A Tesla Cybertruck was recently taken to a local wind tunnel in search of hard numbers on the vehicle's coefficient of drag.
Tesla has stated that the Cybertruck’s unique vehicle design was at least partially in search of excellent aerodynamics. Going as far back as early 2019, Elon Musk claimed that the upcoming electric truck could potentially hit a drag coefficient as low as 0.30. Roughly four years later, the final production-ready Cybertruck hit the streets with an official Cd of 0.34.
“If our wind tunnel was a lot larger, we may have gotten much closer to the numbers that Tesla claims to get.” Because of these potential variances, he explained that their results do not necessarily refute Tesla’s numbers. They are simply providing an additional estimate based on a different testing environment. The vehicle wrap also does not impact the results since it does not alter the textured surface of the vehicle. This analysis did not limit itself to ideal driving conditions either.
