What a ridiculous comparison. The Good Cat is a city run around and is half the price of the Tesla. And anyway, the base Model 3 does 0-60 in 6.1 seconds. If you want 3.3 seconds you need the Performance model which is 2.3m baht, or three times the price of the Good Cat. Seriously, how can you make such a ridiculous comparison??? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sqwakvfr Posted December 7, 2022 Share Posted December 7, 2022 I saw two Tesla’s in Chiang Mai in the last week(one of them was the SUV model with doors that open up). Then I wondered besides at home where can a Tesla owner charge his vehicle? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've got one on order in Australia and I would order one if I was in Thailand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good Cat Ora around 9 seconds. 3.1 Sec is performance M3. Why pay that premium price when you can get the BYD Atto 3 to get 0-100 in 7.3s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But since it's still a 4~6 month wait, I'll just sit tight and see what 2023 delivers. There definitely won't ever be a new Tesla in my driveway though. Go with the BYD Atto 3. It is a close competitor to Tesla Model 3 and much cheaper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought PTT was getting into that business, but other than one news article some months ago I have read nothing more about it. Recently, I read that the electricity company had some plans, but the information was rather vague. Most EV owners charge at home and only use public charger on long trips.

Those Tesla’s go like stink, beating most off the lights, which is probably not altogether a good idea come to think of it. Hub yeah..! they love that word.

Now I can't wait to see him, and Tesla, fail. Teslas certainly have some impressive technology, but their assembly process is still pretty shabby, with endless complaints online about panel gaps etc. Regardless, the Chinese are gearing up to not only destroy Tesla, but also the Korean and Japanese automakers, in nearly all non-US markets. Chinese cars have made tremendous strides in the past 10 years, from literal death traps, to world-class EVs. Toyota and Mazda are still stuck in the past with petrol and hybrid cars that almost no one will want in just a few short years. If I could drive off the lot in a new Ora Cat today, I'd have bought one already. But since it's still a 4~6 month wait, I'll just sit tight and see what 2023 delivers. There definitely won't ever be a new Tesla in my driveway though. It's an american car. Nuf said. next. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anything empirical? Performance wise they are sub par. Tesla Model 3 0-60 3.1 seconds. Good Cat Ora around 9 seconds. Ah, that's all? For a moment I thought that you were implying that the quality was sub par. One car being slower then another doesn't make it "sub par" when they're not comparable vehicles and not being aimed at the same demographics. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
