They said their engineer team wasn’t allowed to do rear wheel skirts. So that’s why the wheels are big, the tires are flush with the flat hubcaps, the trailing edge is smaller, and wheel arches are small. They claimed in some video that they did such a good job, that wheel skirts wouldn’t have made a diff. They also claimed they have the lowest drag side mirrors ever made too and that it barely even affects their total overall drag
So by guessing from what the engineers said, doing a full fender skirt and removing mirrors would only drop the cd by 0.005
