TESLA CyberTruck Wind Tunnel Testing - SHOCKING Results (w/ Cd figures measured)

Re: [Very little Cd difference WITHOUT side mirrors! See table below]
Turns out in this example given the Cybertrucks shape that it makes very little difference so it does not at all seem worth the trouble. I bet dropping 1 MPH is even better efficiency improvement [though I haven't tried ABRP as an example to see that ;) ].

The only reason to remove them now is for the look. I’m leaning towards removing them for daily driving and reinstalling them when I tow. All that’s needed now is an appropriate after market cover for the hole.

mirrors are the law... until they aren't.
Yes rather have high dollar adjustable motor mirrors, with side safety passing notification.

Not the assumed cheep $20 mirrors Tesla installed assuming people would remove?!
