It looks like the basic shape could be pretty aerodynamic, but it's all straight lines. It makes me think Tesla had two things on their mind: (1) "Look, we can make it aerodynamic and angular" and (2) "This will be much easier to stamp." It's very different from the other Teslas, which are very curvy. I doubt Tesla neglected aerodynamics on this plaid version, whatever that is. It looks better than the regular Cybertruck (I didn't compare, so maybe they're very similar), but I don't care for the flared fenders.

* Ehh, it looks the same except for the flares.
