Not really a solution, but I use to rub it with powder - at least it removes the stikieness. We always have a lot of powder around, my wife puts it on the body, and then distributes it throughout the house :-(.

OMG I was looking for this one range 131km, price 1.1M. Well still they sold 2 or 3 in 2025. Maybe they said if Toyota can offer a pickup with under 300km range, we can do even better.

Yeah, the 63kWh version will not even make 300km range. But it's a positive sign that they reduce price. I like the steel rims of the econ instead of the alloys.

Should I buy a new 16kwhr battery?
That's a shame. Is there an app where you can see individual cell voltages? This would interest me the most when buying a battery pack.

Still a bit pricy for a 2 door pickup that Foton.

Fully agree, and the Riddara does not sell that well. Lets see how much Toyota can sell for 180% of the price and worse specs. And then the name... let me drive you in my Travelo omg

Maybe they do like Mercedes does in Europe. Take a Renault and put a Mercedes sticker on it, or put Renault Motors into the base line Mercedes cars. So why not putting a Toyota sticker on a BYD in Thailand, seems logic to me. It would probably be a better option than to buy a "real" Toyota electric prototype thing.

Welcome to my world. I know that you are also looking at the Riddara6, but something feels not right. I think it's the price. In their Riddara facebook group, they are celebrating every sale they make, but the people do not look very happy in the pictures. Now I have found the ideal car, but unfortunately this seems to be vaporware. Has anyone ever seen one or heard about it? from their website: ... enters the Thai market in its REEV PLUS AWD variant, priced at 1,099,000 baht. The DEEPAL HUNTER K50 is now available for booking, with deliveries scheduled to commence from 30 April 2025, blablabla, That feels like 1 year ago. Do they really exist in TH?

Sorry for my ignorance but you seem already a bit ahead with this stuff. Do you have to chose the DC voltage, or "could" you chose it on the charger display or in the car? I'm thinking if the cars have a DC/DC converter integrated which would work from 150V upwards, then the step to connect it to a solar array would not be that far. The only issue I see here is the variation when there are clouds passing then the array cannot provide the current the thing has negotiated in the beginning.

The 63kWh version for 900k can only drive about 300km in real life- not great, then the 73kWh version for 1M will bring you maybe 60km further. Compared to the newer suvs for 5-600 k the Riddara feels now a bit expensive, just a year after launch. With no service points outside of BKK, not sure how they would repair these. I was considering the Riddara, but now I'm thinking for that price, maybe better to buy 2x cheapo cars like the Jaecoo5. I just don't want a Neta V experience with a 1M car.

Is that the rebranded BYD or is it something really from Toyota? and then, what price, 2.5M LOL? Maybe the japanese are clever and wait a bit. They could buy some chinese manufacturers when these get into financial trouble, and get all the technology and workforce for cheap.

Outside looks cool like an older Camry. But the inside cannot compete.

Ground Fault ..... How?
The car charger measures the resistance between car and GND somehow. You will need to ground your charger somewhere anyway if you wanna charge your car.

Was I crazy to buy a Neta V now the company is going bust?
I wish you a lot of luck , but personally I have trouble following the logic: netaV II new 299k - buy a 2 year old one with potential problems and known quality problems from a bankrupt manufacturer for 219 k? the next guy: MG EP - new 469k - recommends to buy a 2 year old one for 350k? Over 300 netas sold in june 2025 after the headquarter closed and removed the company sign. Do westerners adapt to the thai thinking after several years in the country?

Oh no, don't do roof rack. I had one when we had babies and the diesel car would consume 20% more. It was cheaper to buy again the products you would put in the roof rack than paying for the extra diesel. And with electric it would also reduce the range.
