Thank you for your reporting!

You are using Vue I18n compostion API mode.
In that case, the API prefixed with $ operates in the global scope.
$tc is not provided in Composition API mode, it's Legayc API mode only.
it can be used with $t as follows.

resources:

{
   "car": "car | cars",
 }

template:

<template>
  <h1>{{ $t('car', 1) }}</h1>
</template>

PS:
To reduce the cognitive load caused by the difference in detailed behavior between Legacy API and Composition API,
I am currently working on v10, I’ll merge legacy API $tc into $t.
