I have no idea what the asterisk is for, but I am unsurprised with Tesla's sales results. There's no 150k THB subsidy, and whilst the rest of the world has had a multitude of price cuts over the last year, we haven't. Why would anyone buy an expensive Model 3 when the BYD Seal is cheaper and, in many ways, better.

Thank you, I have already made contact, though I want to do a test first with some printed paper on my mirror to see if my old eyes will focus on something close without removing my driving glasses, I suspect they may not. Lane Keeping Assist is wrongly labeled on the MG too, it should be called LKY, Lets Kill You.

Range/Fuel Anxiety is an issue for all new owners too, until they make a long journey and start noticing all the charging stations, then it's a non-issue.

Yes I am very interested, I can't find anything on the web, can I have contact details and I will ask them where it is? I am now next in the queue for my Seal, hopefully next week, though I am away in Vietnam all next week.

Thank you kindly Sir, please make it a British one, an Australian one is lost on me…

I usually post from a position of experience, not ignorant guesswork . I am sorry if that left foots you.

Louis Roederer Millesime Cristal in a Stuart Crystal Glencoe flute. At most of our ages, the lead in old crystal is unlikely to make much difference.

Apologies to Dolphin owners, I forgot about that model.

The link said exactly the opposite of what you said. Regarding trade in value, I lost 10% on my EV after two years, pretty good I think

Did you even read the link the OP provided?

I don't think Thailand will get it, though it looks fantastic

Which BYD car did you buy?

perfect

Congratulations, I am still awaiting my 3.8s in Space Grey ordered 19th October.

Yes, you can’t remove the plug until charging is stopped and the car releases the interlock. If you can pull the plug out, and charging has already stopped, unless there is a fault, for example, the recall on the ORA good cat

I think it’s when the white plate is issued. I ran on Red plate for 9 months because I wanted the car registered the following year.

Generally, the car deciding to stop charging is preferable to any other method, shutting off a breaker will make the car see and record an error. There is no power on the plug until after it has been inserted to the car socket and the handshake between car & charger completed. One of the pins is a proximity connection, it tells the car and the wall box or granny charger to give a handshake. The Charger tells the car the maximum current it is capable of delivering (this can be the current you have set if your charger has selectable current) and the car then controls the process. The handshake is entirely analogue to avoid interference with digital signals. The wall box/granny charger can shutdown the charging, this is considered to be an error condition by the car. Some clever wall boxes have a temperature sensor on the plug that goes into the car and will shutdown the charging if the temperature gets too high. Some cars also have a temperature sensor and will slow down the charging if the temperature of the socket gets too high. You can plug your granny charger into the mains after plugging it into the car, same with turning on the breaker after you have plugged the wall box charger into the car. If you do it this way the handshake will begin when power is at the charger, you could for example have a timer to start the charging, but you shouldn't use a timer to stop the charging unless you know the car will definitely be fully charged. If the power is cut during charging, it shouldn't restart on its own, the international standard requires the car to be unplugged and plugged in again if an error condition occurs. My wall charger is permanently connected, I never bother to shut off the breaker. Always tell the car to stop charging rather than unplug your granny charger or shut off the breaker. It will avoid contact damage on the mains plug of your granny charger and let's the car record a successful end to the charging process.

If your gate is close enough to receive WiFi then I would fit a Sonoff module, otherwise fit a GSM module and open it with a free call from your mobile phones. I use a Sonoff WiFi module and open my gate with the voice command "Hey Siri Gate", same on my electric garage door.

He's a sensationalist, and before you ask, my Electronic Engineering degree trumps his Mechanical Engineering Degree in anything electrical.

I already explained it you twice. Because it does not always perform as it should meeting International Certifications. Unplugging whilst charging will make a spark which will erode the contacts, if the contacts are eroded or blackened then the resistance increases and the plug & socket will get hot.

I stand corrected, my research did not find that study.

That statement is true. There have been NO clinical trials that prove or disprove it's efficacy in preventing Covid. There are clinical trials that prove nothing.

Please look at the plug & socket arrangement. You will find as the plug is removed when the connection is broken and for a further centimeter approximately, the plastic shielding around the body of the plug is still engaged in the car. 220 volts will not support an arc in open air over a gap of 1cm and even if it did, it would be contained by the outer plug shield and invisible to the user. By the time the contacts are 1mm apart, the connection is still double insulated by both the plastic shield around the pins and secondly by the plastic shield around the entire plug, at the same distance of 1mm, the power from the wall box has already shutoff because the wall box lost the pilot signal from the car. A lot of thought has gone into the design of these plugs and sockets to make them very safe.

I discounted the clinical trials that claimed to prove Ivermectin effective in preventing Covid because the scientific community found them flawed. One of your references stated "No study investigated ivermectin for prevention of infection or compared ivermectin to an intervention with proven efficacy" The cochrane reference states they simply reviewed existing trialsto prevent or treat COVID-19and found no evidence to support Ivermectin. I submit there have been NO trials to test for Ivermectin as a prophylaxis as one of your references confirmed.

Ivermectin through a series of clinical trials has been shown to have a negligible efficacy on treating Covid. There have been no clinical trials that prove or disprove its efficacy in preventing Covid. It's better not to draw a conclusion without scientific evidence, so we simply cannot say it does or doesn't work in preventing Covid.
