Tesla’s design and engineering teams have gone to extraordinary lengths to ensure
that air flows smoothly above, around and below Model S to reduce drag, which in turn
maximizes battery range. The smart air suspension lowers the car’s height at highway
speeds to reduce its frontal area. Electronically controlled vents stay closed until sensors
detect that cooling is necessary. The front bumper routes air uninterrupted beneath the
battery’s flat skidplate and past the rear diffuser. The result is a seven seat sedan with
the stance of a coupe and supercar aerodynamics.
