That makes even less sense lol

There was a fire at a Petrol station in Surin this week,  one of the few that didn’t have any EV charging! 
 

I drove past it yesterday and it was totally gutted. The sooner they are replaced by clean safe EV charging stations the better.  
 

Thailand has some of the worst air pollution in the world they should seriously consider Ultra Low Emission Zones for city centers with financial incentives to help people dump the pump.

 

 

 

The e-bikes are already here. Apparently they catch fire 🔥 more frequently than their 4-wheeled bigger brothers.

Another BYD owner's cry for help.

Another BYD owner is happy with his purchase:

 

” I think that EVs are really the bees knees, best thing since sliced bread. The ride is so smooth, the acceleration so imperceptible that very often, I surprise myself at the speed that I’m travelling at. I’m definitely a convert “

 

Yes, without a link it is just someone’s opinion.

 

Touché

Not sure where you are going with this but it is just odd.

If I admire EVs I should immediately sell my ICEVs and buy an EV? What financial sense would that make? And then if a new model of EV comes out that I like I should immediately sell my EV and buy a new one? Do you do that with your phones? A new Samsung comes out which you think is cool so you would sell your one year old iPhone and go buy a Samsung?? Or would you continue with your iPhone then when you are ready to buy a new one consider the Samsung?

Strange logic, strange argument.

 

Mt latest ICEV is still pretty new and I am still paying off the finance with just a few months to go. I bought it just before EVs really started to take off and, I admit, I didn't think EVs would float my boat, but I have since spent three days with one and toured several 100s of kms in it.  For my own reasons now is not the sensible time to go and buy a new car when the one I have is still perfectly modern and desirable. But when I do buy a new car it will be an EV, 100%.

So, your next purchase "...will be an EV, 100%." 

 

Sounds pretty biased, no?

My God, it's like being in the school playground.

Yes, I admit, I'm biased for or against EVs, which ever one you think - I can't keep track any more, but well done, you win.

You are coming across as being rather pathetic. No one denies that electronics develop problems now and then. This is not an EV issue but an electronics issue. The electronics in my previous petrol powered CLK had plenty of problems as well. It locked me out one evening when I had a particularly hot date so much so that I sent her home in a taxi by herself. I promptly sold it (my CLK, not the taxi) the next month.

Killer error message ??

 

It is actually telling the driver that YouTube can only be used in parking mode, but you probably know that already ??

Yeap...quite a few things you can not do in a vehicle's infotainment system while the car is in Drive....it's a safety thing.  Ditto for my 2009 Toyota Fortuner ICEV when using its infotainment system...gotta be stopped/in Park to access certain functions....a safety thing.

Unless you side loaded them of course !!

I can access YouTube and a few different browsers while on the move, but obviously don’t and limit it to YouTube Music .

I gave up fact checking EOW's mystery no context posts a while ago. He just keeps them coming and I can't be bothered. It's now boring, deliberately misleading, stupid, pointless and childish. I just don't understand what motivates him to search for random clips and post them here when most of them turn out to be utter nonsense. Why bother? How you can hate a type of propulsion so much that you have to search for someone's YouTube not being able to be played while driving (common and sensible) and posting that it means the car is broken? It is illogical and, frankly, idiotic.

Oh, and he never ever responds when it is debunked. But no doubt he'll be along again tomorrow with another gem, polluting the thread even further.

Wouldn't it be better if the Brand reduce the number of imports prior to launching Thai local model 

rather than price reduction which affect's the value of current owners  EV investment

Not sure the which items in the rever package goes with this dolphin discount , I do not see the free maintenance for  8 years . I wish they stop adding and deleting to their rever package but at least we have free tint around the car I think ( xu max )  this round included
