that sentence says a lot about you! it seems strange to me that you criticize electric vehicles, but you admit that you don't have a clue about them yourself.

@muratremix if i'm not mistaken, i believe that one of the members in this discussion have purchased the byd dolphin extended. he can probably answer your question best ...

the thai politicians show no shame. they openly make promises and announce crackdowns, even though they know nothing will change. it would be great if all politicians will be forced to give a detailed report on their crackdowns every three months and take responsibility for the lack of results, resigning in case of non-fulfillment ... (also eg. "the every year crackdown on air pollution / illegal burning", etc) oh, that won't work, because that would likely lead to us having no politicians soon!

offering tesla or polestar as a rental car is mainly for an experienced ev owner. it seems like a poor business decision from hertz! a friend of mine had a reservation for a ice rental car europe. he arrived at the rental company too early for his car, they offered him a byd atto 3. despite having no prior experience with electric cars, he took the opportunity and drove the rental bev for five days. he enjoyed the experience and loved the car. his next car will be a bev for sure! he is open-minded (67y) and enjoys trying new things, not as some ev brasher on this forum ... (the ev brasher should really be more open-minded and go for a test drive with a bev ...)

byd seal performance vs xiaomi su7 max, exciting electric vehicle times ahead. however, i don't see xiaomi entering thailand anytime soon ... it is a nice looking car.

has a thai politician ever admitted to being involved in illegal activities or being corrupt? i don't think so ...

super charger at a shopping centre don't make sense for me ... super charger should be on the highway ... but maybe I miss something ...

thanks for the detailed information! have you asked the workshop after how many years the PPF needs to be replaced?

will it be enforced similarly to the burning ban? we all know how that turned out ... nothing happened!!!

byd does test the byd plus dm-i in australia ... this model is a phev car. is it possible that this car (rhd) will also enter the thai market? personally, i do prefer an ev car over a phev .... https://youtu.be/PSYCERnk_SM?si=pzsk7otgu4vhTQpA

polluted ... ?

some more questions: do you have a digital meter? if yes, and your system is sending power back to the grid, some member reports suggesting you have to pay PEA for each unit fedding (illegal) back! have you verified that your system is indeed feeding back to the grid? a disc meter is running backwards ... test it on sunny afternoons (turn off all appliances in the house) ... what was your consumption in units before installing solar? your current electric bill (with solar) indicates 621 units. the screenshot from your app shows 6.9 units generated power, x 30 days resultes about 200 units / months. that would sounds not too bad, if you may have 8 panels with only 350 max watt (and not 500 watt) = 2'800 watt max ... do you do not have any bill for the solar installation? with info's panel typ etc

it looks like polestar is doing some test driving (polestar 4) in thailand ... polestar belongs to the geely group (volvo, lotus, zeekr, polestar etc.) https://youtube.com/shorts/Tx73RSXAwkI?si=2IqVCCltAPVjFEhh https://youtu.be/_p1WXSlX-wc?si=eXH5qGjUu0x4Dua7

unfortunately, i had to deal with a narcissist in the past who controlled a relative of mine. it took a considerable amount of time and effort to "rescue" my female relative from that person. what i've learned is that having a reasonable conversation with a narcissist is nearly impossible... some of the anti-ev (and some anti-china) forum members remind me of this narcissist: "engaging in arguments with narcissists can be challenging due to their manipulation and deflection of blame, etc. typically, the narcissist doesn't consider the other person's point of view ..." the positive aspect is that after a while, some of these forum members have disappeared for good...

a faulty panel could be also one of many reasons, but it is clear that something is not right!

your statement also holds true for an electric car bought today, as eg. my electric vehicle will continue to meet my needs even 10 or more years from now. just like i drove my internal combustion engine cars for 10+ years, i will do the same with my electric vehicle, even with the expectation that the technology will significantly improve. electric cars may not be suitable for everyone, and it seems like you might be one of those individuals. that's fine; feel free to stick with your ice car, i for sure don't mind!

interesting, the price of the byd seal performance is still the same at 1'599'000 thb (www.reverautomotive.com) ... what do you think, does byd bring next few months / this year some new models into the thai market? eg. a crossover / suv more premium as the atto 3 would be nice ...

@jerrymahoney why do you think it will be only around 100 usd per year?

i believe different code such as 000 or 300 also implies a different reading ... but who knows the codes?

congratulations on the new car, well done! since when do you trust a car salesman, usually you are very critical of them ...

it would be a poor pricing strategy for byd to charge an additional 50k thb after customers have ordered a car in time to receive the full 150k thb incentive. however, i don't think they will implement such a policy!

https://youtu.be/C4nS_tSQiVQ @Bandersnatch thank you for sharing this interesting video. i think most of us are aware, electric cars are not perfect and probably never will be 100% perfect. but the good thing is, EV cars have a great potential, and the development is an ongoing process. i am confident that in the next 10 years, we will see significant progress. just look back at the past few years and see what has already happened in electric mobility ... more than 30 years ago, i bought my first Macintosh, and everyone said I was crazy ...

i am no longer surprised that many aseannow members celebrate the extrajudicial killings of drug smugglers. so, in your view, are those who killed the 15 people not following the law and considered good people or heroes? do you wish to meet these killers and congratulate them with a handshake, saying "well done"? it would be much better news if they caught everyone alive, prosecuted them heavily, and tried to find out who the drug lords are. there are most likely some influential thai people (possibly also police and army) involved. these individuals are still free and do not care when a few low-life drug smugglers have been killed ... nothing has been achieved with the extrajudicial killings of these smugglers ... maybe it is worth to think about that!

a thai person asked in the media: "does the price include one night's accommodation with breakfast in the cave?"

it might even be possible that the new landowner denies the houseowner any access to his "own house"! this is thailand, how knows ... it doesn't make sense to take this risk.
