OK, let me say it again. What we have seen are not MULES. They are PROTOTYPES.

Mules use another car as a donor to attach the chassis to. For example the spy shots of what is expected to be the new large Cadillac used Chevy PPVs for the donor. Those were Mules.

Prototype is the expected sheet metal. Not production parts, mind you but representative of what will go into production.

I have said that it is possible that under the jazz camo there is still some panels hiding features and shape.

Generally what we are used to seeing is the August level prototypes with padding and vinyl covers. Side note, I know the guy who owns the company that makes all those vinyl covers.

Later when they need to have true aero performance, they remove the pads. For example, running around the 'ring would be silly with the vinyl pads strapped on.

Not saying they have or haven't, I'm just suggesting that there are elements of the design that may still be hidden and it would be easy to do so.

Yes, I think we have the jist of the car. Chazcron has done some really, really nice renders. But the devil is in the details.
