Like I said, I like the aerodynamic properties of the car. They will have to add mirrors if they want any US customers, and I wonder what the Cd will be then. The Model 3 is 0.23, which isn't too shabby. I'd take the slightly worse aero design to pay nearly $100k less, while also having a higher performing car that charges very quickly on the most extensive DCFC network in the US.
