  1. I have never heard of them but the source of the article is Preply, an online language-learning marketplace, has released its rankings on the top ten cities for expats moving to Asia in 2024. Two cities in Thailand, including Bangkok and Chiang Mai, were recognized among them. https://thailand.prd.go.th/en/content/category/detail/id/2078/iid/281977 More detailed breakdown of costs and cities here https://www.nationthailand.com/blogs/thailand/economy/40037327
  2. UK EXTREMISM ADVISER HAS BEEN FUNDED BY ISRAEL LOBBY John Woodcock, the government’s man urging MPs to stop engaging with pro-Palestine groups, has accepted Israel lobby funding amid the Gaza genocide. Yet Woodcock can hardly be considered independent. He has previously worked with the Israel lobby and has even accepted funding from it amid the ongoing genocide in Gaza, Declassified has found. https://www.declassifieduk.org/uk-extremism-adviser-has-been-funded-by-israel-lobby/
  3. I think the majority of parts for EV's are supplied from China There will be a EV supply chain park opening at the end of this year In current terms of economy, jobs supply chain ICE is the key provider example toyota hilux built in Thailand as built 90% from locally supported parts https://aseannow.com/topic/1325045-chinese-firms-eye-ev-supply-chain-in-thailand’s-smart-park/#comment-18846391
  4. Chinese EVs Become Virtually Uninsurable In UK Even Though There’s Nothing Wrong With Them Lack of parts, Long period off the road waiting for parts from China ,No documentation on how to repair vehicles, mismatch in the viability of repairs Chinese costs vs European Costs No Supply Chain https://www.carscoops.com/2024/03/chinese-evs-become-virtually-uninsurable-in-the-uk-says-report/
  5. Its only nonsense from your point of view clearly this subject is being discussed by many different groups from the video in the op to the Bloomberg article and not everyone agrees with your point of view
  6. The will look at which group of vehicles that where the number of deaths and serious injury are increasing to an unacceptable level due to extreme acceleration if ICE vehicles come into that group then or course they will apply similar measures to ICE vehicles but if they don't then there is no need to apply 3 years ago if someone stated on these forums that in 2024 there would be a separate policy definition for car insurance for EV compared to ICE vehicles and that there would be sliding scale on the amount for battery coverage they would have been told it will never happen Porsche, Rimac & Lotus will do the same as every other brand that needs to adjust because laws change If you go back 80 years there was stiff opposition from customers regarding the installation of seat belts some customers requested the manufacturers removed them when fitting became mandatory some customers challenged seat-belt laws in court https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seat_belt At the end of day EV's are about climate change not extreme acceleration so i imagined that any courts cases for maintaining EV extreme acceleration would be rejected and thrown out but we will have to wait and see
  7. Seems I have hit a nerve with you I expect it will be mandatory the 0-100 km acceleration must be higher than 5.0 for road cars and lower than 5.0 for track cars not licensed for road use https://ev-database.org/cheatsheet/acceleration-electric-car End of the line for demon king drivers
  8. Thailand is known to be one of the most unsafe countries worldwide when measured by the proportion of people who die in a road traffic accident. In its most recent global report (2018), the WHO ranks Thailand as the number 9 country with the highest road traffic death rate, with 32.7 deaths per 100,000 population (2018) We know what the main causes of accidents are: motorcyclists not wearing a helmet, people drinking and driving, and speeding. These three risk behaviors, often combined, make traffic dangerous for both the drivers and the passengers, but also for pedestrians, bicyclists and other road users. https://www.who.int/thailand/news/detail/03-01-2023-a-new-year-s-resolution--for-life Once we have seen a major accident in Thailand resulting in a number of children deaths and the root cause of the accident was ev extreme acceleration I expect the Government will pass laws that mandate acceleration be limited in EV
  9. If you ask MG for a guarantee that they wouldn't apply any changes to reducing the acceleration in their cars the stock answer will be Currently we have no plans to apply any changes that would result in limiting the acceleration in our cars however if we were mandated to apply such a change from the Transport safety office in your country then we would have no choice but to apply such a change
  10. I think you will find limiting EV extreme acceleration will happen sooner than you think there is a huge difference in numbers on the road of high performance ICE vehicles vs EV's Insurance companies and Government safety agencies are already looking at Number of deaths , accidents and serious injuries from EV's accidents compared to ICE Electric car acceleration ‘makes crashes more likely’ Broker says premiums are being driven up by the higher number of EV accident claims Electric car drivers are having more accidents because they are not used to the powerful acceleration, a top insurance broker has claimed. https://www.telegraph.co.uk/business/2024/01/27/electric-cars-acceleration-powerful-crash-more/
  11. When the number of deaths and serious injury increase to an unacceptable level due to extreme acceleration Expect that manufacturers will be required to mandatory apply a change to all existing and new vehicles to limit the extreme acceleration on EV's Extreme Acceleration Is the New Traffic Safety Frontier The electric vehicle revolution has also helped deliver a new golden age of automotive horsepower — and safety regulators aren’t ready for it https://www.bloomberg.com/news/features/2023-01-06/welcome-to-the-age-of-extreme-acceleration
  12. I posted "A report by McKinsey China has shown significant disillusionment among Chinese electric car owners in 2023, with 22% stating they wouldn’t consider new energy vehicles (NEVs) for their next car yes we don't know the question asked in the survey it might have been Will your next car be a NEV Now what we don't know is what was the response of the other 78% it might have been yes next car will be a NEV or it might have been a % for yes and a % for not sure or a % will say depends on what is available when we come to replace our current model So we don't know the question that was asked and we don't know the response from the other 78% there may have been multiple replies As stated All your claims of 78% are fake and Your claimed 78% are happy with their choice is a figment of your imagination there isn't a single mention in the article where it states that 78% are happy
  13. And I don't get why you would post that I posted a link claiming xxx when I clearly didn't post such a link And why you attempt to extrapolate a point of view where no such information is available from within the article https://chinaeconomicreview.com/one-in-five-chinese-ev-owners-wouldnt-buy-another/ If you think my posts are nonsense and wasting your time the simply answer is to ignore them and don't reply
  14. I wouldn't expect you to allow anyone on this forum to get away with posting fake information about EV's or ICE vehicles on this forum unless it was favorable towards EV's I don't plan on changing vehicles until 2028 And yes I have driven an EV
  15. Tesla has been ordered to recall nearly 4,000 of its Cybertrucks due to an accelerator pedal that can stick in place when pressed down. The cause, according to the regulator: soap. “An unapproved change introduced lubricant (soap) to aid in the component assembly of the pad onto the accelerator pedal. Residual lubricant reduced the retention of the pad to the pedal,” the NHTSA wrote in the recall document. https://edition.cnn.com/2024/04/19/business/tesla-cybertruck-recall/index.html#:~:text=Tesla
