Very ironic for renault to say this. Considering that the whole Carlos Ghosn/Nissan scandal was because the japanese were mad tiny Renault was controlling gigantic Nissan and Mitsuibishi.

Is the conversion kit /addon free or in addition to the 14K USD price?

I think this is a good thing. But I hope that they can do so intutitively. During the telescope guy recent review, he made a good point that many manufacturers seem to bring back buttons for compliance reasons or just to say they have buttons (he was trying to praise the car he was reviewing for going beyond that). I thought he had a good point.
