So I currently drive a Prius v from 2012, it's really interesting to compare a few key stats:
Stat Model X Prius v
Length 198.3" 181.7" X is 16.6" longer
Width 81.5" 69.9" X is < 11.6" wider (Prius data is "body width" Model X is "mirrors folded")
Total Cargo Vol. 62.6 cu ft 67.3 cu ft X is 4.7 cu ft Less Volume (note: X data is 7 seat config, Prius is a 5 seater but both drop to 2 seater at max volume).
I just don't understand how a car with a frunk and no need for ICE's space consuming drive train components, that's far longer and wider can have a cargo volume so much smaller than the smaller Hybrid car?
Granted, going to a 6 seat config gains back significant volume for cargo and at that point almost certainly exceeds the Prius v's volume, it's still surprising how little it would exceed the volume.
Is Tesla, perhaps, not counting the volume of the Frunk and the under-shelf trunk in their stat?
