It looks to be completely free on most BYD models - as in no one time fee or sub...

Wow, I've never seen an article that misleading from the first line!

> "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.

So, what you're saying is that Tesla used to be as good as a $9,300 BYD but is now going to be worse?

No wonder they need to hide behind a tariff wall.

No, and it seems you're intentionally inferring something there.

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.
