Then my sales girl lied to me 🙄

I believe you mean the car and not my video which was a real rush job, unscripted and done in one take

BYD Seal Customer Collection

Family negotiations went on without me, but lunch and a day out in Buriram was enough to turn today from unlucky into a lucky day

Good to hear. Sold my condo in BKK years ago and I'm not up to date on the state of play. Saw the MG Maxus 9 at the BKK motor show very impressive, ideal if you have a driver to go with it.

Car not available today but ready for collection from 2pm tomorrow- surely that makes today unlucky and tomorrow lucky 🤔

can’t help you but I might be able ask at the showroom later today

Did you mean the TFAC ? Time For A Coffee

Latest update on my White BYD Seal Premium Performance. BYD Buriram are not sure if our car will be ready for collection today (paperwork) and tomorrow is an "Unlucky Day" 😠

I asked my MG dealer and they said I needed an MG card that costs ฿1,500

They both give a free wall charger and installation. MG uses Prime to do the installation and they don't like(understand) Solar. BYD uses a different company (name escapes me currently) and I was assured by the dealer that having solar was not a problem.

EV subsidies in Thailand to be continued but at a greatly reduced level For the EV 3.5 measure, the Thai government will provide subsidies for electric cars, electric pickup trucks, and electric motorcycles. By type of car and battery size as follows 1. In the case of electric cars priced no more than 2 million baht with a battery size of more than 50 kWh, they will receive a subsidy between 50,000 - 100,000 baht/car. For a battery size of less than 50 kWh, they will receive a subsidy between 20,000 - 50,000 baht/car. 2. In the case of electric pickup trucks priced not more than 2 million baht with a battery capacity of 50 kWh or more, they will receive a subsidy between 50,000 - 100,000 baht/vehicle. 3. In the case of electric motorcycles priced no more than 150,000 baht with a battery size of more than 3 kWh, they will receive a subsidy between 5,000 - 10,000 baht/bike. https://www.posttoday.com/business/701455

wondered if anyone would notice 👍 That is the current plan, but things can change.

In a Thai household the “Chew Len” (nickname - literally play name) is important May I introduce “Moo Dang” (red pig) and “Mot Dang” (red ant) The problem currently is what to call our White Seal. Seal in Thai is “Maw Nam” (water cat) but “Maw Nam See Cow” (white water cat) is a bit long for a nickname I did suggest the car already has it’s name on the back, so why not call it 3.8? Not cute apparently. We will probably stick with just “Maw Nam” (water cat) for now but if we end up getting his & her seals, the lack of colour distinction might cause confusion. Any suggestions grateful received

Apparently the deal could be approved if I could buy a nice handbag to go in the space under the drive selector. Unfortunately the handbag has to accommodate an iPhone, the one that’s as big as a surfboard.

I don’t know why people are crying like a baby about EV electricity usage when the electricity used by EVs is a tiny fraction of the energy used in crypto mining. Yet you never hear a single complaint about crypto mining being a complete waste of energy. “Cryptocurrency has an energy consumption problem. Bitcoin alone is estimated to consume 127 terawatt-hours (TWh) a year — more than many countries, including Norway” https://rmi.org/cryptocurrencys-energy-consumption-problem/

Hopefully

We put down a deposit on a White Seal Premium on September 29th (They released the price info at 6pm on Sept 28th) Was told will get in October or early November. Called the sales girl this morning and she didn’t know when the next premium would arrive. Ask if the Q for performance was any shorter “we have a white performance at the showroom now if you want it” 🤔

I get this question so often that I made a video about it.

Completely understandable. If you look at the design criteria section I lay out the priorities for the build. This is where you have to make compromises and if you want the most efficient home possible you have to move away from what most people consider attractive in a house. In Thailand that is a house that you would expect to see in North America or Northern Europe with big picture windows. I was lucky that I have a very understanding wife.

Go on admit it. How many of you have got one of these and no car to plug it into 🤨
