Thats a fairly fluid bunch of timeline points you’ve got there. I doubt there’s a perfect time to buy anything hightech. They say the best time to plant a tree is 20 years ago, I’d suggest the best time to buy an ev is today… Should your personal “nirvana point” ever eventuate you could trade up at that point. That said I’m sure any new car will be a better vehicle in 2028 compared to 2024.

Because you stated 2028 like it was a significant date, when it would appear random and unrelated to anything other than your personal financial timeline maybe… ?

Why 2028 ? why not 2026 or 2039 ?

I’m someone who feels you’re anti ev but then occasionally you make a post like this and I think there’s a balanced thinker in there somewhere… If 10% of the ice disappeared tomorrow to be replaced by ev’s at the least the air in the city would be cleaner. If they were all solar/renewable charged then greenhouse emissions would be reduced going forward. The overall “green cost/emissions is a longer term equation but so is the ice vehicle with higher day to day emissions.

@Encid Hows life ? Anymore updates for us ? Pics ?

You fail to understand your hypocrisy ? 🤣

Yeah, every 3 months or 5000km… 🤣 You talk in here of self righteous ev drivers trying to justify their choices and pushing their opinions to make themselves feel better, then when someone gets undercharged for some grapes, the seek the correct charge and you reply thus: Advanced Member 22k Gender:Male Location:Chiang Rai and a village Posted 12 hours ago I would point out a pricing mistake irrespective of whether it is in my favor, or vice versa. I don't buy grapes, loaded with sugar. Do you feel better after pushing your un-asked agenda ? Go away and dream up an new hypothetical for not owning a car that is silent and doesn’t stink.

I’d have thought a vehicle that essentially doesn’t need servicing would be a winner, but that’s just me…

Ohh yeah… well he’d be screwed if he didn’t carry 3000 baht in cash with him !

I assumed that topping another vehicle was possible, I guess the haters will just need to dream up another hypothetical now…

Very much confirming that you are indeed a man of some stature and bearing. Was it Freddie Trueman who said that a gentleman was one who got out of the bath to have a piiss ?

If I remember correctly xylophone and village farang were catwalk types back in their days, Owl too it seems… 🤣😎

I recon the confused old fool is talking about mayonnaise…

I’ll check with the Concretor tomorrow… 😎

Do you go to your local church to tell them they’re all wrong ? Communist countries ? Democratic countries ? How about congregations of left handed people ? Let the early adopters be, I say

You’ve likely still got the option of sourcing a nonChinese produced ev.

You are correct about the snake, I assumed that the Blue Ringed Octopus was similar but from the Thaiger article it states …”The venom of the blue-ringed octopus is called Tetrodotoxin, similar to that of pufferfish. It can be found in the saliva, beak, tentacles, intestine, and ink sacs and directly affects the nervous system, leading to paralysis, respiratory failure, and potentially death.”

Sigh… In general the majority of the 2200km in the NT a 130kmh speed limit applies. For the rest of the country most of the highways are back to 100/110kmh. You can do your own maths from here. He drove the same trip a couple of years ago and it took him 14 days, incredibly ev infrastructure has improved 😳 It’s almost like infrastructure is following the uptake of the vehicles.

Not at all, I’ve eaten Eastern Brown Snake, one of the worlds most venomous. Definitely wouldn’t want to be bitten by one though.

🤣

I wasn’t aware it was poisonous, I had always been told it was venomous.

No. That would be your comprehension skills. The point is he drove 13,000km in 10 days, so much for range anxiety… His comments that you quoted were in relation to doing the same trip quicker than 10 days.

If I had the infrastructure I’d be doing the same.

Recently upgraded my mobi and it was a bit of a pain in the arsk. One banks settings (transfer limits, notifications Face ID etc) all reset themselves to NOT what I wanted, the other kept them but the registration of the new device was painful. I understand that they detect that I’m logging in on a new device and want to verify that I’m me, but they should be doing that without deleting all my settings and preferences.

Here in rural Darwin our power supply is fairly dodgy by western standards. A couple of times each wet season we’ll lose power for an hour or two, after a cyclone 5 years ago it was out for 3 days in my neighborhood and a mate was in the dark for a week.
