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.

I'm sure you don't have any insight on that aera, but just generally, is this (the prototype at least, who knows what actually is final) better aerodynamically than a new Ford or Ram?
I have no idea - I simply don't speculate without evidence.
