2022 Lucid Air Grand Touring aero tricks

On page 70 of the January, 2022 MOTOR TREND, there's a QR Code on the bottom-right of the page, for 'Learn more about Lucid's design and aerodynamic tricks'
We tried Al's phone app here at the copy center, but struck out.
If any of you happen across an issue at your local library, perhaps you'll have some luck with it.
The article mentioned:
* 'vortex airflow to help suck extra air into the car's front cooling ducts and to keep air attached to the smooth underbody's diffuser fences. The wing shape of its fascia air curtain ducts actually produces negative drag, and its hood ducts exhaust high-pressure air from the front. Narrow tires and a low roofline minimize frontal area.'
* ' inverted-jellybean shape'
* ' lowering the roofline to minimize drag'
* 'Cd 0.200'
'Go small, or go home!'
