I'm assuming it's pretty decent compared to typical truck design. Could be better with radiused curves instead of sharp ones, but maybe it didn't affect efficiency too severely.

He says that his reason for not sharing the drag coefficient was,that he had a low confidence in accurately modeling of the wheel openings, and how that might impact drag.
My SWAG is sub-0.30.I got Spirit to maybe 0.218 with the boat-tail,and 0.297 without ,but as a BEV (sealed cooling inlet). I'll be very surprised if the Tesla comes in at over 0.3.And we know from the Porsche 914 wind tunnel testing what the influence ground clearance can make.The Cybertruck has an 'ideal' belly and in the 'lowered' position,could come in below most passenger cars.And with aftermarket add-ons,approaching the best concept cars.
It's a coup.And with mods,a coup de grace.
