Lamborghini constructed a car with a forebody quite like CYBETRUCK. Hard edges and all. Photos show tufts in perfect attachment.
And Lamborghini did not have a favorable pressure gradient all the way to the middle of the car as Tesla.
Their beltline was not raked as with Tesla.
Frederick W. Lanchester's book, Aerodynamics, 1907, clearly lays out how CYBERTRUCK's nose works with virtually zero aero penalty.
Seems like Franz von Holzhausen is a genius.
