Huh… at that price I might actually just buy one.

I wonder what’s required to disable the spyware.

    Just say "1989 Tiananmen Square massacre" intermittently and put a sign up on the dashboard saying it too.
    I bet everything going to China will be turned off pretty quickly.

    Wow never heard about that before.
    That's absolutely disgusting!

    Eight of the shooters (National Guard) were charged with depriving the students of their civil rights, but were acquitted in a bench trial.

    For fucks sake USA, and you didn't learn diddly?!

    i have a BYD in Aus and have had it since February last year, I give zero shits about Chinese spyware, I'm worried about the Australian government, or one of the 5 eyes spying on me, they want to do my harm.

    Having user connect is good: OTA software updates, can turn charging off and on remotely, can preheat the car and turn the seat heaters on 10 mins before you leave (good in Tassie winters) can check the SOC remotely etc.

    You can grab Toyota, Cupra or VW ecar, they have no connected services in Aus. but the main gripes on forums is they have no connected services eg software updates (notified by email etc ) need you to go in to the dealer and an can take all day (i. e when they get to it)
