It's a few months old, but in light of recent events I think it still checks out. Make sure to watch the walkaround!

Lidar, all the cameras/sensors, and the processing unit for all this definitely cost money.

My car it cost $300 to replace a windshield. My wife's it cost over $1000 due to the optics/sensor unit behind the windshield

I should really say "by car standards". Of course a GPU isn't free, but when a low-end new EV costs 30,000-50,000CAD the extra couple grand isn't too crazy. If you don't want it, I guess it's still a couple grand, though.

Again, though, I could see the licensing costing an order of magnitude more, although I don't really know.

That actually just seems like robbery, haha. We're talking about the kind that detects fouling, which probably is a glorified mouse tracker, right?
