Volvo Thailand has had some substantial price cuts down to Tesla money:

Seems like they have introduced single motor versions of the 2 models. The twin-motor versions have the same prices as earlier .

The price difference between the 2 motor alternatives however does not make sense.

Ex30 performance is certainly an exciting car.

I think most of the Volvos currently sold in Thailand are made in Malaysia. Not sure how the taxes are compared with China.

Just visited the BYD dealership in rayong. They said Seal is probably coming to Thailand in November and the price starting at 1.7mthb. 

Both the Neta S and BYD Seal seems to be Tesla 3 competitors. The price in Thailand will probably be lower than Tesla, so 2.5 mthb is not wishful thinking. The question is if and when Neta S will come to Thailand. Byd Seal however look like it's coming this year.

 Tesla having the most selling car was a response to the claim that Tesla is overpriced.

You will not have the most selling car if it is overpriced.

The European cars in Thailand which are overpriced surely will feel the pressure from Teslas pricing and will have to adjust pricing if they want to stay in business here.

Many reviews consider the top models from Nio, Xpeng, Hongqi, polestar amongst others to be premium. 

others, perhaps like yourself have different opinion.

You might want to update your knowledge.

Tesla is currently the most-selling car in the world and the prices in Thailand are quite well aligned with the prices in Europe. (Maybe +10%) With the other brands you mention (+Volvo) the prices in Thailand are much higher than Europe. I am surprised so many Thai customers are willing to pay this huge premium to get the right logo on the car.  Bmw ix3 is 85% more expensive than Tesla Y (2 wheel drive) in Thailand, in Sweden it is less than 30%. Volvo xc40 recharge is  cheaper than tesla Y (4 wheel drive) in Sweden, In Thailand+20%.

I believe the very overpriced European car brands will have to normalize their prices with Tesla and many soon coming premium Chinese car models from China entering Thailand.

Anyone got an appointment yet?

don't expect to hear anything before end of next week.

Would not recommend michelin pilot street. Hard and slippery surface after less than 2 years. Will switch to irc s99t which i believe is an upgrade from the standard irc tire.

For wine made from grapes ,the tax rate is Bt1,500 per litre of alcoholic content for a wine bottle not exceeding Bt1,000.

The rate for wine made from grapes mixed with other fruits is 10 per cent of the price and Bt150 per litre of alcoholic content. 

10 times higher tax for the alcohol in wine made from grapes.

For the health of the thai people :)
