There's that charming EV enthusiast personality again! You birds of a feather are fascinating. Nasty, defensive, childish .... but fascinating.

Interesting (and includes a brief definition of an EVangelist):

Try watching the vid before commenting.

The interest for me is not in the many glories of EV ownership but rather in the almost unfathomable mentality of those who promote it.

Our 6 hour EV charging disaster...how is it still this bad? Apologize if others have posted this previously. Good entertainment for EV skeptics. No, it's not in Thailand.

Keep trying.

Yes, let's just say that. A challenge to find any sane reason to have them in my life.

You might find you do not even own that if you suddenly run afoul of some whim at Thai immigration

People can figure things out for themselves. Unless they're desperately delusional & arrogant EVangelists.

How clever! Just revealing your true character for all to see. Plenty of vids on YouTube showing EVs lined up to charge. Wake up, you're living in denial.

Worrying about which anonymous user might be posting an unflattering reaction to one's posts? Really?

Let's say we accept for the moment those (old) stats as accurate. Many/most "detached houses" are on tiny plots of land and/or are rented, occupied by poor people, or are otherwise unsuitable for solar installations. A new reason why EVangelists are so annoying has occurred to me: EVs are status symbols. "Look at me! How smart I am! AND that's not all ... I have home solar! You, plebs, cannot possibly understand how clever this is!" PS: Witnessed this evening yet another line up for the charging stations at a local PTT.

Well aren't you clever! Home solar also an excellent choice for the millions in Thailand - billions globally - living in rented apartments and condos.

AI generated?

You're generalizing there ....

Think we've all been there at some point. Firmly believing we have answers or insights that we later see to be ridiculous. I actually don't think KhunLA believes EVs are as convenient and free of downsides as he argues. Certainly they are not for most people - and he knows that.

A sure sign of mental illness is when one begins believing one's own bullsh¡t.

Earth to KhunLA ...

Yet the 10k baht handout explicitly prohibits its use to pay off debt. Some things are sacred.

Good thread. Got a few more 'Ignore Users' out of it.

The point - for those too thick to understand - was that Grab is evidently adding a 'fee' for Cash payment higher than the 'fee' for foreign credit cards.

Indeed. 'Annoy customer' seems to be a staple of Thai business. Perhaps their thinking: "If the customer is happy it means we could have extracted a few more baht out of them."

Yes. The total. Or the 'grand total' if you prefer.

Just selected 'Cash' as a payment method on a Grab order and the total was 2 baht higher than that for my foreign credit card ... Getting jerked around by Grab (Lazada, Shopee, etc. etc.) has made using their services annoying. But these companies don't seem to care: in Asia there's always another 10 million uneducated, non-discerning, serfs potential customers happily lining up to be manipulated.
