Aerodynamics played an important role in the concept's design, as the fully adjustable front spoiler and rear airfoil were adapted to the particular driving situation to ensure the optimum compromise between
low air resistance on the one hand, and high downforce on the other.
A press release distributed by Norway Post explicitly mentioned some of the Tesla Semi's main design features, such as
its low air resistance, automatic emergency braking, Autopilot technology, and its capability to cover up to 500 miles on a single charge.
Musk proposes a partial vacuum,
lowering air resistance enough to increase efficiency without making tubes nearly impossible to maintain.

Musk proposed in 2013 that a hyperloop system, which is similar to a magnetic levitation (maglev) train but runs through a
low -
resistance tunnel with much of its
air removed, would cost $ 11.5 m (# 9.4 m) per mile to build.
When the highest attainable speed is reached, we squat

Thus, one may speculate that
lower birthweight is an intermediate step or «phenotype» between
air pollution and insulin

The $ 400 FE + package includes

air blades on both sides, adjust the front - to - rear aerodynamic balance, and double - act as
air brake.

Thanks to extensive aerodynamic improvements (such as
air inlet openings in front, modified door mirror caps, new wheel spoiler), tyres optimised for
low rolling
resistance and standard 8 - speed automatic gearbox optimised for
low friction, Volkswagen was able to improve the fuel efficiency of the Touareg by up to six per cent (V6 TDI with 150 kW).
Included are black
air intakes inside the bumper, optimized cooling airflow, sports chassis (body has been
lowered by 15 mm) and elaborate under - floor panels and some special tires with very
low rolling
resistance.
The wheel arches are filled with wheels unique to the hybrid model that have been designed to disturb less
air with each rotation and have been shod with
low - rolling -
resistance tires.

Other BlueEFFICIENCY measures include newly developed tyres with up to 17 percent
lower rolling
resistance, energy - saving control of the generator, fuel pump,
air conditioning compressor and power steering, and the ECO start / stop functionwhich switches the engine of the new E 200 CGIoff when idling.
Fuel saving technologies included: Integrated Stop & Go (ISG),
low rolling -
resistance tyres, an alternator management system (AMS) and a drag - reducing «active
air flap» in the front grille.
The ability to easily slip through the
air, combined with
low rolling
resistance tires and the reduced friction in the optimized Hybrid Blue Drive powertrain, significantly reduces the amount of energy required to maintain highway speeds.
The combination of a re-shaped front and rear fascias with a deeper
air dam, extended rocker panels and
lower drag wheels allow
air to flow around the body with less
resistance.

In addition, it has been equipped with unique, 15» or 17» Prius - style aero wheels with enlarged

The upper grille opening has been optimised to help the
air flow smoothly over the upper half of the body, and the size of the
lower grille has been enlarged to reduce airflow

Note that the Model S won over the Prius because while they had the same drag area, the Tesla had a
lower coefficient of drag and a larger frontal area, so it did better starting from a disadvantaged position (smaller frontal areas offer less
resistance to incoming
air, all else being equal).
