Why do they compare it to model X and not model 3; is it because its specs are simular to model X? Doesn’t look like a van or SUV at all.
ES8[0]
Model X[1]
Comparing these two, the ES8 is bit blockier like the current set of crossovers. Whereas the Model X has the body shaping of a really big sedan. Neither have the 100% of the classic SUV look, but both have 5 seats and hatchback with a dedicated cargo area. Neither is like the Model 3, which is a sedan with a normal trunk.
