One answer to this conundrum lies in BYD’s ability to manufacture most of its components in-house. This allows the company to significantly reduce production costs and better control quality and the supply chain

Another important aspect is BYD’s ability to integrate complex components into simplified modules. A clear example of this is the E-Axle 8 in 1, which combines motor, inverter and reducer into a single unit

People also forget BYD Thailand factory is already operational and not all its cars are made in China.

One of the travel vlogger the article quoted went out of his way and accidentally stumbled into a military site. Perhaps you should watch his series to judge for yourself.
