I now have at least two Tesla 3 models to test in the next week.

First car - wool tuft test and pressure test - overall car

Second car - with and without these wheel covers.



I intend doing this latter test with tuft and pressure testing down the side of the car. I've also suggested to the owner taping up the openings in the covers for a third tuft/pressure test (but obviously that won't give overall drag).

Without spending a lot more time (these tests will each take 2-3 hours), any other suggestions?
