Alcohol causes violence so weed causing mental illness is ok, really?

A meltdown like this is rare and the average pot smoker will probably never see one. As a retired magistrate I can tell you I saw this and much worse all too often. THC induced paranoia is a very real thing and it destroys families.

The biggest scam at the moment is you order from Lazada COD, it arrives and you sign for it only to find it is worthless. Lazada say you didn't buy it through the Lazada platform, you think you did, but actually you didn't because the seller canceled the order or never marked it as shipped and Lazada canceled the sale. You sign for a piece of junk sent by the shipper directly to you in faux Lazada packing. Yes you can check the order status before you sign for it, but how many of us do that? And why should you need to? Just don't use COD and have Lazada hold your money giving you time to complain.

Actually it doesn’t. Where the seller is a scammer you can still be scammed and a respectable company (ie Lazada or Shopee) are not holding your money.

My daughters do clean, but not properly and my guess is they probably only do it just before I come down to visit them which is every 3 weeks. it’s not so much about spoiling my kids with a cleaning service as it is about preserving this house for resale when they finish university. I tried and failed 6 months ago to find a cleaning company that would service this area, the companies I found would only service their local area.

Not only are you predisposed to offering unsolicited & unwelcome advice, you’re a poor mindreader. I had no such thought. Neither did I make any mistake, which is self evident. If you can’t stay on topic, id est, volunteer details of a maid, then spare me your ignorant assumptions.

It’s very sad, they are allergic to cleaning

Tragically, they are disabled.

Yes you may ask.

My 2 daughters live in Bo Sang attending Payap University. They are like most girls their age, their house is like a pig sty. Does anyone have any recommendation for a maid to come in one or two days per week? Many thanks in anticipation.

That’s excellent, thank you.

I have never DC charged my MG4 but I believe is maximum is well under 100kw, I got it on my other BEV.

Yes, lots of them at 125Kw

It's not internet speculation, a recording of the zoom call is doing the rounds. In terms of betting against Elon, I'd take that bet.

Yes, no sunroof on any MG4

I do think he's a lot smarter than most people on the planet, myself included. I also know he sometimes makes decisions on emotion instead of logic (eg firing people at Twitter who asked him awkward questions on a zoom call). He canned his monopolistic LIDAR supplier over a failure to get them to reduce their price, he doesn't react well when people tell him "No". He seems to be alone in thinking he can implement FSD using cameras, even his own team disagrees with him (if the leaks are anything to go by) as does every other car manufacturer I have read about, even Mercedes Benz have beat him to FSD on the highway in the USA, I suspect it's because they have LIDAR and theirs works. Even Elon admits cameras don't work in rain or fog. FSD is not a small issue, it's the future of Tesla and it could bring it down. I accept it's possible he has a plan. That could be why he's selling FSD for a one-off fee currently and not the subscription model he intends to in the future. Let's see if he starts installing LIDAR, I expect legislation will force him to.

Elon is on record about the latest price cuts/reduction in margin saying that the future is a subscription based model. My concern with him heading up anything is the lack of oversight. He had a spat with the supplier of LIDAR and responded on emotion and threw his toys out the pram and said they would go vision based. I think not using LIDAR is a blind alley. I predict a worldwide cascade of legislation banning any self-driving tech based on vision only. If that happens Tesla’s customer base will turn against them.

I have Sonoff Internet enabled Contactors on my Grid-Tied inverters, I can turn them off from my phone when for part of the time when I am away.

Further, I think if you are ordering multiple identical items, customs may consider they are not for personal use and then an import licence is needed. It's entirely down to the customs officer on the day. Wherever possible, I would recommend importing goods "Special Line" if it is available, I used it when I imported 32 LiFePo4 batteries of 272 AHr each from China, the freight rate is a little higher but no duty or VAT is payable at destination country and it sails through customs. One of the issues you may face if your batteries are coming from Australia, is where they are made, because the FTA for Australia only applies to goods made (not assembled) in Australia, sometimes a COO (certificate of origin) is needed stating over a certain percentage of each item was made in Australia.

Speak to your customs agent/freight company here and see if it is required. A certain order value or weight often triggers the process. For me it involved registering to use the customs e-customs system. I was bringing in ATV's and later parts, but in an individual not a company name. It was about 12 years ago if I recall correctly. Customs in Mae Sai were actually very helpful even though everything came through Laem Chabang. As a further note, your registration expires after 12 months of disuse.

From MSN today... But Musk is cutting prices in a bid to boost sales further – despite the impact on profits. Tesla is set to slash the price of its electric cars in the US for the sixth time this year.

If the price and freight totaled is more than 30,000 baht, you may need an import licence, sometimes customs apply it, sometimes they don't.

I prefer the looks and wheels of the old body, but the uprated tech and kit on the new model. Maybe it’s an age thing, after all I am a grandad! I am sure the EP will be dropped when they have run out of bits to make them, perhaps they ordered too many chrome grilles.

I think it's wise for anyone ordering a Tesla to insist on 12 month's price protection from point of delivery. If the price goes down within 12 months, you get a refund of the same amount. I doubt Tesla would accept that. In China previous customers mobbed the showrooms when the price went down, they got nothing.
