Here's a diagram attached showing how much is lost to aerodynamic drag and rolling resistance in a Tesla Model 3. It is from this video from Engineering Explained. Note how at around 55mph, both rolling resistance and aerodynamic drag are about the same.

Why do people keep referencing this douche's videos as authoritative source of engineering knowledge!!?? In one of his videos, this dope says that putting an ICE car in neutral while driving is bad for the car!!!???
