicle that goes deeper into low-drag territory (0.20-0.23).

Tesla Model 3 To Aim For 0.20 Drag Coefficient: Report

Quote:
Tesla is aiming for a drag coefficient below 0.20 for the Model 3, according to Electrek, which cites an anonymous source who is not a Tesla employee, but a friend of one.

That figure is significantly lower than the 0.24 of the Model S, and could make the Model 3 among the most aerodynamic vehicles in mass production.

Now I'm *really* looking forward to the March debut.
