Many folks here use abbreviations quite often. PKK gets used a bit, especially by me. Along with CM, HH, BKK/KT. Especially if topic or someone talking about a certain region. ... north; CM, CR ... southern way; PKK, KS, KT, ST, NST, PP ... northeast; NK, UT, KK, Ubon, Udon, Korat

OK, point taken ... THANKS BUT ... didn't the biden/harris administration just do the same thing she is complaining about what trump tariffs will do. Basically just priced BEVs, batteries, and solar systems out of the consumer's grasp, as if they could afford them anyway. By new tariffs on better & affordable EV & components for both USA EVs & solar systems from China. Which are already silly priced. Keeping utility cost high for all industries & transportation, basically increasing the consumer prices across the board. Remaining dependent on the already conglomerate monopolies that have windfall profits at the expense of consumers. Dependence on a failed, overpriced auto industry, utility companies & big oil's monopoly on transportation options. Using myself as an example, here in TH, we have a Chinese BEV and solar system at a reasonable price saves me 1000's of TBH / 100's of USD every month. Shame the Yanks don't have the same luxury of choice. So much for freedom or a 'free market'. Now even further away for Yank, Thanks biden / harris, well done

Guess it depends who you talk to. You apparent didn't understand, or more likely ignored what I stated. I didn't say anything about it being or not being an EV. But hey, you just make it up along the way. Whatever fits your spin My personal opinion, if the car can't go 60+ kms on the battery, any battery, then I wouldn't call it an EV. HEV, where the ICE keeps a battery charged just enough to power an electric motor, is all a bit silly to me. Not an EV in my opinion. Not even seeing the practicality of PHEV, unless you live some where's you can't charge on the road. The redundancy is silly, expensive, and prone to more break downs or maintenance issues.

Just read a couple summaries of the debate, and pretty much what I expected. Only surprise, first one, not really, Harris offering tax credit (vote buying), then a big surprise, suggests a 'national sales tax' What are you nuts, as that's not going to win any votes. More taxes ... not the way to go The rest went as expected, he says, she says, I did this, you did that. It's your fault, no it's your fault. Both, themselves, being their worst enemy. The lesser of two evils politics ... just sad. No winners here, and as always, USA citizens are the losers, in every sense of the word.

Can't help there. Wife's friend owns a freight forwarding company at Krung Thep. Good Luck. Curious, what V & size - Ah is the battery, and brand. Does it have a proprietary connector ?

Could ship the battery separate, via air cargo. Might, probably will require a HAZMAT declaration & approval. Haven't a clue who would do that, though guessing any air freight agent near the airport could inform what's needed. Where are you located ? If Krung Thep, then I might be able to find out the info for you, I think.

Two thoughts ... ... I can explain it to you, but I can't make you understand it ... if you had to ask ... nuff said

I wouldn't think there are too many, if any, of those 599k baht ZSs left. Best value out there if looking for small family SUV ... IM bias HO

Not in my nature. I live with my choices, she'll live with hers. Don't have, as when she speaks in public, well, nuff said. Reading comprehension, as if Trump fumbled, then it's going exactly as I wish. 2024 ... HARRIS ... 2024 You say elected, but really, pres is appointed by EC, and I think we all know who controls them ... and it's not the citizens of the USA. From my quoted post, you missed ... "I know which one I would want to represent me .... but ... I also know which one I hope gets appointed. And they definitely aren't the same person."

Quite the opposite, and I'm pretty sure it went just as I would have expected.

ES even a better promo than EP. NO promo for the ZS, but an all new low price. Now 829k, which used to be the promo price, vs 869k and original MSRP 949k. Another van option, better priced than Maxus 9 @ 2.49M MG3 back, as a hybrid. If having nice suspension, would be fun to zip around town in. 0-100 kph @ 8 secs. Not a PHEV though.

Didn't watch it at all, and no plan to, especially if on a MSM moderated platform. What's the point, as bias right from the start. I can see plenty of vids of him talking policy, and his past experience of being president vs her vids of word salads. I know which one I would want to represent me .... but ... I also know which one I hope gets appointed. And they definitely aren't the same person.

No no no, I need a chuckle now and then, especially for non Yank political experts.

Thanks for pointing that out, as nobody would have figured that out. Anyone following my political interest, should realize by now, I have not, and don't even vote.

So this thread started 1 hr ago, and debate not even close to over, but has Harris winning, or has Trump against the ropes Classic leftist reporting If the debate ran 90 minutes, than it was over only 30 mins ago.

There was a debate ... Oh yea, today is the 11th. I am so tuned into USA politics Assuming from the first sentence of the OP, this will be just another Trump bashing thread. ENJOY

Depends on one's age. I didn't want to miss out on the savings, and now realize, after owning, I would have definitely missed out on performance, when needed, or not 😁 At 67, knocking on 68 yrs old, when purchased, shy of 2 yrs ago, didn't want to wait much longer. Especially since they upgraded nicely since first arriving to TH, along govt actually paying me 240k to buy one. Pretty hard to say no to that at the time. And already had solar system on order. Win win all around, since not only avoiding the cost of petrol, don't even have to pay for the electrons Fast charging only an issue when away from home, which most aren't, so non issue for most. Balance against the weekly top up of an ICEV, I'm way ahead on spending time at 'top up' stations. Since I'm there anyway, for a stretch, dog walk, P and a munch, it really doesn't add much, if any to out stops when O&A. Not for everyone of course, but fits perfectly into our lifestyle.

Yep ... why they are so competitively priced, and other makers have to price drop to be competitive. When you make the most expensive component of your product, and the rest, most, have to buy from you or CATL (50% of market), it definitely gives you a pricing edge. When the battery sales is you main income flow, you can sell BEVs at cost if really wanting to, and still be profitable. source

Hit & miss with common interests. Wife #2 gave me $2k to assist rehab first house before we were married or living together. The same day, my buddy was upgrading motorcycle, so I bought his at the dealer offered price. Really couldn't pass it up, damn bargain of the century. Yea, she was pissed, "you know, I didn't give you the money to buy a F'g MC" .... but every weekend, she wanted to go somewhere on it She got over it quite fast. Another GF with no experience, loved going to the gun range with, and was quite good. Best of course were the like minded sex freaks, and everyone's favorite hobby. Can't beat friends w/bennies when you're just chilling, and they call to make sure you don't have any company already, and want to pop over to get their freak on. Present wife has caught the wildlife photography bug. A good thing, as spots birds usually better than me. Along with enjoys going O&A, just for the hell of it, to sit somewhere different with a different view. So been lucky myself.

Got to love the fake news. Not a BEV, but a hybrid. Interesting ... what you never see in vids of this incident, the car self extinguishes the fire, within 25 secs. Car doesn't seem to be going that fast, but it does leave the ground.

That's what happens when there is almost a monopoly on the food supply, and prices are raised to the point, restaurants have to raise their prices enough to make a profit, but the customer can no longer afford to dine out. At least as much as they use to. Hard enough for some to eat at home, at the same level as a year or 3 ago. I see 5-10-20% price increases every week, every month, almost across the board. And that's just for whole, raw foods for home cooking, not ever the processed stuff. All the basics up, petrol up, electric up ... salaries, not so much.

Geez ... 3rd floor, what was he thinking, so small nobody would notice
