So you would want your mirror to be as low as possible and leave the a pillar corner a gap for the air to flow nicely

I bougth to my touareg Opel corsa mirrors, which were really cheap about 30€ per piece online.
I am hoping to see a 0,015 drag drop in my touareg which has huge mirrors at the moment.
not a single efficient vehicle puts mirrors on the door. they all put it in the pillar corner. every single tesla model. newest prius. hyundai ioniq
