Two guys that know what they're talking about.

FYI, a one-time Ecomodder contributor, graysgarage, invented the vortex tubes used in the radiator inlets. Here's his video from seven years ago:

He came and went, mostly posting his Youtube videos of a water tunnel he used to test models. Google's search doesn't find his posts here.

Here's his Youtube channel: https://www.youtube.com/@RotaryRebuilder

diffuser mid-door origin

It's interesting that Mr. Hawkins mentions this, as we may come to know that the Tesla 'robo-taxi' diffuser may 'begin' at the front axle location, providing additional pressure recovery along the 'longer' pathway. 'Unseen', 'out of sight', 'out of mind' aerodynamics.
