If the shape with the least air-resistance is a raindrop 💧, why are most cars shaped like a backwards raindrop? 🚗

Question

I am basing my question off this [image](https://study.com/cimages/multimages/16/dragcoefficients8851096396303799158.png)

Edit: Okay, okay, I should have said “teardrop” instead of “raindrop.” Talking about the *actual* shape of raindrops doesn’t really help given the visuals I provided.

It appears that to make that design work efficiently luxuries that people would rather not loose are sacrificed. Cabin space being the biggest hurdle of that design, it’s only a two seat with a smallish trunk under the solar panels.

Also, if no one likes how the car looks then no one buys it and it’s a “failed” design. Doesn’t matter how good something performs if it doesn’t appeal to the masses aesthetic requirements.
