We ordered on 10th December, last day under promotion. Salesman said delivery December. Now they say we are top of the que. Believe it when I see it.

Mukdahan is like the end of a run, so not sure they would deliver a 1 off to Muk but wait to drop other cars off on the run.

The longer we wait the more wife will get Ped off and want to buy another Honda CRV.

 

Sounds similar to what many Seal buyers where being told back in late 2023/early 2024 when the Seal was launched in Thailand on 28 Sep 2023 and was what everybody wanted.  And don't be surprised if your BYD dealership starts telling you the particular Sealion 7 model (Premium or AWD Performance) and/or color you ordered is backordered for X-months along with a wishy-washy expected delivery date, BUT if you will accept this other version/color of Sealion 7 you can get it within a week.   

 

Hang in there for exactly what you ordered!!!....and hope it comes in soon.

We ordered a Seal RWD in 2023 and after a month of waiting, while all the time seeing the Seal AWDs getting quickly delivered to forum members here, we asked our dealer about an AWD and got it within a week.

 

We recently looked at the Sealion 7 Premium and it is a lovely car if a bit much for a second car. Buriram BYD told us about 3 months delivery. We swapped to the M6 Extended that the dealer had in stock and saved ฿350,000. 

 

It only cost us ฿400,000 to swap a 4 year old PHEV with a 17kWh battery for a full EV with a 72kWh battery and V2L.

 

How many KM on your MG? I am looking for a trade-in myself.....

The wife did a soft launch to her 1,600 FB friends (I have 110 friends by comparison) before posting on FB market place. 

You have friends ?   What's that like ? :cheesy:

They're FB friends so most are friends in name only or guys I was at Boarding School with 40 years ago who hardly spoke to me then but now feel it's imperative that we rekindle our long lost friendship!

Yup, a lot of my FB “ friends “ are from school who contacted me, I accepted under the false assumption that they weren’t living in the same small town and frequenting the same local ! … I was wrong !

Sadly a lot these friends have since passed on 😞

 Amongst my farang residents acquaintances here in Chiang Mai, recharging is the major heart attack point. So often the response when there's some discussion about buying an EV, the instant trembling response is: but there's nowhere to recharge the car.

 

A recent discussion prompted one farang to pull out his notebook and open a favorites page listing the multiple places in CM where EV owners (regardless of EV brand) can recharge at reasonable cost.

 

Plus of course you can do a recharge at home.

 

Next major panic response, 'but what if the nearby recharge is down for a day!'

 

Again doom and gloom. 

 

This prompted a vote amongst the 6 farang at the table. After a little discussion 5 agreed 'there really is no problem, and it's the same as gasoline fill up, you need to watch the gauge and do a fill up / top up as needed, at one of the multiple locations available.

 

The sixth farang is determined to be negative about everything, including whether Monday really does follow Sunday. 

 

 

 

Many people who don't own an EV seem to think that they are experts on all EV charger locations; EV Traction battery chemistries; Cradle-to-grave CO2 emissions of all vehicles etc etc. It must be the Dunning–Kruger effect.
