Because they do not need to. They basically sell every car they can manufacture.
BYD has had countries courting them to build factories there in all sorts of places from Brazil to Russia and elsewhere.

They need to advertise if they want to outsell Toyota worldwide. All products need some advertisement, if you want brand recognition.

BYD Dolphin on sale in Australia
I think it will sell really well in Australia and all of APAC

The best thing about Dolphin in Australia is that they actually kept the name. For a while there was some talk of rebadging it to something utterly forgettable like Atto 2. I miss the days when most vehicles had characterful names rather than BMW/Mercedes-style alphanumeric gibberish. Toyota's bZ4X is possibly the worst name for a vehicle I have ever encountered.

The aircraft are essentially identical, and Chinese certification of the Prosperity 1 is expected 2 1/2-3 years after that of the Carryall, Yu says. Where the Carryall uses NMC811 high-silicon lithium-ion battery cells with an energy density of 330 Wh/kg, the Prosperity 1 will use 400 Wh/kg solid-state batteries.
look at that, 400 wh/kg SSB used on aircraft.

Sales numbers from the past week. BYD was at about 58k including Denza. Overall PV market was 516K. So BYD was at 11.2% market share. Still imo could improve a lot in the coming month
I think that's a drop. I remember seeing 12-13% market share for BYD in past months/weeks.

Seems a little worrying considering May/June is historically when they start exploding in sales
