Exactly so.The most efficient shape at one speed may not be the most efficient shape at another speed.
That's why the improver is not fixed but adapts to speed (and other factors?).

It's interesting how ambiguous evidence confirms pre-existing biases. I look at this raft of prototypes, including some shot in HD video, and I think "how could anyone believe that these aren't final, production spec cars with some minimal vinyl wrapping and a few missing trim pieces?"
Here's more......
This is exactly why the argument that these aren't representative of the production version falls apart. These have to be the release candidates that we are seeing, and they have to be representative of the production version. Otherwise, they can't possibly meet the schedule they have set. We'll know for sure in a matter of weeks.I am certainly in the 'camp of mules' and that these pics are not a representation of a production version, but the question in my mind is....
Given the current stated delivery timeline, shouldn't there be camo production testers out on the road by now, if for nothing more than the prelim road tests for initial production fit and finish?

Man! Looking good I'd say. If this is the final version, I like it!! Like a sleek looking SUV if there ever is such a thing.Here's more......

Could it be that the models we are currently seeing are actual pre-production cars that Tesla has modified with camo and tweaked the alignments of panels to make it look less like a pre-prod and more like a mule?
For all we know these cars could be 98% of what the final car will look like.
If they don't have pre-production cars now then any hope of deliveries in 2015 goes out the window in my opinion.
