  1. Yes, it would make so much sense.
  2. If you order the extra NFC at 500 baht, can they be used so the first one sets driver's seat position for driver 1 and so on?
  3. I ripped all my CD's (way more than 200) and then put them in the bin. CD's & DVD's have gone the way of the dinosaur.
  4. Head or Heart? Head - Premium Heart - Performance The issue for me is "buyer's remorse". If I bought the premium and then yearned for the Performance.... Safer to pay the little bit more at the outset.
  5. Just over 2 weeks ago I ordered The BYD Seal Performance in Space Grey. I was 7th in the queue then and I am currently 4th in the queue for that model/colour, there are 22 in the queue for the mid model in that colour which seems to be the most popular. Hopefully, I will get it later this month. I too have the BYD camera sat in a draw waiting to be fitted. My youngest daughter hardly ever drives her car (a Suzuki Ciaz) and doesn't want an EV which suits me because she parks her car in the sun and doesn't move it for weeks on end. My eldest daughter wants to take my MG4 which frees up her Grey Metallic 13 month old MG EP+ with 11,000km on it. I will probably be advertising it later this month. I haven't a clue what to ask, it cost 771,000 in October last year, is immaculate, has dashcam and both dip & main beam bulbs upgraded to Xenon HID. MG wall charger still new in the box. What do you think it's worth?
  6. Old enough to know better
  7. How old are you?
  8. You wouldn't be a politician would you?
  9. Some of us have kids at university and the last thing we want is AN pervs anywhere near them.
  10. I just got back today from my second trip within 5 weeks, no problem at all for Brits, nothing needed.
  11. We went round this loop with our dealer before getting the 2nd MG. The card was a lot cheaper than that, they had to order it from MG and when we came they spent an hour on the phone to HQ trying to get it to work, in the end they refunded us. When we took delivery of our 2nd MG I tried my non-MG car in the DC Charger, the salesperson said I was wasting my time and it wouldn’t work, but it worked like a charm. MG DC Chargers are actually another well known network in Thailand, I forget which, the secret is on the plaque with the serial number on the charger.
  12. You can use your iSMART App by scanning the QR code on the DC charger, it thinks all cars charging DC are MG’s (I tried it with another brand of EV and it worked perfectly, we don’t have any cards).
  13. I think the same on single phase, maybe faster on 3 phase, i’m sure someone who’s read the manual will confirm if they charge at 11 kW on three phase? I think MG is 7.2Kw regardless. anyone who has an MG can also charge their BYD cars at all the MG stations on high-speed DC
  14. Here is my eldest daughter at 15 with her Kawasaki Ninja 400.
  15. Strikes on south Gaza: BBC verifies attacks in areas of ‘safety’ https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-middle-east-67264703 These kind of reports together with high civilian casualty numbers (especially children) is likely to harm Israel’s reputation and weaken support from the international community.
  16. Has anyone fitted the Atto Dashcam yet?
  17. Try increasing tyre pressure
  18. 7Kw is minuscule to what you draw when driving, even 150kw is comparable to driving spiritedly.
  19. I am currently in Da Nang, the coffee served at breakfast is undrinkable. The coffee shops serve decent coffee though. In Chiang Rai I buy from The Roast & Roastery, 2 shops owned by a chap called Roj who grows, roasts and sells his own coffee in his shops. His beans aren’t too dark and dry looking rather than oily.
  20. Is Israel preventing anything from entering through the Rafah crossing?
  21. The reason I wanted to make my own wall box was to vary the charging current with amount of solar power present. The only way for anything external to the car to change the current is to stop the charging process, fully disconnect and repeat the hand shake process with different parameters. I wanted a smooth transition from one speed to another and it’s not possible. 1 or 2 of my solar power inverters shut down if a large load is removed and the voltage shoots up too high. You can get the parts to make your own wall box on AliExpress including the logic controller that send the pulses to the car’s charger.
  22. Probably right, it makes sense allowing for hysteresis in the battery. On the other hand, higher current charging produces more heat and the cooling system wastes energy removing it from the batteries.
  23. In effect, yes. Incidentally, I read somewhere that it’s not a good idea to charge your car immediately after driving it, you should leave it for an hour to cool down the batteries.
  24. Because an either/or argument precludes other options.
