Sorry, I can't stop typing, and this is fascinating to me:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Automo...ag_coefficient

In this list of auto models and drag coefficient numbers, the bottom of the list is all EVs. For a reason! None of the EVs has a drag coefficient number above 0.25. The Hummer H2 is 0.57, highest on the list of affordable production vehicles.

Elon figures the cybertruck can be about 0.30 with a lot of tuning. The lowest truck now is Dodge Ram at 0.36.

I don't think anyone is going to buy this EV Hummer. I think the numbers will come out and it will be an obvious loser. I don't think it makes sense for marketing purposes either. People only buy a Hummer to make a statement, and the EV does not make the statement they want to make. For one thing, it'll be silent.
