I still think it was just a cool thing somebody sketched up that Musk liked and now everything is being back engineered to try and fit that, especially aerodynamics.

It's probable that the fender flair/wheel-tire combination is the mot malleable part of the design. What might a low-drag optimized solution be like?
I'm curious about Julian Edgar's opinion as well.
I've been looking for a place to throw this in. Ignoring the cab overlap and open wheels, is this a reasonable solution for a pickup bed? Fences to prevent vortex generation and as a tropfenwagen style fender?
