  1. That would be a neat trick if possible. What I don’t understand is the NFC markings on the centre arm rest , do you place it there to enable the car to start in a certain situation ? Seems pretty unnecessary to spoil the aesthetics with those markings when presumably the process will be used very infrequently . Or have I misread the reason for the markings ??
  2. Just checked with my showroom and while I was queue number 7 for Premium Grey today I am number 5, guesstimate is now end of November.
  3. Excellent choice, am severely tempted to upgrade my choice from Premium Space Grey to Performance Space Grey especially as my two nearest showrooms ( 18 and 36km ) have this model ready for delivery. ” I can resist everything except temptation “. Oscar Wilde
  4. Understand the difference between Lithium Ion and Lithium Iron Phosphate ( LFP ) batteries. https://www.here.com/learn/blog/lithium-ion-vs-lithium-iron-phosphate#:~:text=Lithium iron (LiFePO4) batteries are,applications such as electric vehicles.
  5. My current car came with black carpet type mats with a small logo on and I find these to my liking rather than the ones I have seen online. Nobody gets in my car with muddy shoes though !
  6. Yes I meant the car ….. and not your hairy forearms ! What are the boot liner and floor mats like ?, not expecting top notch but good enough to save me buying any ?
  7. “ Sound of Freedom “ is full title if you cannot find it, my streaming site ( fmovies ) isn’t smart enough to find it if not exactly correct title 🙄
  8. EV registrations for Sept 2023 in Thailand. Dolphin and Atto 3 pretty much neck and neck leading the pack, Seal likely to make a small entry in Oct chart but realistically will be Nov or even Dec before we see the full picture.
  9. From what I understand yes, here’s the info supplied by BYD. [ABB 7kW Charger] Product Specification for BYD Seal.pdf Note: this is for Seal only, Atto 3 is a different charger.
  10. But it’s an extra 150k , plus the 20k I have to pay you for the video !! It is extremely tempting I must admit 😢
  11. Yes, my local showroom has a Grey ( my chosen colour) Performance ready to deliver. Am feeling the pressure 😢
  12. I will try the BYD built in dashcam to see what actual resolution is like but am at least a month away from car delivery ( @Bandersnatch will hopefully testing it out shortly ). @Pib can give us some of his thoughts on the camera. If okay will look at putting my 70Mai A500 rear facing . Barring this will also go for the 70Mai A810. Thanks for being the guinea pig Macahoom it is appreciated 😊
  13. Think I have missed the boat then, can’t see any future offspring coming from my loins !
  14. Shall increase my cheese intake to see if I can add on a couple of inches ……. upwards preferably but more likely outwards ….. an ideal opportunity for the cheesy emoji 😬
  15. Wednesday might have found the faith they were looking for, look at Leeds ! had a terrible terrible start to the season but once they got their confidence back they shot up to where they should be, although Leicester away this weekend might be a stretch for them. How did you find the Anchor cheese ?, better than that Horeca ?,i bought another 2kg yesterday. The only trouble with a half decent cheese is, eating way more than I should be doing.
  16. Okay, I understand now, the Seal doesn’t have a mechanical EPB switch so yes you are right the manual EPB option is very inconvenient. In the same section ( page 111 ) I see something called “ Trailer mode “, presumably this is where you need to leave the car in Neutral with no EPB engaged for pushing purposes i.e. parallel parking in the mall car park or pulling up onto the rescue flatbed truck ( god forbid this should happen ! ) ?? and not Trailer Towing as on page 101 as I don’t imagine any “ mode “ is required for this .
  17. Wonder if there has been a new shipment or if they are being released from the docks very slowly . Seen adverts for 8 Seals near me today on FB. 3 x Black in Rangsit 1 x Black + 1 x Grey in Phra in ( Ayutthaya ) 1 x Black + 1 x White + 1 x Blue in Ang Thong All Performance models.
  18. Unless it means somewhere in the info screen there’s an option to select either manual or automatic EPB and once set that mode remains unless you change it ??
  19. I found this, which is a simplified version. Manual : Automatic:
  20. The part about the manual EPB does seem a little confusing, especially this part Assuming this means; selecting manual mode in the info screen you have to manually actuate the EPB when parking the car. Am also assuming you have to manually release it when starting the car although it doesn’t tell you that. Automatic EPB engagement and release mode means when you select P ( parking gear ) with your foot on brake the EPB engages and likewise when you put your foot on the brake and select either D ( Drive ) or R ( Reverse ) the EPB is released. The large P ( parking gear ) , as opposed to D, R or N , versus the small p in a circle ( parking brake ) does seem to cause confusion, especially among the Thai owners.
  21. Thai guy driving along, runs over kids bike ….. oh no ! …. loses face and possibly damage to his truck !! Then some crusty old farang appears using the F word, shouting and pointing in his face ! Blood pressure rises, lashes out, farang goes down ! Seemed inevitable with a couple of obviously highly strung individuals .
