This kinda glosses over the entire history of BYD cars though.

BYD started very low, selling cheap EVs or hybrids like the BYD F3, then slowly creeped up to being a mainstream brand (a la Toyota) in China, and is now moving towards the even higher end with cars like Yangwang U8.

I guess my point is, it always seemed to me that their plan was to release products like the U9. It's just that they were doing it bottom-up.
