You said it already. Based on a previous iteration of the Deepal so it's old technology already. Who, except hardcore Mazda fans, will buy it? Not to mention that in my opinion Mazda cars have always been overpriced

Honda is a little bit late to the party. Can't see much market share or sales for it

Thinking about what terms? At home you should be charging according to the TOU timing. And usually I run the battery around or below 20% before charging over night. Using the timer function of my MG 4 I try not to charge over 80% unless we have a long trip on the next day. When we're out with the car, I'm combining the toilet, coffee, eating and 7-11 stop with charging. Really not much difference for me to driving an ICE car with the only requirement that the gas station or rest stop must have a charger. Once I have plugged in, I just hang around at the rest stop. Usually the time for hanging around exceeds the necessary charging time. When I'm on the road I'm never in a rush. The only downside, it requires a bit of planning ahead or during the trip. And you'll need a dozen of different apps for searching and using charging stations 😭. Once you get familiar with it, it's a breeze. Most of the charging companies apps show the current status (available and / or operational) of the charging poles. For some companies (PTT I have in mind) you can even make a reservation at a certain time. If you are going on longer trips, you'll be happy how much money you'll save compared to gasoline or diesel

French mafia chaos: Phuket residents slam tourists’ alley blockade - video
CLW replied to snoop1130's topic in Phuket News
I'm sure they all have a driver's license, proper motorcycle ownership, tax and insurance 😬. Not to mention a helmet. Yet there is zero action. -
The abrupt welcome on my 3rd Visa Exempt
CLW replied to popabear's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
Or China 🤣🤣🤣 Small anecdote: before the great plague I was doing a solo trip to Shantou. Relatively small city near Shanghai. At that time Air Asia had really cheap flights from Thailand to there. So I got my visa in order before. No issues. However, at immigration I was taken aside and the officer took my passport into some back office room. After 10 minutes another officer came back and told me in basic English, that he had never seen a passport from my country (EU) before and had to consult with his colleagues if it was a genuine passport or a fake document 🤣🤣🤣 -

Do you de-carboxylate (heat) your weed before making oil ? -

Not downplaying what he did but so much effort and attention. I wish drunk driving, speeding or the yearly burning would receive such swift response- 198 replies

Bangkok Taxi Driver Slashes Passenger's Face in Violent Attack
CLW replied to webfact's topic in Bangkok News
I can only repeatedly say: vote with your feet meaning use exclusively grab taxis or metered taxis and ignore those scammers. May they go out of business soon. The sooner, the better for everyone -
Bangkok Taxi Driver Slashes Passenger's Face in Violent Attack
CLW replied to webfact's topic in Bangkok News
Yes, terrible income because they refuse to take passengers by metered fare while hoping to make a catch of the day finding some idiot paying their inflated fixed rates. On the other hand I've never heard grab taxi drivers complaining about their income 😁 -
Bangkok Taxi Driver Slashes Passenger's Face in Violent Attack
CLW replied to webfact's topic in Bangkok News
According to the auto translate of the video clip: the passenger asked for a metered ride. the taxi driver refused. Which made the passenger slam the door hard. This upset the taxi driver and in an altercation he used the knife to slash the face of the passenger. It's not reported if it was for self defense during the altercation or if there was some provocative fight or whatever. What I found strange that the news clip shows the driver in hospital with bruises and arm bandage but not the victim with the slashed face. Maybe the taxi driver was beaten off scene or during the restraining efforts? -
Unfortunately no drivers display. But I am afraid this might sooner or later become standard. Does it have the option for a HUD?
-
Yes, but that car is what it is. A cheap taxi. I've ever sat in one, it is same interior and worse built quality as a Toyota Corolla Altis in base trim. Just a taxi. You wouldn't want to drive this as personal car....
-
Yes. Bingou is micro car comparable to Suzuki Swift. The Cloud I'd say is comparable to Toyota Yaris

SAIC IM L6 first look and comparison with Tesla Model 3. The car (or the similar SUV LS6 or LM6) was shown as mockup at the December motor show at the MG booth. Sales most likely to happen through MG dealers. The staff mentioned that for the upcoming motor show in April there will be more details available including a possible RHD model for viewing.

You shouldn't put the MG4 D and the Wuling in the same class. There are worlds between those two cars. Just because the MG4 D is cheap doesn't mean it's a crap car.
-
Sorry for asking, but what gives you advantage of a long range car with 500 km vs. MG4 D with roughly 300 km. Anyway on long trips you most likely have to charge in between (or if not, take a break for toilet and eating). During that time from my experience it is more than sufficient to make a quick charge from 20 to 80 %. Chargers are now available along all major roads and cities in Thailand. If you concerned about availability, PTTs EV station Pluz can be reserved in advance. I'm assuming you own an ICE car at the moment. Ditch it ! It will only cost you money in the long term (gasoline and maintenance) compared to an EV

Cost and time wise I'm considering to use one of those agency trips to Cambodia. I really hate sweating my balls at immigration and just waiting for them to start the questioning... Because now if Laos really requires two days overnight plus the transport forth and back plus eventually problems with immigration, I'll give it a pass. Your suggestion of flying to Saigon, similar. The cost and time plus being at the mercy of airport IOs at DMK or BKK, I don't have a good feeling about it
