Tesla just cut again the price of her cars in China and Us. Let’s see if they will also do it here in the near future 


Tesla doesn’t have much history of reducing prices here in Thailand.
 

In the first year they were available here with price cuts going on around the world Tesla only reduced prices once, a week after the release of the BYD Seal
 

It wasn’t enough to stop the Seal quickly outselling the model 3.

I was responding to the portion of the post I bolded: 

The Thai Smile electric busses charge 15 baht, where everyone else, aka diesel busses, charge 8-13 baht. 

"provide a cheaper transport alternative for commuters, he said." 

 

I do not think the diesel busses are air conditioned for that price, and assuming the E-busses are would make them a bargain. 

Especially vs the BTS / MRT if comparing AC'd apples to apples.

Since this is Thailand I think it's a good question, people are getting electrocuted all the time.   Who are responsible for building them?

Has anyone been electrocuted changing a light bulb? Who’s responsible for inventing the light bulb?

This is an EV thread, the bloke asked a relevant question...........🤔

 

Yes, folk have been electrocuted changing light bulbs, the same as any electrical item, responsibility for using that item is up to the user, unless an item has been proven unsafe............

seems like the point I was making has gone over your head. No surprises there.

 

The other poster asked what on the surface seemed like a reasonable question but included an advertisement from an ambulance chasing legal firm which immediately brought into doubt the sincerity of the question. You would have to be intellectually challenged not to realise that.

That reads like you are cornered.......😉

Has anyone been burned to death (while refueling their car) in Thailand?

 

More than 100 in a single day on September 24th, 1990.

Even of you had lighting balls shooting 🔫 out of your headlamps, EVs will never match the carnage dino fuel ️ can unleash.

Yeah I remember that - happened not long before I arrived in Thailand. An absolutely awful tragedy.

Is this a new, mellower, more reasonable EOW? I like it.

Just because you have a shovel doesn’t mean that you should keep digging.

If you have to resort to personal attacks instead of answering with something useful, you are cornered...........😉

Please go troll someplace else.

 

Just because your shovel is bigger, doesn’t mean that you should keep digging.

 

How about you guys get back on topic. 

 

Have you guy notice how dated the Model 3 looks, and how much it looks like the Seal?

Every sedan looks almost identical to each other.   Take the badges off, and most would have a hard time telling you the make & models.

 

Neta V has a distinct look, along with Ora Good Cat, and the MG ZS, well, the front grill, or lack of.   Along with tail end of MG4.   Most of the rest lined up, and I wouldn't have a clue.
