I wouldn't call $1,250 1.5% margin
Make that $1,050 for Q1 2024.

The debate is officially over and I have found some unequivocal proof that EV are superior to ICEVs.
Thanks to EV owners penny-pinching and general energy saving nature, combined with EV's speed sensitive range, EVs will never have to contribute to the local speed tax.
A big shout-out to SeñorLA's, @KhunLA local law enforcement agency for catching these pesky CO2 spreading ICE law breakers 👍.

LFP battery ESS (which ours are) will probably last way longer than me, and probably the wife also. So not expecting to buy any to replace them. If anything, will add the EV's battery pack to the solar system, after the rest of the car craps out, in maybe 20 years or more.
A possible 3000 cycles, of which we only use about 33% per night, so times that 20 years by 3. Pretty safe to say, we should be fine and not need to replace in our life time, since I'm 69, and wife is 47.
I have tears in my eyes now, both eyes 😢 👀.
It is a sad 😔 day and the world 🌎 had been turned completely upside down when you expect the Chinese made batteries in ur gadgets to outlive you.
Most, if not all the electronics I got from China only lasted a few years and I have a few temperature sensors that burn through batteries every 3-4 months.

I am getting 30 GB @ 5g speed for 399 with AIS.
Pretty reasonable.

You see missing clips, I see missing Chinese quality control.

Only if it comes with a big tube of superglue.

Atrue believer in bidenomics... 555... I you are losing on every unit and you sell more units... you are not making anything "up"... you are losing more... subsidies are the reappropriation of moneys taken from the citizens to support a failed state program... it is not profit.
They could also just continue to lose money 💰 until they go out of business and we can all live happily ever after 😊.
Isn't this exactly what @KhunLA has been looking for?
....cut the price of its Li Mega multipurpose minivan by 30,000 yuan, or 5.4 per cent, to 529,800 yuan. Launched in March this year, the fully-electric minivan described by its maker as being essentially a “mobile home” is designed to cater to the travel demands of wealthy families and is fitted with a refrigerator and a sofa.

Over capacity increases costs.
It will increase sunk cost, but that is OK 👍.
The Chinese are losing money on every vehicle sold, but make it up on volume.....and state subsidies.

Actually, I do enjoy their trolling, especially when accompanied with inaccurate and/or ignorant comments.
Keep up the good work boys.
G-man is the man, we are staying.
Here is a bit of factual information: China 🇨🇳 is sitting on 10 million of un-needed vehicle production capacity.
Expect more discounts and price wars on all vehicle types. The next few years will be golden times to buy a new car 🚗.

Or are well funded lobby groups countering competition with propaganda and bureaucratic obstruction?
Perhaps not dis-similar to initial resistance to Japan then Korea then Taiwan then Chinese whatevers?
Looks like BYD has a service problem in Thailand 🇹🇭.

Chinese EVs Become Virtually Uninsurable In UK Even Though There’s Nothing Wrong With Them
Lack of parts, Long period off the road waiting for parts from China ,No documentation on how to repair vehicles, mismatch in the viability of repairs Chinese costs vs European Costs
No Supply Chain
https://www.carscoops.com/2024/03/chinese-evs-become-virtually-uninsurable-in-the-uk-says-report/
Sounds like chaos in the BYD/MG after market service centers. Is it any different in Thailand 🇹🇭 or are the Chinese brands hanging their customers out to dry?

Has anyone been burned to death (while refueling their car) in Thailand?
More than 100 in a single day on September 24th, 1990.
Even of you had lighting balls shooting 🔫 out of your headlamps, EVs will never match the carnage dino fuel ⛽️ can unleash.

Definitely not.
I cannot see Porsche limiting their EV's Taycan & Macan. If you do EV's you HAVE to do ICE, nope, never, not going to happen.
Vinny actually has a good point and EV owners might soon "volunteering" lower their cars performance, to avoid paying an insurance premium.
In Russia, having a dash camera reduces insurance cost and we know EV owners are penny pinchers at the pump or power cable, so most will go slow 🐌 to save a few baht.

Yes I can see the problem.
EV sales are accelerating and it's a disaster (for the EV haters).
Nothing is going wrong!
The customers are joyously happy!
They can charge everywhere!
They pay 20-25% of the cost for fuel they paid for ICE and some even pay nothing!
They have 1% of the moving parts of ICE so need very little servicing!
They don't break down!
They don't catch fire!
They go hundreds of kilometers before needing recharging!
Charging only takes the time it takes to have a coffee!
They only take an average of 4 kWhrs of electricity per day which the power grid can EASILY absorb. What the video said is correct in some countries and specifically in some places in countries, those places specifically being high speed charging stations on motorways which do need feeding with a high current supply. That requires local grid changes back to the very high voltage grid.
All in not well 😢 🤧 on planet EV.
Vinfast might be the first major player to fall from grace. Tesla is feeling the ache of an old man and some of the lesser known Chinese brands are doomed to fail.

Electric Vehicles in Thailand

Elmo has secretly been testing a low cost Tesla Model.
Musk plans to speed up the introduction of more affordable vehicles but Tesla’s idea of a low EV price is reported to be around $25,000.
