Cd 0.36 RAM

* when electrified, the RAM's BSFC will fall by around 350%.
* heat flux of the cooling system will fall by 350%.
* only a very small radiator will be required for pack & motor cooling.
* AC condenser coil will be the same, unless a heat pump.
* without an exhaust system, the belly can be completely smooth.
* RAM can have a diffuser for the first time.
* More range variability in ground clearance can lower drag as well.
* Brett Herndon's aero shell was good for delta-Cd 0.067.
* his aero-tail was good for delta-Cd 0.031.
* there's absolutely no reason that a RAM BEV couldn't come in 'way' below CYBERTRUCK's Cd 0.30.
* of course, that doesn't say that we couldn't aero-mod the CYBERTRUCK
* SPIRIT registered Cd 0.2675 in 2014 at DARKO
* with the 2017 modifications we were looking at Cd 0.1955
* according to CAR and DRIVER, this might equate to Cd 0.1783 if measured at the A2 Wind Tunnel.
* Cd 0.1714 if measured at Toyota's wind tunnel.
* pickup trucks have the capacity to become very interesting.
