You may want to alter your 'flight plan' and drive Zevo directly to New York's Museum of Fine Art!
That's where she belongs.
And wherever you're going, I suspect that you're gonna have some 'conversations' with other motorists.

At 'all-elevens', with trigonometry, and using the 'tangent' of 11-degrees, a back-of-the-envelope calculation puts your new wake at roughly 39.27-square-feet, compared to the OEM of around 72.87-square feet; a 46% smaller wake.
If Zevo had a smooth underbody, like PhD Jeff Howell et al's Windsor Body, you'd be looking at a 46% drag reduction. Cd 0.1886, if you were starting with Cd 0.35 ( I wish GM/ Brightdrop would publish the data )
A BIG
on the 'whale tail'.!
If you fail to get some 'tasty' kW/ mile data, next time you're near Dallas-Ft Worth, dinner's ( or lunch or breakfast ) on me.
