4) If so, how much?
5) If so, wouldn't that affect its road load?
6) If so, wouldn't that affect its motor cooling requirement.
7) And wouldn't it affect the battery discharge rate cooling requirement?
8) If so, wouldn't the cooling drag vary with Tesla's ' multi-stage active management ' ?
9) Which begs the question, how would we experience a 'fixed' cooling system drag?
Inquiring minds want to know!

I've already cited the SAE paper that I have been using for my comments. Inquiring minds would go and read the darn paper, not make up endless guff.
