Yes, I can see that for myself in the test drives , reviews and the self parking that the Tesla is clearly the best software. And yes, I do hear that the Xpeng G6 is the only Chinese car close to this level. I don't really use the cruise control and self driving that much but do care about the self parking (wife). Overall, the IM6 is quieter than the Tesla, and drives better than the 7x or Tesla in a euro-car BMW/Mercedes kind of way. Car-for-car, comparing the long range model Y, the all-in costs of that are around 2 mil, so again 400k more expensive than the IM6 or 7X LR. When you factor in insurance costs (I found out larger NMC batteries of 100kwh in all long range models) are more expensive than the LFP battery models and all the premium brands will be 40k+/yr for first class insurance. Again the Tesla will be on the highest side around 70/yr because of the aluminum body also plus the battery. So, assuming the Tesla Model Y is 30k more expensive per year in insurance that adds another 300k to the price difference, (10 years of use) so we are looking at the Tesla Model Y being really 700k more expensive than either the IM6 or 7x. That's a steep price to pay for self-driving and better self-parking for the wife. I won't use either.
