June 14, 20242 yr Popular Post 11 minutes ago, Bandersnatch said: Ignoring the nonsense is the way to go IMHO There's no point arguing with these anti-EV people, even when you educate them over their mistakes, they just repeat their baseless opinions somewhere else. Frankly, it's tiresome. I can't count the number of times I've had to refute claims that they catch fire more than ICE cars, or that the batteries are expected to exceed the life of the car, or that they don't depreciate any more than ICE cars, or that they don't cost a fortune to insure. The more substantiated data you throw at them, they still don't believe it and push back further. The sad part is, some people who genuinely want to know about EV's and are perhaps considering one, get poisoned by these people. It's shameful.

It is tiresome - no context to the videos, no write up of what happened, just anti-Chinese nonsense. Getting very very boring now. Indeed - and what is even more entertaining is that there are people so bored in their lives - they spend all day just scouring every nook and cranny all over the Internet to find complaints of customers with Chinese EV's. What I observed is that in general, Thai FB postings are coalescing around negative events - its almost as if the average Joe and Jill in Thailand is searching for others that are worse off to make themselves feel better, also know as "downward social comparison"........lol Conversely - these guys are a pure joy to follow: https://www.facebook.com/share/nhzH5afnjNRUA6Yt/

Look at all the HiSo's current models that has equivalent EV 'trim' from China with 0% tariff, BMW iX3s, Volvos XC40, the importers seem to keep the margin to themselves either to protect the ICE market. Same with locally assembled BMWs and Mercedes, price never come down
