I do wish car companies would stop revealing just the coefficient of drag but also include the frontal area. You can't figure out the actual loss of energy to drag without both numbers, so showing just the one number is a moot point for me unless they tell us the other number.

I'm glad that the Cd is a few percent lower on the newer Model Y. I just hope it isn't a few percent bigger.
