A CD of 0.29 isn't exactly something to be proud of these days, especialy since it's an electric car that can have a perfectly flat undertray as there isn't an exaust in the way.
Keep in mind, the Audi 100 (C3) had a CD of 0.30 40 years ago.
Meanwhile the Mercedes W213 has a CD of 0.23 and we have a thread about a new one that reaches 0.20.
But still, dust makes for great visualisation.

0.29 is actually pretty good for a lower cost squareback! It’s not fair to compare that with a very expensive sedan - much easier to get low drag with a sedan shape and lots of dollars.
