Keep it simple. An si khao - the white one

But it’s an extra 150k , plus the 20k I have to pay you for the video !! It is extremely tempting I must admit 😢

Yes, my local showroom has a Grey ( my chosen colour) Performance ready to deliver. Am feeling the pressure 😢

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 😊

Think I have missed the boat then, can’t see any future offspring coming from my loins !

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 😬

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.

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 .

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.

I’ll hold my hand up.

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 ??

I found this, which is a simplified version. Manual : Automatic:

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.

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 .

Thanks for that @Pib, I’m on a 15/45 meter so I need a separate meter for the EV as at nighttime we have 2 air cons running and with the EV would be too much load. That’s the way I understand it anyway. So luckily i am in PEA territory ( MEA in Bangkok don’t allow a TOU ) and can get a Time Of Use meter added for cheaper o/night and weekend rate ( 2.5 baht ). As it’s a separate meter and circuit a ground rod needs fitting, not sure what that means with the Charger install, presumably there will be an additional charge, the showroom guy was totally in the dark about this but I’m not the first to do this so I suppose the installer will be clued up. My power pole is right outside the gate so should be well within the 15m . From what i can gather it will go something like this: 1) Receive delivery of car 2) 2 weeks (?) after the installer, after an initial audit, will install charger, DB and ground , leaving cable sufficient to the TOU meter. 3) PEA will inspect the installation ( already been given go ahead for a TOU ) and return, at their leisure, to install the TOU meter. 4) Presumably PEA will connect TOU meter to the 2nd ( charger ) circuit and will be good to go. All sounds fairly straightforward but have read on FB that nobody is in a rush to complete anything and PEA already told me that it will be 2 to 4 weeks after inspection to fitting meter so I expect a drawn out affair.

Sorry, yes, I forgot the free installation bit for Dolphin. How is the install in your opinion ?, they fit a ground rod ? or is that only if a 2nd circuit ( TOU Meter ) is fit ? So he only paid 800 baht ? ( apologies for all the questions but I have been following the FB groups and it’s so confusing trying to understand the translations )

25k if you wanted to buy the charger with the car( same one as Atto 3 I think ).

Okay thanks, I wondered if you had missed the part in the manual about using the button …… obviously not 👍

I might be missing something here but why would you want to manually fold them anyway when you can fold both by pressing a button ?

It appears that new posts are now appearing but existing ones do not. Does that mean that once read they disappear ?

What has happened to the “ Content i follow “ content ?, there’s now nothing to show. Using an iPhone and Microsoft Edge browser. Is it just me ??

According to a couple of videos after installing the camera a reset of the screen ( long press on volume scroll button ) and it is activated. The resolution looks okay but the real test is at night if you can read a license plate. The video also has no sound but does record speed and gps etc. Like I said previously I will spend 2k to test it but if not acceptable would probably buy a 70mai A800s with front and rear cameras. There’s a micro sd card slot in between the usb ports under centre console.

My plan is to use the BYD built in dash cam ( Shopee 2000 baht ) for forward facing and utilise my current 70Mai A500s for rear facing if I can have it hard wired. It’s only a tentative plan at the moment and will get better informed closer to delivery but I want to avoid any unsightly cables to usb ports. My last 2 cars had a usb port built in behind the rear view mirror needing a very short ( 20cm ) cable, very handy. Not sure of the reason for the removal of the camera in Dolphin and Seal unless it is cost cutting, which seems unlikely at 2k and the cable for said camera is already fitted. Is the camera still being fit to Atto 3 , @Pib ?

As we see from the video there’s a lot of commands available, particularly liked the “ find nearby charging station “ giving a list that you can instantly see if mall or gas station etc and then starting navigation when you choose, how good is that ?? Suspect the commands we would like “ turn off lane keeping assist “ “ change to high regen “etc are not available but i will certainly use mine and no doubt find a shortlist of the most useful depending on my needs. The Thai only commands in my previous MG and current Haval are now redundant.
