You hoped that your selective posting and misleading posts would remain hidden and unoticed

Looking at the above post gives the impression that no-one is buying ICE vehicles anymore Department of Land Transport publishes registrations figures What we do know is between 1st February 2024 to 31st July 2024 for the DLT category R.Y. 1 Private passenger car with no more than 7 people which doesnt include all cars as there are many cars including EV's that come under different DLT categories The Total number of registrations including ev's are 257,760 the number of ev's within that number are 28,651 https://web.dlt.go.th/statistics/

Not sure what a bygt salmon is but I don't have one

Only in your opinion And as stated R.Y. 1 Private passenger car with no more than 7 people which doesnt include all cars as there are many cars including EV's that come under different DLT categories The Total number of registrations including ev's are 257,760 the number of ev's within that number are 28,651 So 229,109 people that registered there new car purchase under R.Y. 1 Private passenger car with no more than 7 people chose ICE over EV as their preferred choice

There is a thread here that Ford Thailand is sold out until 2025 Ford Everest Platinum Sold Out This Year... Chances of waiting to get in early 2025

Absolute Rubbish my posts are not misleading I simply posted the facts that EV sales are down for the period 1st February 2024 to 31st July 2024 compared to the same period last year I am sure forum members can make their own minds up about the state of EV sales We are all aware that the majority of EV brands have reduced their prices by as much as B340,000 manufacturers reduce the price of their products for a number of reasons but its mainly oversupply and lack of demand A number of EV's have stated they are against reducing prices and would prefer it comes to an end as soon as possible I don't recall the Late Steve Jobs or the current Apple CEO Tim Cook going stating Hey Guys I know Apple sales are doing better than expect but I have a brilliant idea lets reduce the product price by 35% What we do know is between 1st February 2024 to 31st July 2024 for the DLT category R.Y. 1 Private passenger car with no more than 7 people which doesnt include all cars as there are many cars including EV's that come under different DLT categories The Total number of registrations including ev's are 257,760 the number of ev's within that number are 28,651

Before EV's existed ICE had 100% market share so when a new kid comes on the block its natural that ICE will lose some of its % market share to EV's Similar to VHS and Betamax before betamax VHS had 100% market share In 1984 Betamax sales Peaked Sales of Betamax videocassettes reached their peak in 1984, when Sony shipped 50 million units, according to the company. Soon after they became obsolete, living fossils. https://fortune.com/2015/11/10/betamax-sony-kill/ Betamax recorders continued to be manufactured and sold until August 2002, when Sony announced that they were discontinuing production of all remaining Betamax models. Sony continued to sell blank Betamax cassettes until March 2016 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Betamax

Notiiced that you ignored the post where the op stated he doesn't want a MG or Haval

The Op has already stated he doesn't want an EV and if you watch Phuket News he most likely to be correct in his thinking Everyday there reports of flooding in different districts in Phuket My understanding is there is only 5 charging stations for the whole of Phuket according to chargemap I know EV sales are slighty down for the 6 months of this year February to July 2024 compared to the same period in 2023

I repeated the same methodology for June Total EV registrations for June according to the A.

Total EV registrations for July according to the A. Combine vehicles according to the automobile law. was 8,270 Remove R.Y.12 personal motorcycle numbers 2,411 and the total remaining is 5,859 Remove R.Y.3 personal truck numbers of 73 and the total remaining is 5,786 Here are the vehicle categories and they all have either ICE or EV vehicles R.Y. 1 Private passenger car with no more than 7 people R.Y. 2 Private passenger cars with more than 7 people R.Y. 4 personal three-wheeled vehicle R.Y. 6 Vehicles for hire carrying no more than 7 passengers.

Do you use the Pillows/cushions to achieve the sofa angled backrest as most of the Thai wooden long benches I have seen normally the backrest is not angled I assume natural latex mattress or high density foam cushion grade 50D would be suitable for cushion Here is video of a girl making her own sofa from plywood have to say end result looks good not sure about just using handsaw

No I don't , I thought someone on this forum might have since MG did apply the "lifetime warranty" to existing owners of certain models i am aware that Nissan USA is having problems sourcing some EV batteries where owners are being advised that they may need to wait for up to 12 months while Nissan tries to obtain the battery or Nissan has offered buyback offers which seem to be very generous where the buyback offer has been higher than the original net payment paid by the owner

You could be helpful as let everyone know since you placed a deposit on a MG Cyberster and I know you would have fully researched the vehicle which of the Lifetime Warranty? 3 Definitions applied to MG

What Is a Lifetime Warranty? 3 Definitions A lifetime warranty is a guarantee from the manufacturer or service provider that the product will be free from defects in materials and/or workmanship for a specified "lifetime" period. Lifetime may mean: 1)As long as the product is on the market. In these cases, the company will guarantee the product unless it is discontinued. 3)As long as the original owner owns the product. In this case, the company does not allow you to transfer the warranty to a new owner. 3)For the duration of the product's intended lifespan. In this case, the company will guarantee the product for a specified "lifespan". 20-30 years, Reading and understanding the T&C is important on products that offer a "Lifetime Warranty"

My understanding is of the 2 factories in Thailand they are consolidating all vehicle production into a single plant which they opened in 2016 and the older plant opened in 1996 will still remain open building car parts instead of vehicle production Likewise Honda closed its only vehicle production plant in Europe ( Swindon) in 2021 there was many reasons but at the time there was a new EU-Japan trade deal which "effectively removed tariffs on Japanese-built cars imported into Europe Hence vehicle production in Europe surplus to requirements

and yet Honda posted incrreased sales and profits worldwide

Hard to predict what value will be in 10 years Currently last remaining brand new Neta V1 are being sold for B369K 2nd hand Neta V1 are being traded on Neta facebook page for B280+K

Both Honda and Toyota seem to be doing very well TOKYO (AP) — Honda reported Wednesday that its profit rose 8.7% in the April-June quarter as strong sales of hybrid vehicles in Japan and the U.S., and motorcycles in India and Brazil, boosted the Japanese automaker’s earnings. Honda Motor Co.’s profit in the last quarter totaled 394.7 billion yen ($2.7 billion), up from 363 billion yen a year earlier. Quarterly sales rose nearly 17% to 5.4 trillion yen ($36.7 billion).

Youi should ask about Plastic battery covers and rats and insurance costs there is someone here that as an atto3 extended has had 2 insurance claims and insurance has quoted them B42K at 2nd year renewal https://www.facebook.com/groups/bydthailand/permalink/853386810101435 bought the Byd Dolphin on June 6th and got an appointment to spray the coating and install the battery guard under the car on July 26th. It turned out that the technician found rat bite marks under the car, as shown in the 3 spots in the picture. https://www.facebook.com/groups/bydthailand/permalink/853815483391901/ owner was advised that battery cover and battery requires replacing and was advised to claim under their car insurance at a cost of 336,905 baht Insurance company is trying to reduce cost by only replacing battery cover

As far as I am aware this forum is for many people not just @JBChiangRai the advice given on these forums is if your not interested in the content of a post ignore it and move on The total number of EV's registered for July is 8,262 and the total number of registrations including EV's for July is 200,405 giving EV's a market share of 4.123%
