It's nice that you are modifying a modern electric car, but the accuracy of your data seems very open to question.

If I understand correctly, you are using road testing to purportedly measure the outcome of changes to a resolution of 0.1%.

I just can't see how that is possible, when I would think that there will be a greater variation than this is in back-to-back testing, with the car unchanged.

Surely the starting point would be to do, say, 10 runs with the car identically configured and show us the scatter in the measurements?

(And before people say that I rely on road testing to assess aero changes - yes I do, but to an accuracy of about 2 per cent...so a factor of 20 times lower resolution.)
