In this research, aerodynamic tests were carried out at different speeds by using Solidworks Flow Simulation software in the Tesla Cybertruck vehicle, knowing the results of the drag and lift coefficients. The method was selected in three dimensions, the continuity equations and the Navier-Stokes equations that were solved by the finite volume method, the k-ɛ model was chosen to close the amounts of turbulence.
