If we needed 100% confidence in anything to make a prediction, we'd never get anywhere.
I'm asking Santa to arrange for CAR and DRIVER's Don Sherman to put it in the AeroDyn wind tunnel (I think it's too much frontal area for the A2) in Mooresville,North Carolina,in 2021,and publish the Cd,as they already did for the Tesla Model S. Tesla has published Cds for all their vehicles so far,I presume they'll do it for the Cybertruck,once the production design is 'locked in.' The AeroDyn numbers would be a nice backup for the CFD which I presume Tesla will use again.
The NASCAR truck series better hope to ---l Tesla never enters the competition (with a quick-change pack).It's shape,alone,would sweep the field,as the Chrysler Charger Daytona did in the 60s.
