I can't seem to find he latest F150 or Silverado number especially the EV versions. Wait, I found a .404 for the gas 2015 F150, thr 2023 Lightning must be better than that. Bottom line the Cybertruck design wasn't game changing for aerodynamics. Put a aero topper on a Ram, make it an EV, and you probably beat the Rivian but definitely the Cybertuck.
Does that include the bed cover, because Tesla says that's worth 10%.

The only disappointing thing I learned is the $39k base model is now $60k, and the $49k model is now $80k. The truck was barely within my consideration at the prior price points, but this fantastic new economy has put it out of consideration.
