Quantum computers are coming online right now.

For takeoff and landing,(landing only for the Space Shuttle) the builders rely on lift-due-to-vorticity enveloping the wings upper surface.
The downwards-sloped greenhouse and tumblehome of Cybertruck could be intentionally tuned to produce some magnitude of bounded edge vorticity, which would act for transverse shearing flow,as an attached transverse vortice would for longitudinal flow;providing phantom 'flying-buttress' radii, for which slow,high-pressure flank flow could bleed into the fast,low-pressure upper flow descending the 'aeroshell' downslope,without triggering massive,drag-producing longitudinal vortices.It would be invisible to the naked eye,like the nose/frunk,and roof apex vortices.
I hope Tesla's aero team will publish and talk at the SAE Congress.
