Fair, a more apt comparison is the Hongqi E-HS9: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E4d_-W23mgc

But on a driver experience feature-by-feature comparison the Li-L9 actually competes with a Rolls Royce:

- flat vertical reclinable seats

- 9 point massage chairs

- Heads up display

- advanced self-driving with LIDAR

- chamber to heat and cool food

- OLED back passenger screens with gesture control

- voice control of the vehicle

- quiet closing doors

This is maybe comparable to BMW series 7 or MB s class.

RR is about building each car for the given customer. There’s almost no limit to what you can wish.

I'm sorry but you don't seem to understand what Rolls Royce is really about. I know China is capable of producing quality if the proper price is paid but I seriously doubt anything like this: https://youtu.be/ZcFrFjl-RQs?t=617

Ok, they are not handcrafting fiber optics into the shapes of a star. But what I'm seeing in this video is a lot of argument from authority, posturing, pomp and inefficient bespoke manufacturing processes. When you actually look at the feature set and comfort quality you're getting from the interior of a Hongqi E-HS9... it's actually competitive if not better than a Rolls Royce. In fact the designer of the Hongqi E-HS9 used to work for Rolls Royce.

Can a Rolls Royce turn its wheels 90 degrees to park sideways? Does it have advanced LIDAR self-driving?

Yes China is able to produce tacky designs and fill out a spec sheet just like it has done in tech for decades. Thats not why customers buy Rolls Royce. In fact based on your wording it seems like the point has gone completely over your head.
