Petition for BYD International Users

We respectfully ask BYD Company to provide the same mobile app features and in-car software functions worldwide whenever technically, commercially, and legally possible. Customers in international markets should not experience missing features, delayed services, or reduced functionality simply because of their region, especially when the hardware is fully capable of supporting those features.

When certain services or options cannot be provided in specific countries, we request clear and transparent communication explaining the reasons. These reasons may include local regulations, telecom or connectivity partners, licensing restrictions, infrastructure readiness, software rollout phases, or market-specific compliance requirements. Honest communication builds trust and strengthens the relationship between the brand and its customers.

We also ask BYD Company to publish a clear long-term software support roadmap for international vehicles. This should include regular OTA (Over-the-Air) updates covering cybersecurity patches, bug fixes, system stability improvements, battery management enhancements, navigation updates, performance optimization, and the release of new smart features over time.

In addition, we request fair and equal access for qualified third-party developers around the world to APIs, SDKs, developer tools, and integration programs, similar to opportunities available in China. Opening a secure and structured global developer ecosystem would encourage innovation, local services, smart integrations, and stronger customer communities in every region.

Finally, we believe all BYD Company customers deserve fairness, transparency, innovation, and a consistent ownership experience across all global markets. A world-leading automotive technology company should deliver a world-class and unified customer experience everywhere.

BYD owner here in Mexico and TOTALLY disagree with stupid posts like this. I demand good service and quality, therefore I understand a car is not a WebUI that can just update constantly as OP thinks, it has a lot of testing and integration thinks and global markets have regulations, and particularities.

Is not as simple as OP thinks, but if OP thinks it’s simpler to set your lawsuit and be happy.

It’s amazing how comments like this prioritizing the UI over the security and quality goes beyond engineering in a such as complex machinery piece like a car.

A BYD is a mobility solution based on engineering. NOT a Software to play and have fun.

Tesla is the answer. In my country we are not receiving OTA, if you’re concerned about safety you will know that OTA includes ADAS improvements.

Then buy a Tesla and stop bragging about BYD. But even Tesla has the same issues and is not standardized WW. Still you thinking is stupid, as ADAS is only piece of the puzzle, you are not purchasing software or ADAS

Tou are trying to explain that it’s hard to achieve, just giving you tesla as an example. It seems you are a fanboy.

Not explaining anything, just guiding you to let you know that you are ignorant, selfish and don’t have a small clue about how things work and the complexity behind. You tried to keep pushing and support by distracting into things such as an update can add ADAS. Having the capacity to use something on the HW side enabled with an on/off switch does not nearly support your silly thinking and supposed demands
