Don't tempt fate....
ETA: Musk promised Cd .21 for the Model 3, and the production car ended up Cd .23 or .24, depending on which news source reported it. The Volt 2 ended up the same Cd as the Volt I; the 4th gen Prius is only marginally lower drag than the 3rd gen, and the Prius Prime has the same Cd as the 3rd gen. Mercedes said in 2009 that within 5 years all their cars would be Cd .20 or less; currently, only the E-class (.23) and CLA (.22) come even close, and that only in Europe-specific efficiency submodels. I don't expect much from Nissan.
