Not true, the brakes are always used to bring the car to a complete stop, for 5kmhr down to stop approximately.

Nature abhors a vacuum. There will soon be a parts and repair operation by an enterprising Somchai

It was clearly a big mistake for Thailand to align itself with BRICS However, I am really disappointed with all the countries negotiating with Trump. There is only one way to deal with a bully, and that is to fight back and give him a bloody nose. Playing his game means he wins.

I know EV's have an ever increasing market share, but that curve is about to go downwards What utter tosh

Do you know your buttocks from your olecranon? Methinks you don't

I think it depends on tariffs as it's probably made in a joint venture with BYD and manufactured in China.

units (seriously though kilometers per hour)

Also the BYD Seal does 0 to 100 in 3.8 seconds and the teSSla does 0 to 1939 in the same time.

The fact they are at least a generation ahead of the West with EV's would suggest they are leading rather than copying. BYD Teardown | UBS Global

You're probably not aware but the inspiration for the front of the BYD Seal is the Porsche Taycan. It's nothing like the teSSla which is now a very old design.

I’m beginning to wonder if you’re associated with WrLife…

I spent the first 5 years of my post university life as a trade buyer of cars too. I’m also looking for a BYD Dolphin for my youngest daughter,about one year old, if you can find one at 50% depreciation, please let me know, hell no! If you can find one with 25% depreciation, let me know.

If he was over the alcohol limit, calling his insurance company was a waste of time, they will ask him to go to a hospital and take an alcohol test and deny his claim if he was over the limit. This is standard practice now in Thai.

Then you missed (for example) the post of Charlie Badenhop.

@TroubleandGrumpy I don’t think I’ve ever met someone who can be as wrong as you are.

Trustpilot paying clients can challenge any review to prove they are a customer and if they don’t prove to trustpilot they are indeed customers, their review is removed. Is it possible they really are customers and WrLife are lying? A bit like the company’s officers and agents lying that they are customers? I was challenged Covid time when I left a 1* review for luxury escapes who would only issue a credit note for my bookings and not a refund.

Even if NETA close, independents will pop up to fill demand.

I think it’s largely irrelevant to talk about independent car dealers in China. Mismanagement by independent dealers anywhere other that Thailand is not the subject of this thread. BYD are one of the world’s largest auto makers and they are growing with consistently increasing market share unlike most legacy manufacturers. They are not going away anytime soon.

Sounds about right for most cars. Actually it was from AI, I could have posted the references, but you can look them up yourself. Needless to say, it was all factual.

LifePo batteries are safe.

If you’re going to allow cannabis (with the proper restrictions) I would prefer to see 7-11’s selling it.

Most of the Chinese cars here are Thailands built!

Condos are missing out on a money making opportunity. They can profit on residents using their chargers.

You can’t beat a megapint of red wine at happy hour.

It’s not true to say WrLife doesn’t have agents. The vast majority of their policies are sold through agents (called Insurance Brokers) who apparently get a much higher commission than the blue chip insurers pay. Of course a broker is going to say they pay their claims, he can hardly tell you if they don’t.
