Ukraine is pushing, but also taking loses. Can they sustain it? Note the tree ???? at the bottom.

Your guess is as good as mine, only the future will reveal the truth. Talking about fires ????, if BYD maintain 2,000 sales/month, then the first "real" fire should statistically happen on December 8th, 2024. At that day the combined fleet of BYD cars should have done 360 million km.

Very good point. Your excel sheet might show huge fuel savings in favor of the EV, but after 10 years the BYD might be worth less than the then 25 years old Fortuner. Total cost is tricky business in this electrifying new world.

I was hoping you would stay around and share that sheet with us over the next 15 years, before you go to EV heaven. You can use one2car or insurance data for the Fortuner, it is only an accounting tracker anyway.

The Senate's mandate expire next year. Pita "only" needs 251 seats ???? to run the show.

Pib, do me a favor and add 2 extra columns that include depreciation for each vehicle. Your Fortuner is still a nice car and have value after 15 years. It will be interesting to see how much value the BYD retains over the next 15 years.

Do you recall the medical term for your sinus problem? What is similar to the below?

I just noticed the fine print in Pib's post. EV3.5 increased it to 2 vehicles in 2026 and 3 in 2027.

Is the subsidie still linked to future domestic production? EV3.0 use to require 1 vehicle produced and sold locally in 2024 and 1.5 vehicle in 2025, right?

NZ sure does some funny comedy shows. Reminds me of this one. https://m.imdb.com/title/tt9319608/

What a great ???? time. Great horse manure crisis of 1894 https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Great_horse_manure_crisis_of_1894

Burning ???? witches ????‍♀️ wasn't illegal around 1500, but that don't make it more right. The predatory and national self-centered business practices of CCP is appalling.

It is just my own play with average numbers. A smartphone uses 10 wh/day or 0.3 kWh/month. Your house = 800 kWh/month EV = 1,200 kWh/year Thailand = 200 billion kWh/year. From that you get: 1 phone = 62,500 EVs

Support what? The phone/house vs. EV/power grid calculation?

Just drive more and you will save more.

Nope, evenly distributed.

Do you mind if I charge my phone at your house? Maybe you do, but if I still did it, you wouldn't be able to spot it in your electricity bill. How about 10 phones? No, let's make it 100 phones charging at your house. Each phone only charges for 1 hour/day, so on average 4 phones are charging at any given time. Your meter and main breaker board can easily handle it. 1,000 phones are probably also doable. Assuming you are using 800 kWh/month, 1 phone at your house is the equivalent to 62,500 EVs added to the Thai power grid.

That is admittedly a nice car although a hardtop suits Thailand better. This begs the question, why haven't BMW and Mercedes build a car like that? Are we seeing a "Nokia" moment for the legacy auto-makers or are the Chinese blowing smoke and mirrors ?????

Why not getting a breaker with RCBO/ELCB?

I am also considering getting a home BP monitor, but unsure which one. Can you recommend one? Is the below OMRON HEM-7120 a good choice? Check out OMRON HEM-7120 เครื่องวัดความดัน(Cuff22-32cm...at 20% off!฿1,318.00 only!Get it on Lazada now! | https://s.lazada.co.th/s.PcF5i

Congratulations on your new vehicle. Your choice is well throughout and I think you picked the right car, model, size and time to buy. What color did you get it in? The delivery time and Free warranty is mind-boggling. Please keep us posted over the years if BYD honor this commitment. Which dealer/showroom did you use? Will be interesting to see if you go full EVangelist and let cobwebs take over the old Fortuner.

I bought two 4-20 mA submersible Chinese pressure transducers, both lasted less than 2 month before water ingress killed them. Magic unicorns ???? ✨️ must roam freely around the Chinese EV industry if it is totally OK to dip your HIGH voltage batteries in water from time to time.

Sure, but probably with money ???? they scammed out of Chevron. https://www.reuters.com/article/us-thailand-chevron-idUSKBN26N1V5

To be fair, the BTS/MRT are amazing infrastructure projects with high quality foreign made rolling stock.
