>The fact that the Tesla S has pretty much beaten all cars in their class shows that there must be quite some room for improvement in that area.

I like your comment but this seems like a total non sequitur? Are you saying that if it's not a multiway tie for the best in something, then that implies there "must be quite some room for improvement in that area"? Or how do you get to this conclusion?

I don't want to speak for the op but the fact that the first model designed by a company that did not exist until recently is currently leading all offerings from the rest of the 100+ year old industry in drag coefficient does to me intuitively indicate that there is some room for those competitors to improve.
