I've never seen it turn on by itself. But I've seen it turn off. This cars needs an update to fix this, iTAC should always stay on unless we manually switch it off.

Maybe the peak isn't reduced but I can definitely feel the acceleration gets less punchy. The iTAC is surely needed for the maximum performance of the car. You can try the same thing I do, check the iTAC at random times after starting the car. In my case I've linked it to using the remote aircon with seat ventilation. If I don't do that then the iTAC stays on (as it always should unless I wanted to switch it off).

I'd like you to check something if possible. Next time you use this (aircon+seats remotely), once you're back driving go to the menus and see if the iTAC has been switched off. It seems to happen in mine whenever I remotelly activate the aircon and vented seats. Then I have to manually navigate the menus and turn iTAC back on. When it's off there is a significant loss of performance.

Ah ok that's good to know. So there is some little bits of data still allowed for these basic uses. For other stuff such as maps and music I only use Apple car play which uses the data from my phone anyway.

But without a working SIM can the car remote functions (location and remote aircon for example) still work? Will the car be able to connect to a WIFI hotspot if it's off? Let's say I leave a small 5G modem inside the car, would it give me the same functionalities that the car would normally have with the working SIM?

It's all messed up again, a lot of restrictions in a lot of provinces. IMO at least they should leave the tiny drones (under 250g) out of it, they look nothing like the drones actually used in war.

I just checked this, 100b/day. Thanks

Thanks I'll check that one.

Can't, too many people and luggage, I'm going by taxi because I need a much larger car.

I am going overseas for a few weeks and I want a place to park my car. I don't have a garage, normally I park on the street but I go work every day with it and during the sun hours (while at work) I got access to an underground parking. Unfortunately I can't leave the car there for weeks, I am looking a (covered) alternative. I don't want to leave it roasting under the sun or getting crapped on under a tree. Malls and Big C have explicit rules (rightfully so) against that and would fine me big, so those are a no-go. I didn't get any luck with neighbors either. Is there anywhere I could leave my car? I wouldn't mind paying (a fair/reasonable amount).

You were saying?

Do these cause a lot of battery drain? I know someone who has a Tesla and tells me that leaving sentry mode on full time will drain around 10% of the car battery per day.

Thanks! I guess that would be it. Wonder what sound it makes and if it is customizable.

Got a question about the Seal: is there a setting for it to make a noise to warn pedestrians when driving slowly? I've seen it in a video but it was not in Thailand. I checked one model in Thailand and didn't find the setting.

Pattaya has a multitude of terrible design flaws in the roads. My particular peeve are the pedestrian crosswalks placed at 2nd road near Soi6 and on Pattaya Klang near Buakhao. They are placed immediately after someone comes from the smaller Soi blends in without warning and without visibility to the traffic light. Coming from that Soi (Soi AR?) into 2nd road you have a lot of things to look for, with a large tree blocking your view, and immediately as you're in 2nd road there is a crosswalk which has a traffic light exactly above your head so you can't see if it's green or not. WHY not place the crosswalk BEFORE the merging area?

For someone that got their license but is still not ready and needs to get more confident, where to practice in Pattaya (or surrounding areas)? Ideally somewhere far from the action, with a good asphalt and no kids/dogs running around.

Thanks, I think this makes a lot of sense. I'll just wait then. From what google AI told me it was released even a little bit cheaper than the previous model, which would make me kick myself if it came out after I had bought the previous model.

35k+ is high for a 2 year old car, especially electrical 23k is more reasonable. Why would you sell it?

Very very few, on FB marketplace there are TWO that I could find, but high mileage for such a recent car.

They simply disappeared, up to like a month ago they were being sold in shopping malls, even the supermarket near my house had one on display. I messaged one guy that works in a Bkk dealership and he said he is confident that he could get me one (not my first pick of color though). So far this month I haven't seen a single shop that actually "has" it. They act like they do at first but when it's time to confirm things then they don't have it.

I'm guessing I won't be getting this version of the Seal. The dealership seller couldn't find one for me yet, the test drive ones are sold out also. They're trying to push me a Sealion 7 but I want a low sporty car, already got a big family one.

What you said makes sense, if I knew for sure that a new Seal (Performance) is coming I would wait, the new version seems to have improvements like a sunshade for the roof, a better suspension and a stronger AC. The price of the test drive Seal is 1M (200k) discount and it has around 2000km on it, pretty much all of it just driving up and down the street. My issue would be the color they have (white). My neighbour has a mango tree (or another large tree) that has these nasty orange droplets that are super hard to remove from white car paint.

Is the Seal Performance sold out? I went to two dealerships. The first one said they don't have it, but might have a used (test drive car) for sale, but it was not in that shop (I want to look first) and not the color I want. The second dealership asked me for a 10k deposit which I paid, and the salesman asked me for up to 2 weeks to confirm that they have it. If they don't (which I think will be the case), he said I'll get my deposit back. I would wait a few months if I knew for sure that the new model is coming, but there are zero confirmations or even rumours about that.

How much is owed on this fee? Might be just better to pay the damn thing and when you move out hide a piece of blue cheese inside the ceiling.

Earlier this week I saw on CAAT new restrictions that drone flying was forbidden in the red areas in those provinces that border Cambodia. Then on the same day I saw on Facebook (from CAAT) another post restricting drones all over Thailand. And now I see this: They got really serious about the drones, I'm not so sure the restriction will be lifted anytime soon.
