The cargo area is already tapered in with a minor amount of compound curve (.45 to .90 to 1.18 degrees) as you go back. I am contemplaing the angle to set the sides. Doing some overlays, i am considering aiming for 6 degrees right after the 6-9 inch transition. That results in the vechicle sloping from 76 inches down to approximately 60 inches over a lenght of 69 inches, pulled in 6.5 more inches per side from stock. This seems to reasonably align with a 4:1 streamline from a top view.
There really isnt a constraint on the angle i set provided it stays between 4.2 and 7.3 degrees, with rear widths between 64 and 57 inches for that range. Obviously this is a big project so I would like to squeeze out as much as possible.

There's a plan-view image of Cybertruck online. Tesla gave it 6-different widths, kind of a planar approximation of body side camber. From the rear of the rear door cut line, Cybertruck is boat-tailed to the end of the vault. Very much like what you're going after on Deep Blue. A great mod!
