I can't open that, it presents me a login screen

It sounds like you have a virus on your computer from a Scammer. Definitely don’t do any online banking until you’ve checked.

Why would immigration check that people who have no tax due have submitted a tax return? it’s not a requirement, to submit a tax return if you have no tax due.

You reply to a post with a completely different subject? (A statement I agree with btw, but irrelevant to initial post). Whats up?

Clearly, I need to spell it out for you. It's quite simple. There is no need to file a tax return if no tax is due. So Immigration won't check as a standard thing. Don't cut my quote and change the meaning.

Did you know a Hybrid car is 130 times more likely to catch fire than an EV?

They will never check that you made a tax return at immigration a standard thing. I think it highly likely that the TRD will notify Immigration with a “Limit” order when they identify someone who should be paying tax and have had no response to their requests, likewise you may be put on a no fly/no exit notice too. The whole information system is integrated under Thailand 4.0 and can be considered as one large system. If a Thai official has the authority, he can see everything about anyone.

Would you include those who already have enough solar power to fuel it?

Since the latest SIM swap/update, every time I say "Hey Siri..." I get a message from the infotainment system saying "Siri can be used on your phone...." before it cuts off and Siri responds on my iPhone, any idea how to fix that? I suspect I have a wrong setting somewhere. I particularly like the new feature of having the heated/ventilated seats accessible on the climate screen and displayed for a minute or so after turning on the car. In Chiang Rai sometimes the heated seats are very welcome first thing in the morning and the ventilated seats are welcome by late afternoon. On the subject of ABRP, I am against SaaS offerings (Software as a Service) , I think they are the biggest rip-off going in the IT world. I typically convert the quarterly charge into an equivalent 5 year lease rate and ABRP comes out at about 9,000 baht I do like the look of it a lot, I suspect BYD will eventually this kind of functionality in the built-in navigation, I certainly hope so. For the IT guys here, I'll go off topic for a moment. I was stunned when SalesForce.com was successfully sold as SaaS, in my business we used ACT! from conductor software, networked across our office with a central server. When they demonstrated SalesForce.com to us, the only extra functionality it offered was client/remote access. I paid GBP 119 per client for our installation, SalesForce would have come out in the thousands on a leasing rate equivalent and it was slow where our installation was lightning quick.

I think you're right, though you will probably never take your SoC (State of Charge) down to 0%. If 100% gives you a range of490km (allowing a 10% buffer) then I would think along the lines of 50% charge will give you 220km with that same buffer. I think it might be better to think in terms of cost.

I don't even think about it, I have excess solar power, so it's free.

This what AI has to say about choosing the right tint for the glass roof Choose the right tint: Opt for a lighter tint film on your sunroof compared to other windows, as the tempered glass in sunroofs can be more susceptible to stress from excessive heat absorption, which could lead to cracking. I can’t help wondering if this would affect the warranty should it crack?

The science is that less heat is transmitted through the glass because of the tint underneath, however, more of the IR radiation is absorbed by the tint and it makes the glass hotter. With a strong tint on the roof, driving along, your head should feel less heat as the roof absorbs more IR radiation (heat) but the breeze over the top of the roof will keep the glass cool. As soon as the car stops, the glass will get hotter and radiate more heat into the car. What IR radiation reaches the bottom of the glass roof is absorbed by the tint, some is reflected back through the glass where again more is absorbed by the glass. The glass roof is treated externally with a reflective treatment that removes a lot of the heat. Driving along, I can't feel the heat radiating onto my bald patch, but I can when it's parked in the sun. For me, there is very little heat coming through the glass roof and it's only a problem when I park in the sun and a tint will make that worse.

The Thai car enthusiast belies that if an accessory is made, then it must be good. The idea that less can be more is an anathema to a Thai car enthusiast.

Tint can be confusing, I went for 40% cut (60% transmissible) front, rear and sides, some dealers refer to the percentage as cut and some refer to it as transmissible. My advice FWIW, is do not tint your roof, you will make the glass much hotter. Mine is untinted and it's never a problem.

Get with it and buy an EV.

Mike Lister posted a tax guide 6 months or so ago, you’ll find the rules in there.

I agree, it’s unfair, the issue from their side is how do they know what price you bought at? For example, you could sell overseas making a vast profit, then buy them back overseas. Then sell in Thailand claiming a very small profit. They have thought this through.

In my Seal 25 is often too cold and 26 is often too hot.

It's actually very simple, if you didn't buy your crypto on an authorised Thai exchange but you did sell them on one, then you pay personal income tax (PIT) on the entire sales amount. If you bought them on an authorised Thai exchange then you pay PIT on the profit. Any tax accountant should be able to handle it.

Science confirms you are correct, installing a tinted film under the roof glass will make the glass hotter.

I recommend Citric Acid. I actually use swimming pool hydrochloric acid, it's 35% strength and I dilute it additionally 10 to 1. I don't recommend you use it unless you know what you are doing.

Do you need one? it may be fairly simple. Where did you buy your crypto? Was it prior to 2024?

There is an ECO setting on the air conditioning in the Seal, if that's set then cooling is hopeless. I find my Seal's cooling to be excellent. The roof panel is silver coated on the outside in the factory. It will get hot if parked in the sun and if there is an aftermarket tint on the underside then it will get even hotter. I have not found there to be much heated transmitted in from the glass panel, but if you park in the sun then the glass panel can get very hot, the airflow over it as the car is moving, keeps it cool.

Some food shops sell it and some chemists.
