Is it supposed to be? It looks a whole lot like the Model 3. Maybe a hatchback version of that. It looks like most places are calling it a "small crossover", which is basically just a sedan with a couple of inches of extra space in the back.

A lot of sedans are actually longer than SUVs (when I was looking to buy a car I had a spreadsheet with all the dimensions). Eliminating the trunk and lifting it a few inches seems sufficient to call it a crossover or SUV.

Elon himself on stage called it a "midsize SUV".

It apparently seats 7 people. I don’t know any sedans that can do that.

At the risk of being that person, the Tesla Model S can.

Do the rear facing child seats count? Also you can’t install those after market.

Who said you could install them after market? Are there any cars on the road that let you install additional seats after market?

I dunno how many crossover/midsize SUVs you've sat in, but few of them have third row seats and the ones which do are rarely suitable for adults.

The Toyota Prius can seat 7. This looks a lot more like that than any sort of SUV.

That's the kind of overlay I would want to see.
