Am I missing something here, or what is the inference to car warranty regarding an accident? Sounds like the usual click-bait YT video if this was presented in this way.......... -

Is it possible you have reading comprehension problems? or did you even read the report? The last two paragraph pretty much sum it up: MG tried to market a stripped version for cheap of the MG 5 down under. It's not what I find a good policy, but it is far from possible to extrapolate from this policy what safety rating Chinese cars in general are sold with - but then again. that was not really what you are interested in? Its good the test was made and published, MG has responded positively to correct the shortcomings. -
I have bought very few cars for which the salesperson knew more about the car than I did........ probably have to blame myself for that

Invite all the kids from the neighborhood........and their parents But then again - I believe your conclusion is wrong, from the demos I have seen from local owners, after the update the pedestrian warning can be turned on and off. Car is updating right now, cant test it myself until later.

I had the same problem - finally I had the glorious idea to tell the BYD lady to turn audio back on for navigation.......lo and behold, she did. I had to do it a few times already.

How many of these are active and of the DC genre? There are several places listed on different apps, but the chargers are actually inoperative, others have only AC chargers, which are next to useless except for hotel guests that stay over night and leave their cars hooked up. All in all, H-H is still stone age when it comes to real DC charger infrastructure, but it could change quickly. -
3.8s, delivered 2 month ago, 3,000 km - no regrets. I am waiting for the BYD Tang - if it delivers what has been promised, I will trade.

Unlock the car - in some cars, you can hit the central unlocking button in the car, or unlock the car with the remote (works on all cars)

Are they counted as registered after the white plate is issued? I am still on the red..........already over 2 months now -
Chinese EV's set to disrupt Thai Automarket
mistral53 replied to CharlieH's topic in Thailand Motor Discussion
Is it far fetched to suggest to take this self anointed car 'expert' with a truck load of salt? I understand he is trying to make a living on the cheap and needs clicks. -

Good info, I did not know that. Where in this rating soup is the 3Ph vs. 1 Ph capacity? I would assume the 3 phases help for load distribution more for PEA than in the house? -

This is what you are looking for (e.g. our meter)......... it's on all meters in one form or another -

Wait, what.........no massage parlor on their premise? That would keep me busy while they massage my car.......... On a more serious note - it looks very professional how they go about protecting the car while installing the film, this imbues confidence in their work.

Have you installed the BYD dash-cam? Could you work from that video feed, as it is obviously a fixed view? might need some practice to get a reference point established.

This is one of the really good developments for a big city like BKK - more electric taxis! Now lets go for motorsai next......... -

It's the former, all EV's get the incentive, and it goes to the importer, presumably with a lot of red tape involved. Does not change the bottom line to the buyer, we get a heck of a deal right now, but I am not sure how much longer this program will be in effect. -
I say fokk the neighbors and park backwards, problem solved. I mean - what is more important, your car or your neighbors????

I jumped on one of the Chinese imports because it has no import taxes, and the Thai government handed me a check of THB 150,000 for buying this Chinese made car........ and I love what I got to pieces - what's not to like about value for the money? BTW - reservations after 4 days at the Car Expo shows 6 Chinese brands in the first 10......... gawd that sucks! -

Not only the Thai Auto-market - the Japanese seem mighty impressed by the BYD Seal they tore down. Gone are the times when Chinese cars were mere copies of legacy tech, in EV's they are clearly in the lead together with Tesla, and judging by the development tempo and innovation, disruption is just the beginning. https://project.nikkeibp.co.jp/mirai/byd_seal/all/ -
Am I the only one who has this recurring visit from a fat Tukai, especially when he has diarrhea??? Gawd I hate the bastard!! I already put mothballs in every nook and cranny under the carport roof and rafters - to no avail, he insist to use that particular spot for his almost daily 'gifts'....... truth is, he is one of the main reasons I got the car ceramic coated! Recurring thoughts of murder are creeping into my tranquil existence.

I was at the Car Expo yesterday, and the reservation stats of the 2 first days confirm the traffic - Changan had by far the most crowded booth. -
Rate Charging Suppliers based on ease of use?
mistral53 replied to Greenside's topic in Thailand Motor Discussion
I used EleXA for a quick top up for the first time yesterday - and it was Tesla quick......... plug in, select charging level on app (I set it to 40%) confirm, wait for about 30 sec for comm to establish - and it started charging. Ramping up to 120 kW in less than a minute, charged to the selected 40% in 8 minutes, during which time I helped a first-time user on the second cable to get his Good Cat refilled, unplugged, paid, drove off. BTW - in that order! I paid after I charged, via QR code and bank app - that rocks! Last but not least - got the tax invoice for my records in my email within minutes. -
You know - this made me crack up, so I was not the only one.......... I got the information how to access that little gem - from all places I despise the most! ...........FB! Its in the turn signal stalk: the button on the tip of the stalk, toggle through trip and odo..........gawd I was so relieved to have finally found it.
