Most people don't, which is why we have so many models available. Supply follows demand.

I was a teenager back then, I would have loved the 1750HL model. I loved the AllAgro.

There are not many of you, car buying decisions on logic, robotic almost (pun intended).

IIRC didn't Cambodia suggest the ICJ and Thailand refused, that would be a bit fishy IMHO

Cars are usually bought with emotion, or we would all be driving white Toyota's. How do you price in that in your calculations?

What's the difference between the MY's 23 & 24?

It has a tapering effect, by the time the cars are a few years old it probably makes no difference. I normally change my car every 2 years, I'll extend that to 3 or 4 years because of the discounts, or hand it on to a daughter.

Rearrange the following into a sentence Balls got they by you the

Don’t be tempted to buy cheap LED conversions, there’s usually a fan to keep them cool and the fan will quickly wear out, and then the bulbs will fail.

The BBC get it wrong occasionally. However, they are moral enough to admit when they get it wrong and tread a neutral unbiased line. Without the BBC what news about what’s going on in Gaza would we get?

I have my own RO system, I'm not sure you can trust any supplier.

I admit, I haven't tried to new buttons, I was navigation all the way through the climate control menus

An observation, in case you hadn't noticed it. You can lend your car to someone else, and they can charge it to 100% with ReverSharger plug and charge without needing any app. You'll get a notification on your phone to pay within 24 hours, at the end of the charge process. I'm not sure about stopping the charge process before 100%, maybe there is a stop charging option on the car's infotainment screen otherwise you would need them to scan the QR Code on the charger for you to stop it. Does anyone know if it's possible to put the ventilated seats option back on the bottom bar of the display? It's the one I use most often.

I think the slowdown we’ve experienced last year is hitting China. They have a slowdown in consumer purchasing and this is BYD’s approach to get sales numbers up. just my educated guess, nothing to back it up. I’m not worried.

Generally, single males of that age can be poor & miserable in their home country or be rich and miserable in Thailand. How long they stay rich depends on the ladies usually. We say money doesn't buy you happiness but you can be miserable in luxury.

I won't be using PIN to drive, I don't have a need for it. I would prefer to see a PIN to set/unset valet mode which would limit the power to (say) 60hp and max speed to 40km/hr.

I just test drove the MG IM6, it was one down from the top (fast) one. I like its LFP battery chemistry. Massive boot space. The electric button to open the door an inch or so, the display and it’s quiet. I’m not a fan of the ride, it was a bit jiggly and definitely not as good as the BYD Seal AWD. Surprising, considering I understand it’s air suspension. It would be interesting to compare the a BYD Sealion 7. At ฿1.4 million I’m not feeling the value. It’s not very quick, the performance model would fix that but unfortunately it’s NMC battery chemistry and that is a big negative factor for me.

I just set Auto On and Auto Off. The former saves time as it’s ready to engage Drive when you sit down and bypasses the delay from pressing start to being able to drive. Auto Off is largely redundant as I will continue to manually switch off, but it’s good to know it’s there if I forget.

My daughter got an MX125 at 14 years old. Before getting it I took her down to government hospital and we walked around the trauma ward. Afterwards I asked the nurse how many of the 15 or so beds were motorbike accidents and she said “all of them”. My daughter was told if she was caught with no helmet she would lose the bike for 3 days, 2nd offence would 3 weeks and 3rd offence the bike would be sold. We got to 3 days only. When she was 16 she got a new Kawasaki Ninja 400. That was 7 years ago, we still have it, it’s done 10,000km only (for sale if anyone wants it). I just had it serviced and new tyres put on it, the technician told me from the tyre wear she never leans it or corners fast. I got her a car as soon as she was old enough to drive it legally. Girls are mostly different. They want to show off how nice and top of the range their ride is. Boys unfortunately want to show off their high speed riding skills and don’t seem to appreciate the danger. Three times she came home from school to tell me a boy had died on his motorcycle. I don’t know what I would do if I had boys, but I’m sure it would involve everything I’ve already done and as long as possible professional riding instruction. I would also test his riding with a hidden tracker on the bike.

Would I be right in assuming you had 2 air cons in the one bed apartment? Did you run them both 24/7? It's possible you could achieve that number of units if you did. You really need to see those PEA/MEA bills (not to verify the rate unless the landlord's rate is not mentioned, but to verify the readings), you need to speak to AirBnB, presumably your bill has come via them and you need to tell them you dispute the meter readings (and the rate if he didn't specify one). The landlord is likely to respond that he no longer has them if he's cheating you, be ready for that, with a copy of any of his bills you can probably get the history loaded into an app and see the meter readings on reading days.

Check your T’s and C’s and see what it says about electricity. if it doesn’t say anything then you can ask to see the PEA/MEA bills and pay that, involve Airbnb in the process. Checking the bills will also enable you to tell whether the opening reading was accurate or an old one. You have uses 8,080 kwhrs, 7 baht per unit is not exceptional in a rented property, there are some people here paying a lot more than that in a housing estate.

Take a look at BYD, MG and GEELY.

Thanks I’ll turn on Auto Power On, I’m undecided about auto power off

There’s a world of difference in performance in those cars compared to the MG4 X-Power. The massive uptake in EV’s over the last 2 years, people are turning away from Honda and Toyota, that says a lot.

The MG4 doesn’t have auto on, you’ll have to pump the brake pedal and quite often you have to wait for a few seconds and do it again. The auto Off feature is mostly great on the MG4, where it’s a bit of a pain is if you’re wanting to unload the car. My daughters come back from Chiang Mai and the car is loaded to the guns with dogs and stuff. On my BYD, I found a pin to start option, but I didn’t find the auto start, but I like the idea of getting into the car and it’s already on.
