4) The Taycan Turbo S would be 2% at 80-mph, instead of 16%.
5) If the Taycan and Model S were not designed for 160/155 mph, we'd never see the 16% and 8% values. Their radiators could be 1/8th the size that they are and easily cover the Btus coming their way. This fact is hiding in plain view.

Now you are just making stuff up. I go on the actual, published literature, not my own theories.
And the actual, published literature shows that the cooling drag of BEVs is nowhere near zero, as you have previously claimed.
You can devise whatever figures you want, but until you quote published data of cooling drag percentage on a current BEV that doesn't support what I have said, it simply counts for nothing.
