Atto 3 extended range 480 Performance in Quantum Black to feature at the Motor Show, price to be revealed.
 

The current price of an extended range Atto 3 is 1,199,000 with 100k cashback ( so 1.1 mil ). Will be interesting to see what price this version launches at as there is quite a few upgrades to this version.

Things like adding the Karaoke app, the ability to DC Fast Charge up to 88KW vs 80KW, and ability to turn off Daytime Running light during current initiation cycle was added in Dec 2023 when software/firmware version 1.7 was released. 

 

Other than a tire size change and main display size change everything is just a cosmetics change or was already released for the earlier Atto Extended Range model (like my 2023 Extended Range Atto I bought in Oct 2023).

This is proof that the CCP is eavesdropping on everything you say and do in the car. It is a spy machine a serious national security risk.

Or maybe the Chinese can't spell and the ear 👂 mirrors really are rear mirrors?

Anyway, why quantum black ⚫️,  is it even a real color or are the achievements of BYD so small they have to be measured at the quantum level?

I don't know what you're smoking, but can I have some?

I can't afford to smoke, I have to pay for fuel and I used my last savings to order 100,000 of these stickers. I hope Pib will be my first customer.

Naw....I gave up smoking on the road (i.e., my vehicle; not me).   But since I kept my 2009 Fortuner 3.0L diesel (great SUV) after buying my 2023 Atto whenever I do drive the Fortuner once or twice a month to circulate its fluids/charge its battery I do try to do it in a "low profile"  way to minimize the smoking relapse and to avoid upsetting the increasing number of EVers on the road.....and I definitely don't get into any races with EVs because I don't like losing (or smoking).

Sorry to break it to you, but your type of vehicle is going the way of the animals that made the oil they use.

 

The question is "Are you going to be one too?"

 

See the light, go EV!

Sorry to break it to you but oil was not made from dinosaurs. That is one of those silly statements that only gullible fools believe.

Just keep digging, you are in EV hell now, but if you are lucky you will hit paydirt, discover oil 🛢 and come out on the other side and get yourself a nice V8.

Yet again we have evidence that EV Haters are incapable of undertaking even basic research "Doh! What a surprise 😮"

 

Explains why everything they post has to be fact checked

I vaguely remember V8's and other cars fueled by oil, weren't they popular last century?

 

I loved the noisy cabins, the vibration that made you tired after a long drive, the harshness of the engine, all those moving parts that often broke down, their pedestrian pace, their inefficiency.

Mind blowing how quick these EVs are. Must be really satisfying getting out of a hairy situation with the slightest tap on the right peddle. Makes me look like a right turtle in my Toyota sedan.

They are stunningly quick, when you're overtaking you're usually off the throttle part way through the maneuver and sometimes even breaking part way through the maneuver.

The second-hand leccy car market has fallen through the floor in the UK.

Best to watch this video to make sure you have your facts right.
 

Prices of second-hand cars are always compared to the list price of new cars despite the fact that nobody actually pays list prices.

 

In Thailand second hand prices for all cars seem inflated to me. Used Teslas being advertised above new price.

A UK guy, bought a Porsche, and after two years is was worth; or rather the best off he was offered, was less than 30% of purchase price. He was posting because he still owed 68k on it.

 

Now considering that the actual batteries are such a big % of the car cost. when the car is a few years old, and the owner wishes to sell, who would buy it? Have to be give-a-way price to get shot.

 

Is there a leccy MG?

Used Car market for electric cars  is in early stages of development in Thailand

Byd has announce an inspection service for car sellers and buyers there was an announcement they are planning to start selling used cars sometime in 2024

https://mgronline.com/motoring/detail/9660000071390

Biggest problem at the moment for used electric cars in Thailand is for some reason Banks and Finance companies when applying for finance for used electric cars answer is computer says no

They offer finance for new EV's but not for Used EV's

Most of the Facebook groups pages state impossible to get finance for used EV's

I am sure their will be a used car market for EV's in  the future 

Majority of cars are purchased in Thailand using finance
