basic shape

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.
Now your question is improving!
The basic shape of Cybertruck is an industry leader.It will be the lowest drag pickup ever offered for sale or lease.
In reality,there's not a 'straight' surface on Cybertruck,except for its belly.
The 'Plaid' version shown,with extreme wheelhouse mutilation would be an entirely different proposition.I give it four thumbs down.
