Someone has to keep the wheels 🛞 turning.

That is correct. The natural survival instinct kicked in and the claim was later watered down to 3 consecutive months of y-o-y declining market share. On that claim you are still on green pasture, but have some tough month ahead.

Thanks to 175 EV buyers @JBChiangRai's cambit with destiny paid off and the grim reaper walks away empty handed (Last years claim: We will never see 3 consecutive months of y-o-y falling EV registrations in his lifetime). I have added the 2022 numbers, look how small they are. The EV revolution really started in 2023.

Thanks @Pib. Steep discounts do work and as EV factories start production in a falling car market, Thailand will have a significant production over capacity. I think we will see a lot more discounts from ICE manufacturers going forward. Suzuki already cut 51k off the Celerio price. Maybe @transam is in the market for an upgrade? 147 registrations in April out of 592 sales in March, we might still see some of those sales as registrations in May. Any change you can find the January number, just to get a full data set? Ciaz 2024 Registrations: January: February: 26 March: 28 April: 147

Does it come in diesel also?

Awesome 👌 news!!

More tax to solve an unsolvable problem.

Nice, thanks. Interesting that autolife got the numbers exactly right in February and March, but was off a bit in January. Please share the EV registration numbers if u see them.

The autolife February article is for EVs only, so naturally no Ciazs would be listed, since it is an ICEV.

Autolife are sales numbers, right? What matters are the registrations numbers you pull from the DLT site. With 592 Ciaz sales in March, we could see 3-400 registration in April. When are the previous month's data usually available? 2nd or 3rd day of the month?

BTS gone cute 😍.

@Pib can you have a look at the Ciaz numbers again when they are out? Also the January number if possible. Ciaz registration 2024: January: February: 26 March: 28 April: This is to track the very generous discount by Suzuki.

The Foreign Correspondents' Club of Thailand expresses its deepest condolences to the family and many friends of Colin Hastings, a longtime FCCT journalist member. Colin died suddenly on Monday afternoon in Bang Saray near Sattahip in Chonburi province when the car he was driving hit a wall. Emergency services were unable to revive him, and he was declared dead at the scene of the accident at around 3.15pm.There were no other casualties. A veteran British journalist with Fleet Street experience, Colin arrived in Bangkok in 1973, and worked on numerous publications with the Bangkok Post and at Media Transasia. He went on to become the first editor of Thailand Tatler in 1991, and in 1999 launched his own expat-focused publication, Big Chilli, which he managed to keep afloat while print media all over the world went out of business. A superb squash player, Colin was an outstanding all-round sportsman and highly clubbable. He served on the board of the British Club, and moved as easily in Thai society as he did in foreign circles. The FCCT will publish a fuller tribute to Colin in the coming days, along with details of arrangements for his funeral.

They should have used a lifting frame for the big bags.

In a picture, is this how you feel?

That is a fun site to explore, thanks for sharing. Is precipitation data also available on that site? I can see cloud cover and all sorts of weather data, but not rain. Looks like 1950 had a few very hot days.

Well, it was not our first rodeo 😳

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. SlSelQnTXsmg3uWm.mp4

Make that $1,050 for Q1 2024. https://www.investors.com/news/byd-earnings-rise-11-but-china-ev-giant-falls-short-of-views/

Mid-size Luxury car. The Bimmer feel proud of itself now.

Next month should be fun.

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 👍.

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.

August 25th?
