For example, Samsung's mobile phones in Europe and South Korea use their own chips, while other regions use Qualcomm chips; Apple's mobile phones support eSim card functions and millimeter wave overseas, but both functions are castrated in China. If it is the automotive industry, it is more, and there are countless things that have a lot of differences in the same model overseas and domestic, including the interior, car engine system, etc. There may be some changes.
As the boss of the electric vehicle industry, Tesla also wants to play a little differentiation. Recently Tesla is selling a new accessory - Tesla Mic, which is obviously a microphone, and the function is very simple, that is, equipped with Tesla's karaoke system, so that users can show their voice in Tesla vehicles. But it is very strange that this accessory is currently only sold in China, that is to say, it is exclusively for the Chinese market, and there is no market outside China.
This accessory is launched with the Tesla system update, Tesla recently launched the New Year software update, and in this update China's Tesla car will have an additional function in the entertainment system - Thunderstone KTV, yes, this is an on-board karaoke system, and it is really thanks to Tesla to think of it... But we really don't understand Tesla's intentions, do we really want car owners and passengers to sing on the way back to their hometown?
However, although it does not cost much to upgrade the system, it is still not expensive to want to Sing in the car. According to Tesla, this microphone will automatically pair with the entertainment system, so it is estimated that it is a Bluetooth connection. The Tesla Mic is a set with a microphone attached, so if the owner wants to have a duet with a partner or friend, it's no problem. The item is said to sell for around $188, but for people who want to sing in the car, the tesla store page often fails to load, and I don't know if there are too many people who want to become singers.
Of course, Tesla's New Year update is not limited to karaoke functions, but this function is indeed more prominent, not to say how useful this function is, mainly placed in a bunch of functions, it does make people feel full of joyful taste. However, this time in addition to the KTV function, netease cloud music and Bilibili were also added, and it seems that Tesla's entertainment system is getting closer and closer to the taste of the Chinese.
However, it is said that the current song library of Thunderstone KTV is not enough to allow owners to choose various songs at will like in KTV, and this function is obviously specially added for Chinese car owners, because Tesla itself has an official karaoke microphone system overseas, but the owner needs to connect it to the audio system on the car, and also bring its own audio track and teleprompter, it is obvious that this is because of copyright, Tesla wants to save money. However, there should be no so many problems in China, after all, Tesla's Thunderstone KTV itself is developed by domestic manufacturers, Tesla sells accessories to make a sum of money, and do not have to consider the copyright cost of the song, why not enjoy it?
Of course, what we think is inappropriate is that if you turn on this KTV function while driving, will it be dangerous? Although Tesla said that car owners and passengers can sing a song when parking, what if someone really wants to sing a song when driving? The driver will not say, if the passenger wants to sing, the voice is good, if it belongs to the type of singing, then the driver is tortured!
