Can you please elaborate why BYD purchase could be a challenge? Do they call home and potentially get bricked if the home doesn't respond?

I'm considering buying one, being in India, so would appreciate an explanation.

As long as India and China have a good stance with each other there will probably be no problems. But if that ever changes, who can tell if services won't be "disrupted" by "accident" and take longer than expected to be fully functional again (if ever).

Same goes for Tesla. Same goes for every brand, but some are probably more likely than other to be used as a kind of "weapon" in a trade war or sth. alike.

I understand those aspects.

I'm asking for specifics. i.e., which system(s) of BYD call home which if didn't work end up bricking or severely impact the working of the vehicle.
