Wet wind tunnel test results

After a recent long trip in mostly intense rain, I became very aware of the Model 3's superb aerodynamics. Apart from the fact that the rear window was kept perfectly clear by the airstream even at the wettest moments, the evenness of streaking on the bodywork (literal "streamlining") testifies to the efficiency of the design. The only anomaly was a strange patch of dirt buildup on the trailing edge of the rear passenger door, which seems to suggest that the door is slightly inset, leading to a step in which dirt bounces off.
