using ESM - model methods are broken

[dcsan]

Issue

when trying to use ES Modules, many of the default Model methods are missing from my classes.

interestingly the asset.save method doesn't throw an error?

where Asset is just a model:

@Table
export class Asset extends Model {

Actual behavior

cannot call basic sequelize methods on any model such as MyModel.truncate() or MyModel.create()

where MyModel is a subclass of Model

Expected behavior

should be able to create!

Steps to reproduce

have to use ESM modules
