reattachment
I can't vouch for the CFD. And it would have been nice if it played long enough for the flow to stabilize, but my little gray cells are telling me that there's a probability that 'reality' will be similar to the animation.
With the VCC Volvo Concept Car active airdam, and GM's Aero 2000 'EPCOT' concept active diffuser, CYBERTRUCK has a shot at Cd 0.25.

Zero added CdA is best CdA. The telescoping mechanism is proprietary.

Clever team members.
They've been in the rain and know how to shingle the sections.
I'd want to use a linear magnetic catapult mechanism, which set off sonic booms, just so Detroit could hear it.

The rail gun at EDW is still there and rumored to be upgraded
Would be a 3fer: sonic, attention getting by shutting down aviation in so Cal, LAUNCH another tesla into space
Wait you were there back then, did they get that much altitude?

Nope! never a glimpse. 
I did experience the Vulcan cannon in the F-15.
As the FNG, I mentioned a great sound that I'd heard east of the the dogleg turning towards NASA's hanger at the end of 'contractor row.'
I thought is was some sort of horn announcing Union breaktime or something.
I was disabused of that notion when they explained the 20mm cannon and it's rate of fire.
There were these dirt revetments bull-dozed up on the desert floor, and McDonnel Douglas were using them to site in the Vulcans. Amazing to a twenty-something who'd only seen a .22 and .223 in action.

You'd love the sound track from burt rutan when he was sighting his one off fighter.

I'm waiting for the tiny home owner to bring something new to the thread.

I think the guy would be wise to push forward on development without the Cybertruck. The thing would work just as good in one of the 20 million gas F150s on the road today or Rams, or Silverados. Even the EV versions which share the same bed, but this is good for more than just the Cybertruck. To limit it to just that unique footprint and also wait, and then have only thousands of potential customers out there verses miliions and millions is short sighted IMO. Or it's just more of a thought process than an actual product.
