Newbie here again.
Two things I would like to run by the more experienced users; first when I start charging there is a really cool green led at the base of the windshield that indicates charge status but it turns off after a couple of minutes. Is there a way to keep that on? I know its a minor thing but its kinda cool and I've had some somewhat conflicting info from the station and the app about weather its charging and at what level. The second one is that we were so gobsmacked when we were checking out beauty that I never even noticed the wing over the rear window. I know my powers of observation are underwhelming but, I was thinking about this and was wondering about turbulence. When I bought my first prius, lo these many years ago, front and center was the issue of coefficient of friction. The smoothest execution tended to be the best so I was wondering if that was less important nowadays or if there was some other reason it was put there. Thanks T3

I guess @Too tall Todd was too tall to see the heading in that section
This is not true on a hatchback. The lowest wind drag comes from having the spoiler wing on any hatchback. This has been proven by lots of wind tunnel testing, and is why most hatchbacks have them now. A smooth airplane wing profile like Tesla has on their cars is slightly lower wind drag, but that comes with the drawback of less space in the car since its not a hatchback.The smoothest execution tended to be the best so I was wondering if that was less important nowadays or if there was some other reason it was put there.

That cool light when charging goes out after a while.
