People often think they’re breathing oxygen, but are actually breathing nitrogen (78%) with a side serving of oxygen (21%) in argon sauce (1%), spiced up with CO2, H2O & a dash of neon & krypton (etc.)

Hydrogen is a light, odorless gas, which, given enough time, turns into people who will make this statement

Buying Tesla.com took over a decade, $11M & amazing amount of effort. Didn’t like teslamotors.com even when we were only making 🚘.

Tesla was almost called Faraday, as original holder of Tesla Motors trademark refused to sell it to us!

It’d be safe to assume you can’t lower the drag coefficient without changing the overall shape a fair amount though, right? That flat back and flat nose can’t be great for aerodynamics
Elon Musk
@elonmusk · Dec 1, 2019
Overall shape is good for low drag coefficient. Matters a lot exactly how you trip airflow at edges & guide air around wheels, like an invisible sculpture.

Laminar air flow due to a completely smooth bottom is underappreciated

Elon, can we please make sure Tesla CyberTruck does NOT do this when it’s fully loaded?
(This is what FORD F350 did when it was loaded with 3,000 pounds of payload in the bed)
Elon Musk
@elonmusk · Dec 1, 2019
That’s why Cybertruck has active suspension height & damping control

Safety work is done by engineering, with passive safety by body/chassis eng & active by Autopilot. Design in automotive refers to look & feel.

An aerospace engineer couldn't wait to find out, so he tested the truck's aerodynamics for himself.

With extreme effort, Cybertruck might hit a 0.30 drag coefficient, which would be insane for a truck. Requires tweaking many small details.
