PHYSIX OBSERVATION

By making the side steps an automotive-grade accessory, the official option is not cheap at 6,999 yuan, but it eliminates the risks and finger-pointing of third-party modification. The signal is that Li Auto is learning from Tesla by using official accessories to capture after-sales profit and by bringing the modification ecosystem in-house. For users, what they buy is warranty and compatibility; for third-party modifiers, the barrier to entry has been raised.
