  1. some experienced electric vehicle owners have already explained to you several times that there's hardly a reason for a homeowner in a rural (as you described yourself) area not to own an ev. listing some of the negative points, as you did, makes you appear rather ludicrous. it also indicates that you haven't approached electromobility in a serious manner ... but ev cars aren't for everyone! and certainly not for people who aren't open to receiving arguments from experienced ev users ...
  2. the car has 2 driver seat memory settings, but as far as I know, it does not have driver mode setting memory, e.g., for temperature, air conditioning, radio, drive mode, regen mode, steering weel settings etc..
  3. thank you for sharing the video. there aren't many negative points to find for the byd seal! i would like having one pedal drive and driver setting memories. perhaps this could be add in the future through an over-the-air (OTA) update ...
  4. yes, UK is going wild... btw: UK is not a good example for nearly anything, except maybe in football ...
  5. i am convinced that every electric car user is aware that the car also has some disadvantages. in any case, i have not found anyone who only speaks positively about BEV's. you imply that BEV owners want not acknowledge this and ev owners are blind ... criticism is good and welcome, but if possible, it should be supported by facts!
  6. Are you liable for debt even if your now back in your home country ? Cheers "Are you liable for debt even if your now back in your home country ?" of couse you are, it does not matter where you are! if the debt comes from a loan shark, you will be held responsible married or not married, and for sure they will also wait till you back to thailand ...
  7. Help is help however it comes. you're correct! in my opinion, a better approach would be to implement a price reduction solely for individuals who consume less than 150 units per month. i think this reduction should not be extended to the middle class, rich people or businesses, as they not need such financial assistance.
  8. is it not the industry and large consumers who benefit the most from the reduced electricity prices? the poor people might pay 50 to 100 baht less, which doesn't help the poor much ... i think, the poor people in the country need real support, not the middle class and the wealthy one! or am i mistaken in this view?
  9. is there no memory setting on the seal for different drivers?
  10. "Car PPF, or Paint Protection Film, is a transparent and thin layer of film applied to the exterior of a vehicle to protect its paint from stone chips, bug splatter, bird droppings, road tar, and other potential damages. PPF is often made of polyurethane or a similar material that is resistant to abrasions and impacts. The primary purpose of PPF is to provide an additional layer of defense for a vehicle's paint, helping maintain its appearance and resale value over time. It can be self-healing to a certain extent, meaning minor scratches and swirl marks can disappear with exposure to heat."
  11. i know how that feels like! eg. when i ask (in thai) a shop staff about the price of an item, i often receive the unhelpful response "it's not expensive" ...
  12. the offer in buriram appears quite promising. the cost being under 30k surprises me. however, be aware that paint protection film (PPF) can vary in terms of quality, lifespan, and guarantees. it seems like there's more homework to do ...
  13. i'm considering using PPF due to stone chips, minor scratches, tree resin, etc. but choosing the right material / product (e.g. 3M) and finding a quality workshop in my area is a different matter. ceramic coating is not really an option for me ...
  14. @vinny41 waht car are you driving?
  15. many electric vehicle (EV) owners drive their vehicles extensively. but you think it is a terrible idea, did you ask one of this owner? who informed you that EVs are only worth 10% after 8 years? perhaps you are one of those people who claim that the battery needs to be replaced after 8 years, are you?
  16. it seems that the UK having a lot of problems that other (eg. european) countries don't have! poor UK, EV's worsening the "pothole cricis"
  17. people with no knowledge about electric vehicles keep coming up with new arguments against them. is it really too much to ask for them to inform themselves seriously instead of just making baseless claims?
  18. after only 30 min, the housing (in the seeling) was already 60 grad celsius ...
  19. i want to replace existing downlights (e27 led) in my suspended ceiling (with staycool 6 inch). during a brief test, i noticed that the housing (which will be in the ceiling) gets extremely hot. is this normal, are there alternatives? do other brands (eg phillips) have the same issue? thanks, motdaeng
  20. i saw the car in space grey, but only in the showroom and not in daylight. it looks really great! the byd seal (in space grey) is at the top of my list. the car's price-performance ratio is hard to beat. but for now, i will wait with an order, it seems that several new bev will be arriving in the thai market in the next few months ...
  21. you mean the "seek and hide" game in a VIP hospital ....
  22. avoid the north !!! https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2023/4/12/how-chiang-mai-became-the-worlds-most-polluted-city
  23. the finance business is making a nice profit! i know some people (including foreigners) who think it's a good deal to pay only 1.88%. in this example it's around 3.65% because you reduce your debt every month, but you still have to pay every (48) months the 1.88% interest on the initial debt!
