Has anybody conducted a pre and post range test after removing the front wheel fairings? Curious to see how much range loss ( if measurable) occcurs after removing them.

I just did this!
Think the CyberTruck looks better without them. So I simply removed the Front Fairings.
Did not realize the efficiency loss without them on the highway!
I originally thought it was the 9°F ( -12°C) temperature. Nope. Got the same horrible "mileage" at 51°F (10°C) !
Left my Cybertruck at the Airport for several weeks (Loss of 2 miles (3 km) of range per day with Sentry and Cabin Overheat Protection OFF)
This was witnessed over a 200 mile (322 Kilometer) travel distance.
I just reinstalled the Front Wheel Fairings today.
If I witness the same terribad efficiency with them back on, I may re-remove them and attempt to find the culprit of my poor mileage.
