  1. They probably haven't released figure yet.
  2. I can't say I find it uncomfortable or overly hot. IMHO, money on film is dead money, an expensive film doesn't add any more value to the car than a cheap film when you come to resale and I'm not sure I could tell the difference either. I'd rather spend the extra 25,000 baht on another holiday. I tint all round at 40% cut, and leave the roof alone as it's already special glass and no problem, I can't feel any heat on the top of my head, which sadly has a lot less insulation (hair) than my vanity would appreciate It would be interesting to compare 2 identical cars side by side and measure glass and inside temperatures. We could do that remotely, park at the same compass angle on the level, at the same time of day and measure temperatures at the same time, if anyone else has a seal with 40% cut and an expensive film.
  3. I think it's all the same. I bought the cheapest from a specialist, I think I paid 6-8,000 baht. I'm very happy with it.
  4. so say “I” not “we”. you do not speak for me.
  5. Don't say "we", you don't speak for me.
  6. I’m only only fans but the most I ever got was a laugh
  7. And like I said, these documents become useless in an average of 3.5 years.
  8. Those signed transfer documents you refer to are undated. Thai ID cards are valid 7 years, so on average those undated forms you mention become useless in 3.5 years unless you track your nominee shareholders and get new copies of signed ID cards. There are some pitfalls you need to avoid. Don’t leave the house to someone in your will (you don’t own it), instead leave your shares in the company. It’s expensive for anyone to take the property out of the company, there’s a significant tax liability.
  9. Got it! You wouldn’t, so go after everyone who did. PS I don’t have either but I wish those that have good luck and don’t want to see them persecuted .
  10. I have had EV’s with both NMC and LFP batteries. LFP is a clear winner as approximately double the charge cycles and much safer and I would only buy an NMC car if LFP wasn’t available. @matchar is correct, it is a common misconception that it is good to charge LFP batteries to 100%. Battery degradation is proportional to SoC, however, manufacturers need 100% SoC to recalibrate the BMS for range as LFP batteries have a fairly flat voltage over something like 70% to 95% and it’s almost impossible for the BMS to know what the state of charges, it can only tell when it’s going up towards 100%. The trade-off is knowing the state of charge/range versus battery longevity. Most manufacturers take a middle road by asking you to charge to 100% but not to recharge until you’re down to 20% or below in which case your average SoC is 60%. What you don’t want to do is called ABC Always Be Charging. Keep your average SoC as low as you’re comfortable. I don’t really care about the range being accurate and I only charge to 100% every couple of months. I’m overseas on holiday and I left my Seal at 42% SoC for 8 days.
  11. it makes a nice change for you to be right
  12. I think I read that the D model now gets the rear spoiler, I think the car looks ugly without it. The ELK is annoying and needs turning off at every journey.
  13. I spent a couple of hours Google searching and found somewhere in Germany selling the card. But that’s as far as I got. But that box is one of the best on the market and it’s very expensive to have fitted privately here. I think it’s over ฿50,000 and over ฿60,000 if you want three phase.
  14. The ABB Terra box is very much a smart charger. If you take the cover off you will find digital interfaces and a slot for a daughter card, there is a card available specifically for Solar. You can change the charging current on the fly with this box which is needed for solar.
  15. You might like to research it. It's very much a family hotel with rabbits in the garden for kids to play with. Cabbages & Condoms is a chain of restaurants throughout Thailand run by a foundation founded by Meechai Viravaidya. Most farang in Pattaya probably don't even know about the beach it is on. It's invisible & inaccessible from Wongamat Beach, Pattaya Beach, Sugar Beach, Dongtan Beach or Jomtien Beach. It's completely invisible from almost everywhere except the Birds & Bees Resort & The Asia Hotel. I stayed at the Birds & Bees Resort in 2006 and it was instrumental in my deciding to buy some condos and move there in April 2007. Mechai Viravaidya - Wikipedia
  16. I can have one night at the Dusit plus return air fare to Chiang Rai for the same price as 1 night at the KataThani Phuket where I've gone many years in a row. I'm staying 8 nights for about the same as 2 nights at the KataThani.
  17. I think Thailand's hotel's are way overpriced, look to Vietnam, I'm heading to Phu Quoc tomorrow staying at the Dusit, my BIL is staying at Phuong Binh House Hotel for about 900 baht a night, they have some bungalows right on the beach too.
  18. Birds & Bees Resort Pattaya has 2 rooms right on the beach. and the hotel is absolute beachside with a great Thai restaurant called cabbages & condoms.
  19. I’m more worried about the poor pedestrians getting whiplash as they try to watch the superfast, EV drive past
  20. Traffic turning left has priority, traffic turning right must give way to live lane. Ask me about pulling out of a T junction turning right, that’s a doozy
  21. Indeed Czechoslovakia - Chamberlain Ukraine - Trump We know what happened next in 1939.... TeSSla 0 to 1939 in 3 seconds Trump: We have to sort Canada out, they need to mine smaller Musk: Mine Fewer Trump: Don't call me that yet.
  22. Somebody said Musk is a Nazi, I said impossible, the Nazi's made excellent cars.
