' comparison '

The vantage point of the camera producing the images can distort the actual geometry of both cars.
A GOOGLE search produced blueprints for both cars, in at least three-views each, with dimensions.
The roofline of the KIA is 'discontinuous' with respect to the total length of the body and will offer a penalty in pressure recovery compared to the TESLA.
TESLA wheels probably also have an advantage.
The Hyundai IONIQ 6 sedan, with it's flow-mending rear spoiler represents a fine compromise roof contour.
