Same here. My car always works, I don’t need an account for it, all the features supported by the hardware are available for my use whenever I want. Here’s the kicker, WITHOUT an internet connection. We have 2 BYDs, a 2023 HAN and a 2023 TANG.
Right now BYD are being so heavily subsidised by the Chinese government that they are imported into the US and Europe at less than production and shipping cost.

European auto makers and not sbubsidised to the same extent and in fact most subsidies are illegal under EU trading rules. Even in domestic markets we have to pay tax on new EV purchases, typically 20 percent.

It’s well documented, here’s one of many articles:
The CSIS research based on the business filings and Chinese government reports puts the subsidy at between 28 and 32 percent depending on the manufacturer and target market.
I’ve had Yanks tell me that my BYD is evil because I don’t really own it, that I have to pay a subscription, that it has ads
None of which is true
You know who’s pulling that sort of shit?
Other manufacturers.
NOT BYD

When you don’t know what a word means and are unaware it describes your country, not the country upon which you’re projecting.
Is it the reading or the comprehension you are struggling with?
Either way I’m sure when you finish school you will understand.

Maybe educate yourself?

This is all part of China’s strategy to basically undercut the opposition for long enough that they will go bankrupt.
What will happen when there is no competition? Well, you only have to look at the current prices of computer components for the answer to that.
