If you order the extra NFC at 500 baht, can they be used so the first one sets driver's seat position for driver 1 and so on?

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

Is there the option to change from a light background to a dark background ?

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

What are the boot liner and floor mats like ?, not expecting top notch but good enough to save me buying any ?

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

Well done!

 

By the way, the buttons on the door are NOT for the seat memories.

Then my sales girl lied to me 🙄

Congratulations, looks amazing.

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

Will tomorrow be a good enough day?

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

my son has 2 dedicated parking spaces in his condo in Bangkok both with dedicated charges one for a mg maxus and one for a bmw i4

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.

BYD Buriram are not sure if our car will be ready for collection today (paperwork) and tomorrow is an "Unlucky Day"  😠

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

Are you suggesting that, when the DAW system detects you're tired, all you get is that coffee icon thingy?

 

I was hoping for more than that.

 

I'd also like to know how it monitors and analyses your driving.

 

 

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

Anyone any idea of the workings of the DAW - Driver Attention Warning?

 

I can only find very vague descriptions of exactly what it does. The manual's description is hopeless. Presumably it makes some sort of visual/audible alarm if the car detects that your driving is becoming sloppy or you’re nodding off.

 

I’ve found a detailed description about how a similar feature on a Kia works, but I’d love to know what to expect on the Seal.

Did you mean the TFAC ?

anyone who has an MG can also charge their BYD cars at all the MG stations on high-speed DC

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

Just now, JBChiangRai said:

I think the same on single phase, maybe faster on 3 phase, i’m sure someone who’s read the manual will confirm if they charge at 11 kW on three phase?

 

I think MG is 7.2Kw regardless.

What are BYD like compared with MG when it comes to home charging P?

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.
