How is this plan of yours working out?

Unemployed is increasing in the US, the Fed is already said it will lower interest rates this year and we are probably in for a wild election. A slowdown in the US will hurt the exporting economics of Asia. Europe is stagnant and Ursula is all about trade barriers. War is brewing in the Middle East, as usual. Asia have had 27 good years since the Tom yum goong crises in 1997. Time for some pad thai or is it sushi 🍣 this time around?

A CATL battery in Mercedes did exactly what @blackcab predicted and it it just a matter of time before it also happens in Thailand. "Mercedes EV Burst Into Flames In Underground Parking, 21 People Injured Due To Smoke It took 8 hours for firefighters to extinguish the fire, with black smoke filling up the apartment complex...." https://www.carscoops.com/2024/08/mercedes-ev-burst-into-flames-in-underground-parking-21-people-injured-due-to-smoke/

Just like a Nokia 3310 today, some EVs will be drivable and functional 20 years from now, but they will be as obsolete as the Nokia phone. EVs are technology driven and new functions and features are constantly added, especially this early in the development phase. 20 years from now, even Flintstone will be embarrassed to drive the EVs we see today.

The FactCheck patrol 🚓 will have to step in here. EVs in Thailand burn 🔥 pretty well. How come you don't like numbers from China, but happily quote fake numbers from 4 other countries??? Thai EV fire 🔥 risk: 10.1 fire/billion miles Tesla global: 5 fire/billion miles ICE (USA): 55 fires/billion miles 1. Tesla 3 - September 20th, 2021, power pole collision Rama 2. 2. BYD Atto 3 - January 21st, 2023, house fire, Songkran. Traction battery did not burn. 3. BYD Seal - March 14th, 2024, Ratchaburi roll-over. 4. Porsche Taycan - May 24th, 2024, battery explosion, Paradise Car Showroom. 5. Neta-V - June 11th, 2024, median accident and fire, Saraburi. 6. Neta-V - June 12th, 2024, accident and fire at towing area, Tha Phra, Khon Kaen. 7. MG ES - June 22nd, 2024, hit axle part on the road, Chonburi motorway.

We are about a week away from the release of July's registration numbers, but best to start the anti-gloating treatment early, as it should be pretty easy for EVs to beat 💓 the 10.8% market share fraction from 2023.

BeYondDiscount's price policy is clearly showing that BYD will happily send customers down the creek without a paddle. 10 years from now, they will have build a wall of excuses not to service you or honor any of your warranty claims.

Road trip.....EV style. An99x3vIhwP_xhV7eowW3rlUQiVIbZROZmCC7kSZfkNoSjcJ0jZFG8SS78cZe0GdKlEqQ2INnyaGh9qcPI-uNxwH.mp4

Not to mention the Hawking radiation from the black hole inside EV owners head 😁 😆. ssstwitter.com_1721393933929.mp4

ICE will dominate the transportation sector for decades to come. An-j9EyHkez6CEEytZAb0MZK2k5zgYqcjwT8Gt9Nh7J4PhFaVKPj2pChFkFUYg9LhEed0zNLBZ-2NC2_c7_kDst7.mp4

Chinese EV show what it is made of. ssstwitter.com_1722255863104.mp4

Meanwhile, BYD and probably also the CCP are tracking everything in and around your Seal 🦭, including location, video and voice conversations. That is OK?

Currently 0.45% of ALL registered vehicles in Thailand are EVs. Unless we start shooting ICE owners on sight, your dream of 90% EVs on the road will be just that.....a dream 😴.

I have adjusted the graph for when you have the next percentage class.

The wine conneciour is doing a second derivative, the percentage change of a percentage value.

The electromagnetic fields are again playing tricks with your percentage calculating skills. Did you catch BYDifitis? How on earth 🌎 did you get 30% for March???? 🤪 It should be 43% May should be 12%, not 11%. June 10.7%, sigh 😕, round up to 11% Let me be a gentleman and fix it for you, I will even add February for free 😊 😃 😀. -64% February (minus!!!) 43% March 2% April 12% May 11% June

What is new is all that sensitive electronics sitting on the underbelly of the car. Protected, yes, but still the most exposed part of a vehicle. An9NP6aGUcnSnPu7bWy22IHd9Vp4LIuoHcYAapIq4bD2VpeuJPXX_PrQd7prxvxeK84LPRhmrSb8_E_022GmWEUf.mp4

You should worry about Mazda and Stellantis, they got Toyotafinitis. https://archive.ph/MdXLk

July 1, 2024 EV summary Thailand 🇹🇭. EV registrations: 126,458 Total EV miles driven: 691.9 million miles

Soon we can throw Vinfast into the dumpster fire 🔥.

I call my wife #1 every day of the week, but I sure don't have 2 wives. A savvy chart creator would have used the #1 of 2 nomenclature. Over and out from the FactCheck patrol.

The EV culling has already started.

I once tripped the 50 A breaker at my Bangkok condo. 3 ACs, oven, stove, TV, fridge, lights and maybe the water heater kicked in, using 12,000 W. This was unusual consumption, but 3,500 W is is cutting is short for peak load.
