There are many sources that use the terms interchangeably. And while their mechanisms are indeed a little different, their outcomes are the same, more weight on the ground.
A spoiler reduces lift
A wing creates downforce.
They both increase the pressure on the ground.

But that brings us back to why we are here. What would you be trying to do to alter the highly aerodynamically tested of the Cybertruck?
Does anyone have any additional insight / wind tunnel testing that suggests how it can be made better.


OR, are they just cosmetic?
This original request and idea was posted by me - and the thought was purely cosmetics.
Even at a small loss of range.
The idea was to add that redirection at the tail end to slightly break the slope rear angle of the CT bed.

Maybe a dumb question. How can I reach to the further part of the bed if a spoiler is added? Now I need to climb on the bed if my stuff slides deep into the bed, but a spoiler will block my way.
Look at my original pics posted. No biggie
Would be a pain when placing a large object like a fridge in your truck.

Why do you believe that to be advantageous?

Why would you believe that if it was advantageous, that Tesla wouldn't have done it?
