Eat your heart out oily!

I think crude oil has addled somebody's brain.

I don’t have the right kind of stick for golf, and I hate massages, free or otherwise. Living in Chiang Rai the chauffeur service is not available, I see a doctor every 6 months for a full checkup and blood work up, a skin doctor every 2 months, a plastic surgeon every 6 months and a urologist every year so I don’t think anything other than my basic 20 year package which takes up to 83 yo is appropriate for me. I fully expect to be brown bread by then. At 67 years old, lifestyle and preventative medicine is the most important thing, once a year is not enough.

I have the 20 year option, the peace of mind is priceless. I don’t do 90 day reports because I holiday every 1 or 2 months and pay for my holidays from overseas income, it never hits Thailand so regarding taxing it they can **** Off.

The issue is it's not really a Toyota. It does nothing to keep Toyota profitable, if they sold all of these and none of their legacy cars they would have to shut all their factories. Things will start happening for Toyota when we see them convert their existing factories to EV. It is however a step in the right direction.

Not my BYD, but my daughter's 2023 22,000km, MG4 X is supposed to have an NEDC range of 420km. NEDC does stand for Not Even Damn Close. When you charge it at home it reads 403km which is probably correct as the battery has lost 7% of its capacity. However, as soon as you start the car it drops to 346km and taking it on a long run, that looks to be fairly accurate.

Acres of Walnut & Cow Hide, what's not to love!

I think a cashmere jacket might be a bit hot too,

No, they just move to Pattaya

This is the gold standard CTEK Intelligent Battery Charger XS 0.8 | Lazada.co.th CTEK also do more powerful versions, i,e. there's a 2.8 amp version available but for trickle charging the 0.8 amp is all you need.

A good IT analyst is probably behind this. Have you noticed how every ATM machine requires Thai citizens to use their ID card for identification, it's the same with automated deposit machines @dinsdale Banks now need lots more info. SIM cards have to be linked to a digital ID, Crypto exchanges likewise, has all this crept up on you? or do you think it's coincidence?

It's all about Thailand 4.0 Tracing ever baht and everything anyone ever does.

AC Charging is a maximum of 22Kw, I think the graphic showing 43Kw is a typographic mistake. A 22/23Kw charger will charge at 7Kw single phase. Porsche and Audi offer an upgrade from 11Kw (3 phase on-board charger) to 22Kw for about 100,000 THB. A few cars will charge at 11Kw (BYD in Europe for example). The slowest DC Charging I have seen is 25Kw which is ridiculous IMHO

I drive at BYD and that’s the first time I’ve heard that

The issue I have with Islam is it preaches inequality and intolerance. Islam translates from Arabic to Submission.

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. I like the way the MG4 looks, but I feel the cabin lets it down. I often wonder why some classically beautiful cars are not reintroduced by the manufacturer as full EV’s with modern suspension and construction techniques. For example IMHO the Jaguar E type series 3 roadster in my opinion is the most beautiful sports car ever made. The Ford Granada Ghia Saloon mk1 was one of the most beautiful saloon cars ever made. These two examples command incredibly high prices for good examples now. I saw a (Jaguar) Daimler Van den Plas 4.2 in stunning condition on One2car recently for about 800,000 baht, I did think about buying it and converting it to EV.

Navigation running in the background sounds about right, because I also get messages congestion ahead. I have also noticed that it doesn’t start the car when you turn on the air-conditioning remotely anymore. The phone is wireless charging message still appears occasionally but it’s much much smaller and easy to miss, I think it’s at the bottom of the screen if I remember correctly

How do you turn off the voice prompt “you are exceeding the speed limit“ My Seal started doing it after the latest update and SIM card change

Somebody waxes lyrical about MG’s? Never!!! I have no idea who you could be talking about, @KhunLA can you shed any light on who this could be that Richard is talking about?

Have you ever driven an MG EV Richard? They drive exceptionally well. We’ve had the MG EP+ and the MG4, both fine cars.

Trump and his “First Buddy” will soon remove all the climate control stuff in the former colonies. I don’t believe there is any way on this earth we will avoid climate catastrophe. In theory, it’s possible, it just won’t happen. By the time the idiots wise up it will be too late. We should have already ramped up CC&S by now, not only is it not really happening there aren’t as yet plans to ramp it up. We will hit that tipping point before they forecast it. On the issue of critical credibility, I had 2 German cars, one a PHEV and the other an EV. The Chinese cars feel lighter as if the steel is thinner, the Chinese cars seem to be more reliable too, and a lot better value for money. There is nothing wrong with MG’s EV’s, I am not as confident about their ICE cars and they did get off to a bad start. I think you’re wrong with your comment “Yeah... But its an MG... ”.

We have an MG4, I drove it myself for 6 months before I got my Seal. The MG4 is an excellent car, it's better than my Seal in a few ways (far better handling and driver feedback).

I have thought for a few years now that it's impossible to stop this continually rising world temperature. We just need to accept it. Everything we do is far too little and far too late. Growing economies like China and India will never do anything.

You just don't get it do you. The share of new EV's in the market continues to grow. The share of new ICE in the market continues to decline. The number of EV models available continues to increase The number of ICE models available continues to decrease EV Factories and manufacturers continue to invest in Thailand ICE factories continue to close in Thailand QED The number of people choosing EV over ICE is increasing. To use your analogy, the number of deaths last year was more than 1923 therefore the population is going to die out. It's all about relativism. Try using relativism and we will relate to what you are saying. Whether you like it or not, EV's are here to stay and their growth is exploding.
