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.

it appears that a deal was struck: thaksin receives a reduced "pretend to be sick and stay at the hospital" arrangement in exchange for all generals and politicians involved in wrongdoing getting away with it ... win win situation for all of them! just as a reminder: thaksin also wasn't one single day in a prison cell! thaksin and the generals are the same ... no shame for betraying the normal people!

unfortunately it seems to be the case, because they silently accept that the law is different for some people ...

i haven't purchased a bev yet, so I am not allowed to vote however, my vote would go to the byd seal performance! i will wait a few more months, hoping that some new bev cars will enter the thai market next year, such as the byd sea lion or byd song l, danza n7, avatr 11, 12, ...

ubon ratchathani experiences relatively good or acceptable air quality for approximately six months. the air quality in the far east might be somewhat better than in the north, but it remains far from being consistently good throughout most of the year ...

thailand needs to address illegal burning within its borders before pointing fingers at other countries. however, it is evident that thailand is unable to effectively halt these illegal burning activities ... just look back the last few years ... it got worse!

yesterday, i had the opportunity to take a closer look at the ora 07 performance. inside and outside, the quality and materials are quite good. but the byd seal feels more luxurious. there wouldn't be much for me to consider regarding which car i prefer, it would be the byd seal any time ... in my opinion, the ora 07 is also more like a lady's car ....

we attended the motor show in march 2023. if the ongoing motor expo had featured the byd song L or byd sea lion 07, i would have traveled to bangkok (a round trip of 1,600 km). another reason for me to go would be if they announced the sale of the denza N7 or the avatar 11 / 12 for the next year! but they didn't, will wait for the moto expo 2024 ... the byd seal U looks nice, but i think the performance specifications (204 hp) are just too weak.

it depends on how you interpret the numbers. another way to look at it is that they've lost a significant number of customers who are now buying electric cars instead of choosing vehicles from brands like toyota or honda!

you must see the whole thing in relation. an electricity price increase of about 16% means for low earners, with a monthly electricity bill of 300 to 500 baht, additional costs of 48 to 80 baht per month! btw, a lottery ticket costs 80 - 100 baht ...

highly likely to be worse than it is now...

unexpectedly, PEA showed up at our house to let us know that there will be a 10-minute power outage. this interruption is due to the installation of a digital meter! anyway, it's not a issue for us since we don't have solar (yet). my previous disc meter had a capacity of 3 phases and 15 (45) A. the new digital meter is also 3 phases but with a capacity of 5 (100) A. i'm curious about the implications of this change. is having only 5 A instead of 15 A a cause for concern? should I consider reaching out to PEA to address this matter? thanks, motdaeng old disc meter: new digital meter:

did I miss something? why would someone turn off the daylight running lights on the car?

once more ... only hot air ... as usual ... nothing will improve ... as usual ... https://aqicn.org/country/thailand/
