    That's generally true but in the case of EVs they are certainly providing a quality product.

    And they have to if they are to compete internationally. I would have no problem buying a main brand chinese EV, If I had not bought a new ICE vehicle recently, and would take a bath exchanging it now, I would definitely buy a BYD  Atto 3. 

    Having said that, I am concerned with the long term maintenance of an EV. An ICE machined , though more complicated, can easily be maintained to run forever by the neighborhood mechanic. . EVs have so much propitiatory technology, that can be maintained only by the manufacturers approved service center.  

    Something to think about. 

    My worry and reason for not  buying an EV is replacement battery, which would be needed after around 8 years. Its a significant cost, I believe 30 to 50 percent of its original cost. You are not going to be able to sell a second hand EV with a battery over 4 or 5 years old unless you sell very cheap. Does not make  cost sense unless you put away the money you saved on fuel.

  2. I got excited for a split second. In 2026 I am planning to visit my English sister who lives in Toronto and also take in some of the World Cup games. I want to take my Thai wife's eldest also as he is a football fan plus expand is travel experience. The host countries being the US Canada and Mexico. I just wonder how the U S is going to handle visa applications from fans of 48 countries, anyway. Looks like I can now just apply for a US visa for him and that will save having g to apply for a Canadian one also

    This is ‘ reenactment' AFTER the killer has been identified and confessed. Not the purpose of reenactment in Western countries which is there to jog people’s memories to help identify an as yet unknown perpetrator. They do NOT parade around an arrested perpetrator who has already confessed. That’s just a circus show! 
    Do keep up…

    Identified and confessed? We have seen how they get confessions. Re parading around please read my first message which said it should be a sterile area with no other people that it effects there. So when making a comment make sure you read it all and keep up.

    These "photo-opportunity" re-enactments for the media by the Thai police are farcical. Saying that, if I was allowed near my sons killer in a public place like this I'm not sure how I would react. Actually I am sure but will abide by forum rules. Words cannot express what the father is feeling. What a tragedy.

    Totally disagree. Every legal method to obtain evidence should be tried. Nothing worse than having a fall guy. What should happen is that the public are not allowed anywhere near the accused espically those it effects. The crime scene should be completely sterile.
