I wonder how much of the Tesla's low CD comes from not having an exhaust to mess up undercar flow.
I covered the Tesla because of its exceptionally low drag coefficient... something for example the Cruze doesn't have. The flat underfloor of the Tesla, minus exhaust, would obviously be responsible for some of that low drag.
