Yup, saw that too. And I was so disappointed.
'Since we have no ICE, we could move the cab forward'...
They are just building the same concept of a car over again, tweaking it a bit, while Tesla redesigned the car from the ground up. The i-pace is an SUV where the back passengers heads come dangerously close to the sides, imo, so not that spaceous?
And they are so proud of their 0.29 drag coefficient... The Model X has 0.24!!!
