2nd look at CYBERTRUCK

Now that we have some more definitive data for the RIVIAN R1T, I spent some additional time with CYBERTRUCK.
1) I located 26 vehicles with fineness ratios hovering close to that of the Tesla.
2) The 26 ranged from a high of Cd 0.29, to a low of Cd 0.137, with an average fineness ratio of 3.3252, and an average Cd 0.2157.
3) CYBERTRUCK's fineness ratio is 3.4269, a bit more 'narrow' than the group average.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
4) I located 11 vehicles with an aft-body percentage near CYBERTRUCK's, ranging from 49.7%, to 52.2%, drag coefficients ranging from a high of Cd 0.244, to a low of Cd 0.136, and average 50.806% and average Cd 0.1717.
5) CYBERTRUCK's aft-body is 51%.
6) CYBERTRUCK's drag coefficient has yet to be published.
