With the truck 'dropped',we may be glimpsing Tesla passenger car silhouettes of the near future.With edge softening,they'll get below Cd 0.2.Easy!
The one they were giving rides in had a glass roof and the tonneau either wasn't installed at all or rolled up because you could see out the back window. It also didn't look like there was room between the top of the back window and the rear of the glass roof for it to be rolled up there. So either it rolls all the way up and then down lower than the back window or that prototype was tonneau less.
