    It’s not really ideal to have no front end from an aerodynamics perspective

    they use fluid dynamics these days, the wind tunnel is a computer.

    Canoo:

    BODY
    • Steel body
    • Drag coefficient: CdA 1.04 (Cd 0.33)
    • Cabin mounted on rolling chassis (skateboard architecture)
    • Thermoplastic (thermoplastic polymer) outer skin is robust, lightweight, corrosion free and dent resistant

    .33 is towards the bottom, but not bad (F150 is .5, Volvos come in around .3)
