Thanks. Energy usage on our 3000 mile trip averaged 489wH/mile (best leg 369Wh/mi, worst leg 574Wh/mi).
Actually it is one of the most aerodynamic trailers on the market.
I am late to the discussion here. Great trailer and OP.
The distance between the trailer and the vehicle, aka vehicle-trailer gap, plays a crucial role. If the flat front of the trailer is well within the slipstream of MX, then it will have a small resistance to overcome, since the pressure within the slipstream will be small.
In general one tries to reduce the slipstream to improve CD (coefficient of drag), unless you're designing a vehicle that tows a trailer. For example, the back of the trailer is designed to reduce its slipstream. Does any one have data on the slipstream of MX? I am sure Tesla does.
