@Prysin Also just to back up my claim further heres an excerpt from there website about the spoiler

 

'Improve high speed stability by adding the carbon fiber spoiler to your trunk lid. Made from lightweight, cross-woven carbon fibers with a matte epoxy finish, we recently redesigned the spoiler to reduce lift at the car's rear by 77% at highway speeds, with minimal range impact'

highway speeds is 60-80MPH, you gonna hit that speed in 2.8 seconds..... After that, the effect is NOT documented.

Look at european super-cars. Why is their spoilers really big? Because at higher speed, the air will rush past faster and ignore smaller cracks in favor of the least obtrusive way.

yes but those are supercars the tesla model s is more comparable to say the Bentley Continental gt speed which has a minimal spoiler. Just trust me on this even if the spoilers minima,l at high speeds it will provide plenty of downforce (i study aerospace engineering all of this has to do with fluid dynamics which is a big part of aerospace engineering)
