NO WAY! Did they just copy the Siemens Mireo and made it a double decker

It looks even more obvious in the German version of the site where the first picture is literally this one:

Edit:

Now that I have taken a closer look I question if the "Tesla" train is even a double decker or actually the Mireo

Edit 2:

And I am unsure if Yahoo just used a random train as their cover or if this is the Tesla train in question. I am so confused O.o

Edit 3:

Soo it's not a double decker and it is "Tesla's train" sooo... If I was Tesla I'd get back to the drawing board because I doubt Siemens will be happy with what they did here

    From the industry journal I linked in another comment -- it's literally just an off-the-shelf Mireo Plus B. That's it. The only thing Tesla about it is that it's serving a spur line connecting Tesla's factory to the existing Berlin light rail network, and was presumably financed by them for the PR benefit of not having the workers at an electric car factory arrive by diesel train.
