The Minister of Interior has stated the visa revocation is a completely separate issue from the court case The court case is brought under Section 295. The penalty is imprisonment not exceeding 2 years or a fine not exceeding 40,000 baht, or both. if found guilty https://www.thairath.co.th/news/local/south/2769136 Police Colonel Itthipol Itthisaranachai, Superintendent of Immigration Division 6, The report highlighted the individual's behavior, indicating multiple incidents of misconduct, totaling 3-4 times, which adversely affected the peace and happiness of the people in the country, posing a threat to society. https://www.facebook.com/watch/?ref=saved&v=419778263900124 I would suspect that the Police have access to information that is not in the public domain Remember his visa was revoked under section 12 Immigration Act, B.E. 2522 7 Having behavior which would indicated possible danger to the public or likelihood of being a nuisance or constituting any violence to the peace or safety of the public or to the security of the public or to the security of the nation, or being under warrant of arrest by competent officials of foreign governments. -
Thai EV sales surge by 603% amid government incentives

Buying this time of the year you have to be careful as it could be a 2024 model with a build date of November/December 2023 and it may have been sitting in a showroom somewhere without plates Normally if the buyer asks these builds offer the highest discount -

I went to a couple of Toyota dealership in 2022 and the waiting list for Toyota corolla cross was 4-6 months Most ICE Brands prefer to build just in time and the vehicle is already sold to either a dealer or end customer has it rolls off the production line The days of fields stacked with cars waiting to be sold are long gone -

EV 3.0 was a higher subsidy but EV 3.5 has resulted in lower total price on some models so not sure how EV 3.0 can be described as a better subsidy March figures wouldn't contain any of the cars sold at the Motorshow those figures wouldn't show up until May or June registrations figures are released -

I expect the March figures will be slightly better than February figures but still down on January figures with all the yoyo pricing and discounting that started In January this year some buyers in the facebook groups are complaining that for certain models the overall price for cars under EV subsidy are more favorable under EV 3.5 compared to EV 3.0 While yoyo pricing and discounting does attract new interest they seen how the price has dropped compared to a few months ago and their concern is buy now or wait and see for further price reductions And yoyo pricing and discounting puts off finance companies from lending as it makes them nervous over lending Similar scenario played out In China end of 2022 when buyers were urged to get their orders in before the end of the Chinese subsidy ended 31st December 2022 then Tesla announced huge price cuts https://www.reuters.com/business/autos-transportation/protesting-tesla-china-buyers-vow-more-pressure-over-price-cuts-they-missed-2023-01-10/ I see Byd in China has reduced the price of the Seagull to 69,800 yuan or approx B350,000 I suspect it wouldn't be that price in Thailand -

You can say the same about EV dealerships then with a dramatic reduction of sales in February 2024 of 72.12% compared to January 2024 If EV yearly sales remain at 76,000 per year it will take 164 years before every cars in Thailand is an EV If a dealership has a good receptionist they take note of how people come through the door how many leave without asking for further information ( Window Shopping ) How many ask for more information which sales person they were assigned to. and sales manager will have list of monthly sales, who the salesperson was and have a breakdown of number of people engaging with a sales person and how many sales were completed So if a dealership sees a drop in people coming through the door and completed sales dropping they will look at their immediate competitors to see if they are doing anything different and take appropriate action I have only ever come across 1 dealership in the middle east where they were offering a 2 for 1 deal and that was buy a used Rolls Royce and they would through in a old fiat 500c with canvas roof and no a/c -

I don't think any of the Toyota Dealerships will be worried with only EV 3,083 vehicles being sold in Chiang Mai -

That might happen In Bangkok where there is an oversupply of dealerships Thailand Number of Registered Vehicles was reported at 20,463,502 Unit in Jan 2024. excluding motorcyles Once you exclude commercial and agricultural vehicles that leaves approx 12.5 million vehicles on the road remove all the EV registered between January 2020 and 31st January 2024 approx 102,090 or in % terms 0.8% so approx 12.4 million ice vehicles registered on the road January 2024 Once you step outside Bangkok a different picture emerges 10 states with the highest number of people using electric vehicle cars Of course, the province with the highest number of registrations is Bangkok, with 52,751 vehicles, and the province that follows in second place is Chiang Mai, with 3,083 vehicles, and in third place is Chonburi, with 2,392 vehicles. https://www.newsdirectory3.com/analysis-of-electric-vehicle-registrations-in-thailand-and-expansion-of-charging-stations/ Phuket numbers seem low 1,039 cars and Mae Hong Son Province, 1 vehicle That single EV in the Mae Hong Son Province must be feeling lonely -

I assume you mean the Tune hotel at klia2 which is owned by Air Asia and is also the hotel that the flight stewardess stay at -
I think closure of this thread should be left to the op who hasn't been online for 20 hours if any member can request closure of a thread because they don't like the content no one can predict if the op requires further information on Durability of Chinese EVs or does the op want to modify the title to include all EV since we know Chinese EV's have only been in Thailand since 2019 no very long when you compare 5 years with 20 years of the current Toyota model that his relative is driving would you agree that the closure of this thread without the op's approval would be acceptable

Its a forum people have different opinions not everyone agrees with your opinions of my posts so i will still post regardless of what you think about my posts
-
I am not going to stop posting just for you and as to your opinion of my posts as Tony Blair once said am i bothered
-
But you seem to be a fan of my posts so enjoy there will be more in the future

My post count shows 4,000 it must have taken you weeks to read every single post

I think your being deliberately obtuse if you read the article they driver stated Battery malfunction was displayed on the screen after that time the brakes failed to work when pressed

Read the article driver stated battery malfunction Last time I checked the M62 near Manchester isn't in Thailand

Plenty of posters with no experience of non Chinese EVs, yet they are more than happy to advise you based on their extensive ignorance. Haven't seen a single forum member of this forum admitting to owning a Nissan Leaf EV but I have seen plenty of posts from the EV fanboys on this forum slagging off the Nissan Leaf EV yet no one owns one or not admitting owning one @Maybole Durability of Chinese EVs impossible to answer since Chinese Ev's only available in Thailand in small numbers since 2019 if you want to look at Durability of EVs regardless of country of manufacturer suggest you look at Nissan Leaf and Tesla as both have been in use for the past 14 years not in Thailand but other countries

Unlikely that ICE manufacturers will go bankrupt in the next 5 years simply they have more fingers in their pies EV slowdown they reduced the number of EV's coming off the production line and simply increase other production lines such as ICE including hybrid One trick EV manufacturers their choices are limited cut price or try and export but export doors are closing soon USA and EU key examples they don't have the option of reducing output as they have no alternative products to sell Toyota hikes annual profit forecast after Q3 beats expectations Hikes full-year profit forecast by about 9% to 4.9 trillion yen Toyota's Q3 operating profit surges almost 76% Shares close up 4.8% after the announcement https://www.reuters.com/business/autos-transportation/toyota-posts-76-jump-q3-operating-profit-2024-02-06/
