BYD outs privacy-oriented Tesla Model Y competitor Denza N7 with siloed chips and camera off switch

[Redaktion]

BYD will begin deliveries of its new luxury crossover Denza N7 in two weeks and is aiming it squarely at the Tesla Model Y price range or the BBA (Benz, BMW, Audi) crowd. Besides all the typical EV bells and whistles, the N7 has some unique features that are geared towards privacy-conscious owners.

It's a recycled Tang, man.

That said, Denza is pretty interesting given the price range BYD typically works in, and BYD is better off with maintaining, but expanding, the brand.

It'd be interesting to see if the Yangwang's quad-motor setup can be recycled for Denzas, since the in-wheel motor is a pretty awesome technology that needs to percolate into more mass-market brands. Yangwang's job is to fight roadster and Mercedes' top-end stuff, while Denza's job is to fight Tesla on their home turf.

It'd be interesting to see if Denza ends up exporting to Germany with improved vehicles; would be funny if Mercedes ended up being outcompeted by their own JV.
