Do BYD and other Chinese EVs have this insane subscription scheme for basic features on their cars, or is that only a feature of North American/European manufacturers?
> "Full Self-Driving" costs $8,000. BYD includes its version for free on a $9,300 car.
These are unrelated things. Tesla's comparative offering (at the time this article was written) was also included for free.
No wonder they need to hide behind a tariff wall.
I am saying that the article is comparing two features that are different and alluding to them being the same to confuse the non-informed reader.
I have no idea what a "tariff wall" is, but I don't believe Tesla or BYD pay a tariff in my country.
