31% of Thais eye battery electric vehicles as next car choice
BenStark replied to snoop1130's topic in Thailand News
Cherry picking a single sentence out of a very lengthy review everyone can do. It wouldn't even surprise if Sanook was paid for the review, and the final sentence was their guarantee to get paid. With the many disadvantages, which they all summed up and probably still missed some, it begs a question how they still can call it value for money. Only for this I wouldn't want the car for free. Another symptom seen in NETA V is the moment when the car is close to a complete standstill. There will be a headache almost every time. Imagine that you are stepping on the brakes to slow down to a red light. As soon as the speed drops to 1-2 km/h, the electric motor cuts off the power stubbornly. causing head pains to go forward every time or even a sluggish discharge according to traffic congestion When the car is close to a complete stop, there will be headaches every time. which the symptoms that this is not very serious But when driving in the harsh traffic conditions every day It can create quite a bit of frustration. https://thailand.postsen.com/business/40554/Review-of-the-new-NETA-V-a-100--electric-car-worth-more-than-expected-at-a-price-of-549000-baht.html -

After your glorious comments I was ready to go buy such a Neta V, luckily i read a review first. Top speed 110 Km/h, that is not cruise speed, no it is TOP speed the car can do. And you will even not want to do that, because above 80 km/h the suspension shows some issues. If you have to slow down at a traffic light, and in the last few meters it switches to green, then you are in for a lot of pain, because the motor stalls. Not sometimes, no EVERY time. Manufacturer says 360 km with a full battery, though the test shows a bit different, and when battery is empty it takes EIGHT hours to fully charge again. My truck does double the km's and doesn't even take 8 minutes to fill up. So in short, a 1000 km trip to Phuket will take you 3 days, of which 16 hours only to charge. It's all in the test, have a look. https://thailand.postsen.com/business/40554/Review-of-the-new-NETA-V-a-100--electric-car-worth-more-than-expected-at-a-price-of-549000-baht.html Oh, and then we aren't done yet. Turns out the company sells the car with a loss, and not a small one. They lose 100.000 baht on each car produced. Wonder how that will work out in a few years, when the company has gone bankrupt, and you need warranty. https://pandaily.com/chinese-ev-firm-neta-auto-questioned-about-exaggerated-deliveries/ Now I don't know with the Neta V, but with a Tesla, simple spare parts that have nothing to do with the performance of the car, like for example a mirror or a trunk lid cost at least 4 times that of an ICE car. Reason also why insurance premium for electric cars in the US is easily double that of a same value ICE car. On second thought, I'll keep my truck -

Do you mean you got solar installed, and it was all free? -
It simply shows that their system doesn't work. Are we surprised? For the past few months there have been plenty of reports that reminders weren't sent out, including mine, and people who received a reminder weeks after they successfully completed the online 90 day report, including me. My guess is that as long as you haven't received the reminder, the system doesn't classify you as overdue, and you can still complete your report.

US debt ceiling: Will there be enough time to get a deal through?

What I don't understand is that, although the default is now almost a certain thing, the $ increases in value every day it comes closer. I would have expected the opposite -

It will be many years before they have recovered the extra they pay for the car in reduced fuel expenses. The same BS propaganda about my electricity is free because I have solar panels. Well yeah, as soon as they have recovered the cost of the installation after 10 years, and it all still works as promised.- 151 replies

Every prepared food item in Big C starts with the name Big, though the only thing big about it is the price for what you get. Oh yeah, and the package is big for the contents -

Key Chinese Ponzi scheme member arrested in Bangkok over cybercrime

150 BILLION baht? I think Thai maths at work again. Why isn't there any mention that an initial 75 BILLION baht already was recovered, it isn't an insignificant sum is it? -

Maybe you should consider a visit to top charoen, because from your link the most expensive is 3.65 pound, and the cheapest just 2 pound, for a WHOLE Quiché By the way, at Big C Xtra, 4 quiches, each the size of one slice as shown in your link, cost 220 baht Total weight of the 4 quiches is about 600 gram -
Public advised to protect themselves as COVID-19 cases surge

So keep those boosters coming mate, you just provided evidence how effective they are. Oh wait, soon some of the usual suspects will be here to claim you would probably be dead if didn't have 5 shots -
Yes that is what they "should" do. I once had a motorbike with red plate crash in the back of my car, and then do a runner. I had the number so went to report it. Police lady at the desk pretended not be able to check to who the plate belonged, but I heard her say Mityon to her colleague. So I went to Mityon myself, and they admitted that it was their plate, but unable to check to who they had given it. 1 month later I got a call from the police that they had "found" the owner, and was invited to the police station. There I met the young guy and his father, with the undamaged motorbike. Both bike and driver matched the description, but the father claimed that I made false report, and even attempted to assault me there and then on the parking of the police station

So I'm curious what the purpose of the 'lump' is

These talks, held over a meal, centred on the possibility of setting up a coalition government should Move Forward Party led by Pita Limjaroenrat, which won the most MP seats in the general election totalling 152, fail to do so, the rumours said. Translation: PT want to form their own government, without MF, which will include Anutin and Prawit, so that Thaksin get a free out of jail card
