Here's the offending line from GCR:

Musk has said the Cybertruck will achieve a drag coefficient of 0.30, a significant improvement on the Ram 1500, which currently leads the pickup pack with a 0.35 Cd.
The first three words hyperlink back to their article from Dec. 5, 2019, where they reported on Musk's tweet:

Quote:
With extreme effort, Cybertruck might hit a 0.30 drag coefficient, which would be insane for a truck.
Thus the official word is still "might" hit 0.30 "with extreme effort."
