Thai investigation ‘clears BYD over discounts’

Consumer Protection Board concluded Chinese EV maker did not break advertising law, say sources

 

The Consumer Protection Board in Thailand has cleared the Chinese electric vehicle maker BYD of wrongdoing over discount practices that prompted complaints from BYD owners and a subsequent investigation, two sources familiar with the matter said.

 

The government in July launched an investigation into BYD’s local distributor, Rever Automotive, after a complaint alleged they had told buyers that vehicle prices would rise after a discount campaign ended, but instead they cut prices further soon after — by as much as 340,000 baht.

The Consumer Protection Board wish to thank Rever for the gifts, they needed those brown envelops for postage.

Incidentally, my salesman told me that they received the email from Rever at 3am on the morning of the discounts.

The salesman said buy now, because the price is going up. Wow, that's original.

Very interesting numbers........ e.g. Denza with just one model, they hit a gold mine, harvesting in a very lucrative segment. It was in fact one of the very busy corners at the BYD booth.

 

For me - to again look at the Tesla's on display, which by any account is a tech powerhouse, completely fell on their face with the stripped down IKEA style interiors compared to the Chinese competitors, so sad.

These are not sales these are bookings normally as a rule the number of bookings doesn't end with the same number of registrations

I have never seen a model by brand breakdown in these motorshow figures
