I posted this before but I saw a similar Atto 3. Same location as yours. I guess it's a Thonglor thing.

As I said "luxury" diesels have a lot of sound deadening. The engine is still noisy and rattly though - you can't get away from that with a diesel, you just have tons of sound deadening material. So you'd happily sit behind the exhaust pipes would you?

Yes, I know what a Touareg is and where it comes from. Any diesel is smelly. Any one, no matter how expensive or well made it may be. Would you happily sit behind the exhaust pipe of one? They are all smelly and dirty, it is just a fact. Any diesel is more rattly than a petrol or BEV counterpart, it is not debatable. I haven't driven a Touareg, but I have driven other "luxury" diesels and they all are noisy rattly and smelly. I have been in diesel S Class Mercs and 7 Series BMWs (as a passenger). and guess what: noisy rattly and dirty, albeit less so than a 700k Isuzu. Are you really trying to say diesels are more refined than BEVs or petrol cars? Be serious, please.

Oh my, this is getting dull. Where did I say all diesels are farm vehicles? You said: And then, YOU SAID: And my reply was No, but it will feel like you're driving a rattly old farm vehicle, which your 489,000 baht Isuzu truck is. Rattly, noisy, smelly, farm vehicle. Then you started wibbling on about $100k Touaregs. At least follow your own comments, surely that isn't hard. Oh, and for the record, while a $100k diesel Touareg has a lot of sound deadening and is reasonably refined (for a diesel), compared to a petrol equivalent - or especially a BEV - it is still noisy and rattly, and most certainly smelly. I've told this before but I put down a deposit on a C250 Merc when this latest shape came out a few years ago but before delivery they called and said sorry, they are not importing the C250 anymore and are only selling diesels but they would give me a C300 at no extra cost. I said I wasn't interested in a diesel but they asked me to try one as they are luxurious, refined and quiet. I tried it with an open mind. it was noisy, rattly and smelly and I cancelled my order and bought something else instead. If a BEV is not suitable for someone, that is fine. But to argue that a diesel - any diesel - is not noisier, rattlier or smellier than a petrol or BEV equivalent then you are just a joke. Diesels are disgusting in every way.

You want to leave your engine running all night just so you can have aircon? Seriously??

Sorry weren't we discussing 700k THB three year old diesel trucks? Yet you have now brought in a $90-125k "luxury" SUV. Shifting the goalposts much? Honestly, what has the Touareg got to do with what we were talking about? Absolutely nothing.

No, you'll feel like you're driving a noisy, smelly, nasty farm vehicle.

Too late to edit my answer, but @Cameroni why do you think they have petrol stations on the Nordschleife? Not sure if you know what this race track is, how long it is, how hilly it is, or how brutal it is for all kinds of vehicles. More than 300m of elevation gain around the circuit. 170+ corners.

"Real life testing" is driving flat out around the Nurburgring?? Really?? Again you are talking rubbish. A Nissan GT-R uses almost half a tank on a flying lap. (Same as the Tesla used almost half its battery). A BMW 135i uses about a quarter of a tank on a lap, as does a Subaru Impreza WRX STi. I have no comment on the Tesla's brakes - maybe they are not very good.

Have you seen his birth certifictate then? Where was he born? Is he not a US citizen? What inside info do you have?

Stupid post. And disrespectful to the people who risked their lives trying to recue them in difficult circumstances. Where do you people get off?

Yawn.

And what if they do? You don't have to contribute.

He said he was driving his sick wife to hospital. Didn't seem in too much of a hurry if you ask me.

And Ronnie Pickering.

What?????

In nearly all these news reports it is NMC batteries. In Korea it was a Merc EQE and a Kia V6, both have NMC batteries. I definitely wouldn't buy an NMC powered EV (not only for that reason). LFP just seems so much less volatile.

Your ignorance is astounding. Do you actually live in Thailand? I suspect not. EV sales as a percentage of the car market are increasing month on month. Thailand's charging infrastructure is very well established and extensive. Drive around Bangkok and there are EVs everywhere, literally everywhere. Several in my soi alone. You literally have no idea what you are talking about at all. Edit: I honestly don't get it. What gets people so riled up about a propulsion method that they resort to just making stuff up? I really don't understand. Maybe Mr Cameroni can explain? Maybe he doesn't have eyes, maybe he is intoxicated by diesel fumes? Maybe he just worships the orange man. Which one is it? Maybe a combination of all three? The orange man said they need to stop for recharging every 15 minutes. He also said if an electric boat sinks everyone gets electrocuted. You probably believe him.

100%. A big red flag and very very obvious. I have done many many UK visas for girlfriend and then wife. No money in her account. You just need to be honest.

I was about to post the same thing. I think it is the former.

Absolute nonsense. If you are in custody and then sentenced that is it, you're done. Sorry if that spoils your fantasy.

How are your cherries doing? All sales are down, ICE and EV. From your link: However, the order for all-electric VW vehicles increased by 124% in West Europe. This increase suggests that more Europeans are transitioning to electric vehicles. You really should read the whole article before you post the link, it would stop you looking silly. And from your second link "luxury" EV sales are down from the legacy auto makers, because they are overpriced rubbish. The general consensus is that there is a demand for more affordable EVs, which automakers are striving to launch. Nearly all major automakers in the EV market have unveiled plans for affordable electric vehicles starting around $25,000. Tesla has the Model 2 or Model Q EV coming out, which has yet to be unveiled. Earlier this year, Volkswagen shared plans for a new EV under €25,000. However, it will still take some time before affordable EVs hit the road. A few legacy automakers have turned to hybrids to boost sales until they launch more affordable electric vehicles. Now in EOW and transam style, here are some childish emojis. 🍒🍒🍒🍒 Haven't seen the old troll for a while, did he finally get banned?

Ok. I don't have to pay my wife a salary or her family, I don't have to "reduce the payments" if I am not happy with how they are being spent. But up to you. If you can't get a wife without paying her cash then the only incel is a lot closer to home. As I said, what a life some people here lead, wow. Next!

Seriously give it a rest. This is a very unusual collapse in Thailand, the rescue teams are doing their best and have brought in as much specialist equipment and people as they can at short notice. hundreds of people are doing their best but all you can do is snipe, it is pathetic and disrespectful. Ever thought the fans are turned off as well as other equipment so they can listen for signs of life? It is on in all the other pictures. I am sure that is standard practise every so often to have silent moments to iisten for signs of life. Maybe the people there are trained, maybe they are volunteers and untrained, but it seems to me they are using the best equipment available, radar, signs of life scanners, dogs, etc. All you can do is make snide comments. Why not get in there and volunteer if you know better than the people who are putting their lives at risk to try and rescue people? Or you just prefer to do your rescue from your keyboard? Honestly I hate people like you who belittle people who are putting their lives at risk and trying their best. All from behind the safety of your keyboard. All you have done throughout this entire thread is belittle, snipe, put heroic people down, and it is sad sad sad. You are not there, you are not doing anything. Give it a rest.

Sounds like you have an amazing relationship with your wife / girlfriend. What a life some people here lead, wow.
