  1. and for the people who accepted loans at 9.31% per day, it should be: back to school to learn how to calculate and learn to use their brains ...
  2. is this the official result of the investigation? or as so often in the past, bev's are blamed first just because these cars happened to be on board ... i asked google: - fires on ships do happen... but the majority are caused by conventional fuels (oil, diesel, gasoline), not ev batteries ... - studies and insurance data show that evs are not more likely to catch fire than regular cars; in fact, statistics often suggest they are less likely. - on ships, the risk is more about how all vehicles (ev or not) are stored and monitored in a confined space. lithium batteries require extra safety measures, but so do fuel tanks full of gasoline or diesel ... - some media headlines exaggerate ev involvement in ship fires, even when investigations show the cause was uncertain or unrelated. so: ev's are not the main cause of ship fires. they are a new type of risk that shipping companies are learning to handle, but the biggest fire hazards at sea are still oil, fuel, and cargo in general.
  3. first, they introduced the new tax law not because of us foreigners living here. second, the "missing" approximately 2 trillion baht that was not transferred from abroad into thailand is also not because manly of us retired foreigners ... we foreigners who retire here sometimes think we are more important than we actually are ...
  4. i suspect he is waiting for the right moment to act on his threats, and i can easily imagine him revealing quite a few secrets ... has no one in thailand ever questioned how yingluck managed to illegally flee the country via cambodia to avoid a possible conviction? it is almost certain this was arranged by teflon toni together with his former friend hun sen. in a true democratic constitutional state, toni would also have to be held accountable for this as well ... but as we all know, thailand is a lot but far from being a democratic constitutional state ...
  5. it seems he is not exactly the brightest. with this action, his holiday in thailand is probably over ...
  6. since april i have driven about 5000 km and have only charged my BEV sealion 7 at home. plug in takes 1 minute, plug out takes 1 minute ... simply easy peasy and about 4 times cheaper than my old ICE .... i regularly do round trips of about 450 km without charging, then just plug in at home again and it’s enough for an other week or so of driving around ... agian easy peasy ... in the past, with my ICE, i had to refuel at a gas station during road trips, after that find a parking spot, use the toilet, and get a coffee! today, with my BEV on a road trip, i charge the car, use the toilet, get a coffee, and 15 minutes later i’m on my way again. most drivers, like me, lose no extra time when charging their car ... there are still some EV opponents who desperately try to find convincing arguments to talk down E-mobility. BEV are not perfect and not suitable for everyone ... and that’s perfectly fine for us BEV owner ... wishing everyone a safe drive!
  7. some will say that's the right decision, others will say that's a bold move, but i would say it's resignation because they can't compete with china's electric cars ...
  8. no, ev's haven't 'sunk' any ships ... that’s a myth. while there have been fires on ships involving vehicles, the data shows that internal combustion engine (ice) cars cause more fires during transport than ev's ... or can you provide evidence with reliable sources to support your claim that a few ships have been sunk by ev's? blaming ev's for sinking ships is like blaming smartphones for plane crashes just because there was one on board ... 555
  9. isn't it sad that so many uninformed people feel the need to spread lies and outdated myths about evs, thinking they actually sound smart doing it? wouldn't it be easier and smarter to just learn a few basic facts first about ev's, instead of making a complete fool of yourself in this forum? maybe that's too much to ask for some people, isn't it?
  10. evs aren't scams ... by now, most people understand that they're simply new and still-evolving technologies. if you don't like them, that's fine ... but calling everyone crazy for using them says more about you than it does about the tech ...
  11. i've done 10,000 km with my sealion 7 awd and never had any of those problems … even though i regularly do day trips of over 450 km and have taken multi-day road trips to remote areas in isaan... my tip: if you don't know the exact consumption of your new car, or if your destination or stopover has limited or unknown charging infrastructure, try to find a charging station when your battery is down to 20–30% ... a quick 15-minute toilet break is often enough to solve all your problems ... drive safe ...
  12. ... in thailand, too many foreigners don't follow the existing (tax) laws and regulations, but we should remember that we are only guests here ... if immigrants or foreign tax residents in your own home country found ways to avoid paying taxes or ignored the laws, most people (including you?) wouldn’t accept it. so why should it be different when foreigners do the same here in thailand? don’t use excuses like “you can’t compare the two” ... laws should be respected, especially when you're a guest in someone else's country ... i know many foreigners believe they can do whatever they want in thailand and ignore the rules, law and regulations, just like some locals do. what’s interesting is that these same foreigners often think they’re smarter and better than the locals, but behave the same because it seems they are not smarter or better than locals ...
  13. as the saying goes, "hope dies last" … i still hope that this family will finally be brought down for good … the shinawatras have had their (corrupt and criminal) time ...
  14. owners of electric vehicles, all of whom have driven internal combustion engine (ICE) cars for years, share their knowledge and first-hand experience about the benefits of driving an electric vehicle in daily life on this forum ... we BEV (battery electric vehicle) owners try to counter rumors, myths, and misinformation about electromobility with facts. electric cars are not for everyone, especially not for those who feel the need to defend their fixed opinions with sometimes outrageous arguments. electric vehicles are not perfect, but in many ways, BEV's are superior to ICE cars ... i don't know a single electric vehicle owner who has a problem with others choosing to drive ICE cars ... it's just another baseless claim from an anti-ev person!
  15. Thai Monks in Scandal: Calls for Reform and Accountability please include all politicians, the entire police, and the army ... the whole lying and corrupt gang ... cheating and lying is not just a monk’s habit. ...
