Not sure how many people have gotten under the car to take a look, but my BEV has a rather large triangular cut out below the motor area all the way to the end of the battery pack. I thought it might be for cooling, then remembered our motors are cooled by sealed looped refrigerant.
Anyway I don't see or need a purpose to this opening, other than letting more road noise reflect into the rear of the vehicle (rear seat area is directly above this opening, and creating an open parachute effect when the air goes in and gets trapped by the bumper.
Trying to find some suitable material (plexiglass type stuff). Anyone suggest any other materials that might be lightweight and rigid enough to use to close off the bottom underside of the i3?
