Echoing my thoughts there. Without full doors ahead of it, it seems highly unlikely that it would do much to smooth out airflow - and do paltry little for normal intended use.

It's funny though upon weeding through the naysayer comments about the FUV on youtube, with some saying a golf cart is cheaper. Clearly they don't live in an area where the only routes across major obstacles like rivers require highway speeds! Arcimoto obviously understands that well, which is why it was one of the design parameters they settled on at the outset.
