Surprised no reaction from BYD owners on this forum
KhunLA replied to stratocaster's topic in Thailand Motor Discussion
MG ZS .. don't know if that's a buffer or what. Might be reserve car needs to operate or probably so you can't be an idiot and kill the battery -
What city in Thailand has the best weather?

More ignorance, as the MG dealers have been stellar, the past 4 yrs since owning. Much better than Toyota, Mitsubishi & Mazda IMHO

KhunLA replied to stratocaster's topic in Thailand Motor Discussion
You buy a depreciating product ... it depreciates, especially when better & cheaper is available. Look at all the electronic, the past 20 ish years, how silly priced they seem now, when we bought them at entry market prices. People want a free market, well, now you have it. No longer controlled by the legacy auto maker. It's great for the consumer, considering the performance machines you can have now for the entry level cars from JP. ICEVs won't be around much longer ... so how can you sell them in the future. The ignorance won't last for ever, and people won't be buying 2nd hand ICEVs. Our BEV will surely outlast me (~70 yrs old), and probably the wife, and she's only 48. AND .. we get to save 30-40-50k baht a year, by not needing to buy petrol. Times that by 20 years, and the BEV, just paid for itself, and if & when ready to upgrade, the battery pack gets added to the solar. -

Not the companies, 3rd party testing, And those are conservative estimates. These based on 2500 cycles, when others state they may get up to 10k cycles. Surely will outlast the rest of the vehicle. Then get to repurpose it to your solar system ... 😎 source source- 145 replies

FAW TOYOTA product for China Only (for now)

Autos are a depreciating liability ... period. Paying cash is best, for that reason, or, if financing way below inflation rate. Some dealers/banks offering 1-2%, so pretty hard not to finance, if not wanting to touch savings.

Harris Lies, Americans Die. Illegal Aliens are more Important
KhunLA replied to Yagoda's topic in Political Soapbox
If you want to tax more fairly, get rid of all the deduction/allowances, along with subsidies, all markets, all industries, and simply have flat tax. Flat tax of 15-20-25%. That would be fair. Because someone has the desire to make more, they shouldn't be penalized with higher taxes. That's just stupid. Half pays less that <15% tax, many, no income tax at all or an average of 3.3%. And I've been hit with 37% income tax, and that's just 'federal'. That's not a fair tax code... that's BS source -
"but there was no evidence of thermal runaway from the Li-ion battery." Contradicts the whole theory that the EV was the cause of the fire. Not stating it was or wasn't ... BUT ... if our car got submerged, then it's a good chance it might turn up stolen or totaled by fire. Much better insurance pay out ... no questions asked 🙄

I think it is 4 yrs / 120k kms now. Was 5 yrs when we got our, then they dropped to 4, then back to 5, and now I think back to 4 yrs. @Yodarapper edit: thought it was 5, almost positive. But just read promo dated Mar 2022, stating 4 yrs, although we bought ours late April, and BYD Atto3 had arrived, So they might have up'd it to 5 yrs.

No need to PM as easy to answer ... 1. We've been as far south as Betong, Yala, north to CM, and east to Trat & wee bit beyond, and never a problem charging. 2. We have a wall charging cable, provided free & installed by MG subcontractor, and we rarely use. The granny/emergency charging cable (photo'd above) that also comes with the car is more than adequate, for most of our charging. 3. You shouldn't have a problem selling it, though price may not be exactly what you want. Still early to tell how that market will be the next couple years. I suspect better than now, as their price war is keeping new prices down. If the govt incentives expire in a couple years, then you get a very nice price. Download this app on Google Play, (Charge Loma) maybe Apple, and will give you a ball park idea of CS (Charging Stations) country wide, or peak at this thread. No shortage of.

@georgegeorgia You really need to go see the world's largest 7-11 ... I hear it's spectacular Grab a couple coffees, H&C toasties & Danish. Take it all in, smell the coffee, and if bored, go to the med sites on your phone, and search 'diseases' That should keep you busy for the rest of you visit. As you'll be visiting ever specialist you can find. Think of all the new threads you could start on AN ...

What's behind the current THB strength?
KhunLA replied to KhunBENQ's topic in Jobs, Economy, Banking, Business, Investments
Remember folks, it's always just a temporary 10-15% fluctuation. Bring in what you can when it's high, enough to hold you over when it's low. Idle money does nothing, so if and when, invest some in proven returns more than the crap interest any bank would offer. Or simply spend it, as it's worth less tomorrow with inflation of late. Bank gives you 1-3-5%, if lucky, and inflation runs at 10% a year. Yea ... spend, enjoy living, 'STOP SPINNIN' -
Egg noodles or wheat flour fettuccini / linguini pasta ? I'm off most wheat flour, almost, and lean toward egg or veggie/egg noodles. Added protein helps cut the carb load.

10 day brine might be a bit much ... 5 - 7 days recommended here:

Agree, and it doesn't help consumers when CP has a bit of a monopoly on the food supply. Even their buying power of bulk orders, still charge silly prices. Our local baking supply shop is 10-25-40% cheaper, non bulk buying power and brick & mortar overhead. LAZ less overhead, but really undercut the chains by huge % s 👍
