There are no 'teardrop' trailers in existence [within the 'aerodynamic' context of 'teardrop] as conceived within aerodynamic parlance.
Makes my head hurt. The only good teardrop is a dead teardrop?

It would be interesting to put a balance beam in an aero/hydrodynamic tunnel trailing scale models of equal frontal area. I'd start with a teardrop and a Cybertruck. Or an old Beetle?

Or a teardrop with a 4% radius on the edges.
