The problem is that it doesn't make sense. A bus with no windows, no steering wheel and no ground clearance, so a tram. A new car with full self driving ..except why would it need to be new when he's been promising FSD for various tesla cars for years.

edit: sorry I just checked, it does appear to have see through windows at this timestamp https://youtu.be/-JOas3fcXU0?t=896

It's absolutely not a tram; it's a large passenger van (not big enough to be called a bus). Trams run on rails.

yes and this would need to have a railsystem too if it ever wants to drive into a parking lot that has a speedbump on it, like for example the parking lot of my apartment complex

This is clearly the prototype. The final production model (if it ever happens) will have more ground clearance, for obvious reasons of practicality.
