    Any retired expat who remains in Thailand for more than a cumulative 179 days each calendar year is considered to be tax resident here whether they like it or not. This is mot a matter of choice whether to be tac resident or not, if you remain here you are.

    No they are not.  Where in the visa regulations do you find this?

    you claim to be a physicist, so you must have an advanced degree, so I shouldn’t have to explain to you what a citation is, so how come you’ve forgotten how to use them? 
     

    “some reports suggest for Chinese produced cars, somewhere between 6 to 10 years”

    But you can’t name them so clearly you just made that up.

     

    My BYD came with an 8yr 160,000km warranty after which it’s guaranteed to have at least 80% of it’s original capacity. In my case over 400km of range.

    “after 2 years or so,  any 'run of the mill'  EV will have no resale value”

     

    Fact checked and it turns out to bs

     

    Well we will see won't we.

    It's true. All the Chinese companies are doing it. 

    Check the numbers.  In 2023 China sold circa 39 million EVs World Wide. If they keep up this rate of growth, possible, maybe,  in the average 8 year span life of most EV batteries, think of how many customers will be looking for them to replace the key component.  You either end up with a massive supply problem on lithium (lots of other technologies have a call on the chemicals, not least mobile devices and aircraft, civil and military), or the whole thing comes to a grinding halt. Lot's of EVS parked up with nowhere to go. However you cut it, the economics of EVs just doesn't add up.

    Without clicking on the link I know immediately which openly anti China, Falungong backed, lie spreading YoTube channel this will be from (their videos have been fact checked and debunked on here many times).

    PS It's the same channel that posted an ICE fire and called it a Chinese EV fire and that showed a stunt car explosion from a movie set and said it was a Chinese EV spontaneously exploding as it was being charged.

    But there are always goons to swallow their lies and repost them without checking anything at all. Ah, hello.

    There are more lies, misinformation, twisted truths, distortion, misdirection, pure unbelievable nonsense, that comes out of China, from China, than ever goes the other way.  If that lot swallowed a nail they would sxxt a corkscrew.
