I guess they're getting a pretty good amount of benefit from the EV low radiator/cooling air area and the very smooth underbelly EVs can have?

1) we'd want to measure the 1st-gen Insight in the same tunnel for calibration.
2) adding a cooling system could push the drag up to Cd 0.265.
3) mutilating the belly with the exhaust system might produce Cd 0.29.
4) CAR and DRIVER reported Cd 0.30 for Insight at the A2 Wind Tunnel.
