Bandersnatch

So no study has been posted….yet? But you seemed very positive that potential EV batteries in Thailand would only last 5 years. So on what based did you come to that conclusion if it’s not based on a published study. Did you just make it up?

You know this as a fact based on a peer reviewed published study that you will now post links to, that EV batteries in Thailand last only 5 years. @TimeMachine Looking forward to reading it.

Her: “They deliver you know” Me: “Happy to pickup myself”

On second thoughts don't bother you can't buy any of these cars in Thailand. So pretty pointless posting it in the electric vehicles in Thailand discussion

Can you post the price in Baht?

Sat the water cat outside on the road with aircon blasting and seat cooling on level 2 with the sun beating down. Went back inside to organise camera equipment and find my lazer thermometer. Meanwhile it completed clouded over!

Installation should be completed by a trained professional using the appropriate plastic trim tools. under no circumstances should the installation be attempted by an amateur with a plastic putty spatula

Ok ok. Since posting my videos I have had a bunch of Aussies posting questions as deliveries haven’t started there. Will get on it

We have been driving the Seal for 2 days with no film at all and not too hot

On my MG HS PHEV I spent ฿9,000 on Hi Kool Ceramic Black Edition on all windows and the sunroof - my BYD dealer quoting ฿7,500 for the same on the smaller Seal. Was it a good investment? Even on a cloudy day the glass temperature was 55C I added foil coated foam between the sun blind and the glass So for now I have added no film to the car at all. I will be testing the car and will report back my findings. The active cooled seats make a big difference and we have found that when the sun goes in we are reaching for the off button.

And my sales girl on 25 Oct stressed not to lose the NFC card as a replacement would cost Bt10K. I wonder if my salesgirl was just flat out wrong or there is a different price for an extra vs a replacement. Next time I go to the dealership I will ask again. Just know the sales girl "stressed" not to lose the card as it's expensive to replace....and she was not talking the electronic key. To put my comment into context, I asked my sales girl what the charging speed of the granny charger was and she said 7kW

Seal approved Handbag and matching purse thanks to Guess

Bad case of silly string

My sales girl quoted me ฿300 for a second NFC card (you get 2 keys) - not sure about the seating position

I have my screen set to Dark mode all the time. I think the blue coloured light mode looks good with the blue interior and dark mode suits the dark interior.

Are you thinking of buying a BYD EV? No I bought one already

Congrats!

You did not post anything about the price of EVs in Thailand. This is off-topic. Start your own discussion somewhere else.

Most of what you have posted is unsubstantiated rubbish. You are clearly not interested in buying an EV. If you want to discuss EVs v ICE then do it in the EVs V ICE discussion. This discussion is about EVs in Thailand If you persist I will report you for attempting to hijack this topic

Please be aware that this a 4,000 post discussion with many members here owning one or more EVs. You really need to check your facts before posting as you are in the presence of experts and will be called out for posting rubbish I regularly see posts claiming that REES are used in large quantities in modern EV batteries but that is incorrect. They were is used in Nickel–metal hydride batteries in older hybrid cars, but that is no longer the case. “ Ce and La are important as catalysts, and are used for petroleum refining and as diesel additives” https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rare-earth_element in the paragraph about REES you quoted Cobalt, Cobalt is not a REE The 2 biggest EV manufactures are BYD - 100% lithium iron phosphate batteries (LFP) - and Tesla whose best selling models by far are the standard range model 3 & Y that now mostly use lithium iron phosphate (LFP). Ford has also moved to LFP All LFP batteries do not use Cobalt. My house battery and EV have no cobalt. You might not know that Cobalt helps to clean petroleum of sulfur impurities that interfere with the refining of liquid fuels

Boot liner looked good actually. Mats are fabric material not the sculptured 3D plastic jobbies - won't stand up to much wear and tear but add to the carpeted opulence of the car
