With any car brand I like to question the reliability of a brand and its company before I trust them
I suggest others do as well before going in blindly I this brand interests you
There are BYD taxis operating for over a decade around the world. Their reliability is not an unknown.

But what their electronics get up to is. Of course all cars spy on you these days unfortunately but not many of them spy on you for a foreign dictatorship.
This is the big issue for me. It can be as reliable as a Camry all it wants, but if it's a car made in China, I'm going to steer clear purely for the fact that I just don't fucking trust the CCP nor any Chinese company employing tech in foreign countries. I'll keep driving my 2011 Falcon until it dies (and knowing their usual longevity, it'll be a while.)
