wait, so those front wheel covers are stationary in relation to the hub, and don’t rotate along with the wheels.

Accomplished with the covers weighted properly and riding on buttery smooth ball bearings.

That’s how Rolls Royce does it with theirs, but it appears that the Speedtail’s wheel covers are connected statically to the wheel hub through the center of the wheel, while the wheel itself spins on bearings.

I’m sure it’s strictly been made for top speed advantage, and owners of this care aren’t going for efficiency at 75 mph. I just wonder what the gain is with this slippery body shape over a similar drivetrain in the ir other cars.

Yeah. I have no clue.
Only one way to find out. Pit a speedtail owner with a “regular” hypercar owner.
Let me know when you set that up...
