Where's Wally?

They keep forgetting to tell ChatGPT what country they want the picture from. AN/The Thaiger. "ChatGPT a picture showing crowd." AN/The Thaiger. "This'll do. No one will notice."

Didn't say I don't like China but I do hate the CCP. Xi is an authoritarian monster. As for not buying Chinese I sure try not to and as for boring well I guess people who are EV zealots could be seen as particularly boring. As for buying an EV there's little point. Car gets around 50 mpg more or less. There is one thing that's impresive about EV's and that's how quick they are off the mark. Our car is a snail in comparison but on a good day if the missus is feeling fit it's not too bad.

I guess the point is it was a brand new BYD with an obvious quality fault. As for damage who knows how bad it could've been if not caught in time. It was being charged at the time. BRAND NEW CAR!!!

I'm assuming you didn't even bother to read the article even if you did as I say you can contact him and ask for the source of the information which sadly is missing from the Thaiger article. BP ran the same article (which I can't link) an which is where Thaiger lifted the article from as did carlist.my also taken from BP. You know have 4 organisations to contact to say the information is wrong.

I suggest you contact NCB Chief Executive Surapol Opasatien who also said “In the case of an accident involving an EV battery, the car’s value would drop significantly. The value of used EVs, particularly those that are five years old or older, deteriorates more quickly than ICEs.” and explain to him why he is wrong and you are right. https://thethaiger.com/news/business/high-depreciation-of-evs-raises-loan-concerns-says-national-credit-bureau

Very good for the CCP that's for sure.

High depreciation of EVs raises loan concerns says National Credit Bureau The National Credit Bureau (NCB) raised concerns about the high depreciation rates of electric vehicles (EVs) and the associated loan risks. As the popularity of EVs, particularly Chinese brands, continues to rise, so does the volume of loans attributed to their purchase. However, EVs depreciate faster than traditional internal combustion engine (ICE) cars, which has heightened the risk for auto loan providers. https://thethaiger.com/news/business/high-depreciation-of-evs-raises-loan-concerns-says-national-credit-bureau

Nup. The CCP has heavily subsidised production in country to produce EV's as cheap as possible and it's simply flooding the internatinal market with a cheap product.

You'll find out for yourself. How much is the battery pack replacement? Might need to sell before then.

Thailand is corrupt top to bottom and this is another example i.e. corrupt person and corrupt court. Every person in Thailand knows this. Another slap fight between the corrupt with a big price to pay for the loser and a big price to pay for the winner. Judges do not come cheap.

Guaranteed the court was paid a very substantial amount of money to come to this decision. TIT. Justice or the lack thereof goes to the highest bidder. Doesn't matter, it's just another very corrupt person caught by other very corrupt people. The entire country is bent top to bottom as every Thai knows.

How about the Chinese ones???????? As for paying 2-4 mil for a used Tesla you'd have to be crazy. 4 mil can get you a pretty good house built upcountry.Of course if it's status and virtue signalling then I understand.

Been around for ages. Just Omicron doing what it does. Evolve. Still a non seroius viral infection for the overwhelming majority. A fact this aricle ignores. Funny though how he says it's now endemic. It's been endemic basically since Omicron took over two years ago or more.

What really disturbs me about these videos is people just standing around them. The gases given off are very dangerous, they explode and basically they don't go out until specialist equipment is used or they've burned themselves out and even then when it looks like it's finished they can reignite. Plenty of available documenatation on this so before any fanboys boys say show us the evidence just look it up. Run away and run away upwind.

Please be careful where you charge your EV bike. We had an EV scooter but when I started showing my wife lithium ion batteries exploding she sold it. I didn't want her to buy it in the first place. I'm an RC helicopter pilot and I know the dangers of these batteries. I have a special bag to charge them in.

https://www.bloomberg.com/opinion/articles/2024-02-07/used-porsche-evs-are-getting-cheaper-as-residual-values-tumble Now you can show me the 2nd hand EV market prices in Thailand.

No personal attacks please. Not once have I called you an EV fanboy so respect should be both ways.

Depends who tears it down I guess. Bit like something else I could talk about being called "safe and effective" by "experts". It's not always as it seems. As for being "nimble and not afraid to adjust pricing" this is just spin for saying undercutting the native market with a heavily subsidised product. Subsidised by the autoritarian CCP.

That's called dumping into markets where there is competition aka undercutting the market. As for your car and all the others lets see what happens with time. As for re-sale values say goodbye to your Baht.

They will vote for whoever offers the most money. This process stinks of corruption.

This will all be wiped aside and those who support the status quo will buy their way into a majority, in yet another non-representitive Senate.

The main factors hindering BYD’s entry into Western markets include weak market demand combined with ambitious sales targets, a flawed pricing strategy, regulatory investigations by Western countries, concerns about quality, and the necessity for extensive post-import adjustments, and significant repairs. Build Quality and Software: The recent report suggests that vehicles exported from China required various repairs and adjustments upon arrival at their destinations. Vehicles shipped to Japan showed signs of scratches, while those sent to Europe were discovered to have mold. Additionally, some users have reported issues with the battery and other minor inconveniences, including frequent discharging of the vehicle’s 12V battery, the GPS providing inaccurate directions, and challenges with the vehicle’s washer/wiper system. https://cmr.berkeley.edu/2024/05/why-does-byd-struggle-to-penetrate-western-markets/#:~:text=Extensive fixes%3A BYD has faced,and structural issues in Israel.

Indeed. It was put down to a wiring issue whilst recharging. Guess that would come under a quality issue.

Awaiting JB's reply to huge subsidies and flooding markets.
