Electric Vehicles in Thailand

Add July, August and possibly September to the 43,981 units BYD has already sold in Thailand 🇹🇭 and they will be close to 50k. It will limited how many units they can produce locally in 2024, so they will have to produce 1.5x that number in 2025. Is that even possible and what happens if they don't match their sales numbers? -

Is the deposit refunded to the buyer when the loan approval falls through or is that pocketed by the dealership? -

BYD has 4 months of falling y-o-y sales. Supply issue or has the brand lost its appeal for Thai buyers? -

I understand your concern, but hopefully a news article will confirm it tomorrow. An895xIhQNTXm7supTiY6WQU9vqKLyZC9GUcMx8MYm6hTGSQrmpMCYZjFIO3BnVbfNxfL71HEzTChfqINEFQx5E.mp4 -

I know this is not everyone's cup of tea, but this is breaking news. Neta-V accident and fire 🔥. An8XwAH41gs0x76lYgTm1doQUHNxR-X5s0LXt8n0n-IkvJ9yWHhyAy43vpstFMQPkGpw48hHPh-RUicSyBKh4qwC.mp4 -

There may after all be some truth to the myth that the electromagnetic fields in an EV destroy the cognitive ability to handle Euclidean mathematics, as first postulated by one of our members with an advanced master degree from the local kindergarten. Autolife has joined our own ranks of faulty percentage calculation. 5,474/45,101=12.1% and not 13%. -

Ciaz Registrations numbers for May are in. This is part of the debate, mostly between @vinny41 and @JBChiangRai, of the lag time between sales and registrations. The Ciaz promotion ran from March 1st to April 7th. There were zero "extra" registrations showing in the March numbers and numbers are still raising in May. -

Welcome to the thread BB9. Your humor and common sense is most welcome here, even more so since you are an EV owner. Since @Pib already has opened the morning with humor, let's celebrate ur arrival with an EV fire 🔥 involving a lot of electricity and a vehicle, but no EV. 10933660_1525421521078997_1379258205_n.mp4 -

The Burmese worker is reserved for the black gold and shelter is already provided for 😊 😃. If you want a caramel macchiato with vanilla sweet cream cold foam you have to leave the beloved EV and go to Amazon. -

This looks fun. EV owners live a much more exciting live than the rest of us. An-Uq2hihBtNqoFnjWt-4t9XWfFGOxrMNwXFwS42f_YymhvJP-DSINlexnFWKeM5EBef9BijQQHqra7IM4fmsnY.mp4 -

Sadly there was never an update on the above list of EV discounts, but as far as the Chinese are concerned, the price war is not over yet. -

I will be DeadExpatOilWorker by then 😁. I think you are right about your Atto 3, just don't take the IP67 rating for granted, just because the manual says so. Your wish for a flooded Atto 3 is my command. -

You are a brave man field testing Chinese IP67 rating. Will be interesting to see if your vehicle makes it to the end of the 8 years warranty period. Please keep us posted. -

That is so true. I got a "fancy" outdoor LED garden lamp, it lasted about half an hour in the Thai rain. The Chinese are feeding landfills around the world. EVs are not exception and it is starting to show. -

The MG promotional video (7:22) in the Mr. DIY video is indicating that "half the tyres" is the center of the axle or 34.7 cm if you have 215 / 55 R18 Front Tyres & 215 / 55 R18 Rear Tyres on your Atto 3. -

This case highlights the shortfall of the BYD warranty. If the battery casing failed, BYD should have jumped in and replaced it, but at the end the insurance company ended up with the bill. It is almost as if BYD is doing a California Fitness with their 8 years warranty. Everything is covered and guaranteed, unless something fails. -
