Chinese ES8 competes comfortably with TESLA's Model X

Model X is not a sexy name for a car. Besides that China (NIO) has come up with an electric SUV which is just 50% of Model X. The model is called ES8, also not very attractive.

ES8 looks OK just looking at a picture on a web page. The cheaper price is due to a mega subsidy.
This is what NIO founder William Li said,
"
 "Maybe Tesla will sell less...after our product is out. Or probably, because the whole market is growing, they will still maintain growth in sales. It's hard to say."
Here are images of ES8 from an MSN site.
