Lowest drag
coefficient ever offered for sale in North America, not lowest
drag. If I'm not mistaken, that honor still belongs to the original Honda Insight by virtue of its small cross-sectional area (it's a full 3" shorter and 7" narrower than the Model 3).
ETA: I remembered, and double-checked just now, that Tesla now advertises C
D .23 for the Model S as well, while the Model X has been bumped up to C
D .25 with the fixed spoiler.
