Solar power, can it be done DIY?
I get emails from them occasionally, I don't specifically remember one inverter, I tend to look at all of them. I think I have 3 of the same inverters in your photo (5.5Kw Hybrid). I couldn't get them to export any decent amount to PEA and when they were working, they were incredibly noisy so I added 3 grid-tied 6Kw MUST inverters and moved the PV onto them, now I use the Hybrid inverters purely as whole house UPS. I bought direct from MUST in China, shipped Thailand Special Line so no duty/VAT payable, came out at half the price of Lazada delivered to my door. Are your battery packs connected in parallel as one big pack? The inverters will fail if there is a mismatch in battery voltages, it's why they tell you to keep the cables the same length.

What is the best way to send very large sums of money overseas?
That can also be problematic, say you bought your condo for 5M but only declared 3M purchase price to land office and sold it for 10M but only declared 8M sale to land office, you can only send 3M overseas with land office documentation alone.

You can't answer that question without knowing the source of the funds, it depends whether you can prove that you either brought the money into the country legally or earned it here and paid tax on it, or not. If you can't then it's completely different.

Electric Vehicles in Thailand
Comparing UK prices between the different variations of the MG4, I think the X Power should be 1.3M baht here. I went to the showroom yesterday, they said the X Power may come next year.

Pakistani man arrested in Thailand for using fake license plates and evading highway tolls
It may not be his fault. Many years ago I bought a brand new car from a major dealership and they gave me red plates but no brown book, from a stack of plates, showing the identical registration numbers. Apparently, it's much cheaper for the dealer to do this.

Gone are the days when you used to get a special handle for handbrake turns, shame!

Electric Vehicles in Thailand
I haven't checked mine, but I will have a look when I'm ready for my next round of DIY, I'm recovering from turning a small leak in the ball valve of my water tank to completely destroying the new one by over tightening it, I knew I should have left it to a professional.

I don't know anything about the ZS, but there is a huge difference in the way the EP and MG4 drive. We have both, my daughter loves her EP and wouldn't swap it for my MG4 & I feel the same about my MG4. The EP is front wheel drive and softly sprung, it's a fantastic car on a long distance journey, especially for passengers, but it's not sporty and has understeers on the limit. The MG4 is rear wheel drive and firmly sprung with a 50/50 weight distribution, very much a sporty hot hatchback and I've had it on the limit a couple of times. The limit is very high and slight oversteer. I do drive spiritedly, but I don't like high speed. It's not as comfortable for passengers, it's very much a driver's car.

Is a Drug to Treat Cannabis Addiction Finally Within Reach?
Most users live in their little bubble of normality, i.e. I'm not addicted so there is no addiction, I'm not violent so there is no violence. Some of us in the judiciary or medical field see what happens when it all goes wrong, and I can tell you that your bubble of normality is well and truly burst for us.

The price war on EVs may harm interests of customers
The guy in the link you posted (Winston Sterzel) has been discredited as a China hater, he can't go to China, hasn't been there in years. Most of his videos are anti-China.

Easy Peasy Lemon Squeezy That video is actually using a failed car sharing's stock of cars seen here https://www.scmp.com/abacus/tech/article/3029238/thousands-shared-electric-cars-seen-discarded-hangzhou and misrepresenting it as the manufacturer stockpiling. Quod Erat Demonstrandum

The price war on EVs may harm interests of customers
Winston Sterzel aka SerpentZA is a Chinese hater who hasn't been to China in years since he left expecting his imminent arrest. Most of his anti-Chinese rants have been debunked, they are designed to appeal to a certain kind of Westerner.

Absolutely that video is fake news, it's why I called your post.

They won't hook me into buying a Dolphin, I can sea where it fits on the scale of what's available, they might reel me in to the extended range model though.

I have had a test drive in the City Turbo, whilst I think it's the best ICE car in it's class, it still felt very slow.

Rosuvastatin in Thailand
I used to buy the Sandoz Rosuvastatin at a pharmacy here in Chiang Rai, now I get it from the Government Hospital where it is a quarter of the price.

Elon Musk has destroyed more than half of Twitter’s value in a little over 2 months, investor filing suggests (yahoo.com)

Tesla in Thaiand
Elon Musk is undoubtably a brilliant engineer, like all humans, he can be driven illogically by emotion and make extremely poor decisions and Elon's increible engineering ability seems to be equally matched by his elevated stupidity. He has singlehandedly destroyed Twitter, it's worth less than half of what it was when he bought it, Mark Zuckerberg is now building a competitor to Twitter, he sees the opportunity. Musk has upset lots of Tesla owners and non-owners with his uncontrolled tweets and a heck of a lot of Tesla owners with his continuous spate of discounting the price, destroying his customers investments in their cars. I have followed Elon Musk closely and remember why he ditched LIDAR and went Vision based FSD. It wasn't because Vision was better, it was because he had a public spat with the owner of the LIDAR technology who refused to lower his price, at the time had a monopoly. Musk made that very important decision on emotion and it is his emotional decisions which will bring him down. I don't think Tesla will ever get approval for Vision based FSD and where they do it will be limited, it won't work in poor visibility (approx 40% of every 24 hour day), it won't work in fog, heavy rain, when the sun is low in the sky etc. You would be better specifying a chocolate teapot with your Tesla than Vision based FSD. LIDAR has none of these restrictions.
