I know very well what it means. And, for a given frontal area, a lower
Cd means less drag. In Tesla's case, I think they are trying to maximize
cabin space without having a larger battery, and the Cd has a
significant effect on overall drag. Other manufacturers seem to be more
interested in the macho bulldozer look at the expense of other factors.

Here's one of the reasons Tesla is better: lower drag coefficient. Why does
that matter?
You seem to be under the impression that a lower Cd equals lower drag.
You might want to go and look up the meaning of the word coefficient.
