January 21, 20242 yr 20 hours ago, FruitPudding said: So, you would choose a BYD over a similar model of Tesla, if they were the same price? But that's not the playing field is it? Would you buy a Seiko if it was the same price as a Rolex? Apples n oranges.

January 21, 20242 yr Popular Post 2 hours ago, FruitPudding said: Precisely my point: Tesla is better. I know they are not the same. Lol That's why BYD is outselling Tesla 10 to 1 in Thailand. BYD Seal is far superior to Tesla model 3.
January 21, 20242 yr 22 hours ago, FruitPudding said: If it was half the price of a Tesla or anything Japanese, maybe.... MAYBE.....but even then, probably not. This post had me thinking a little about different makes of cars, American, Korean, Japanese, Chinese… I’m not a frequent watcher of car reviews but I thought this was a bit apt to address the above post about Japanese cars. A bit of a long watch but the conclusion is thought provoking. Especially when this car costs almost twice as much as the MG4

Which particular attribute did you like when you drove one that made it so much better compared to the BYD vehicles you have tried? It's always good to hear first hand knowledge so please share.

January 22, 20242 yr Popular Post 17 hours ago, FruitPudding said: I own Tesla. Interesting. Own, not owned. So I assume you’re not an EV critic. Do you have your Tesla in Thailand or overseas? I wouldn’t want a Tesla in Thailand as the main advantages (super charger network, GPS etc) are not present. Also limited network of dealers.

January 22, 20242 yr I have a 2006 Toyota Tundra in the US. I have tried for years to buy quality parts from China. That video clearly shows the exact thing I have been threw with my Toyota when ordering and installing parts from China. I mean it was like exactly my experience with parts. So, I would have to see it to believe it. No offense to you electric car guys, I know nothing about them what so ever. But, I personally would not buy one. Last truck I had in Thailand was a turbo diesel and it was an excellent truck. And it was a lousy Ford... haha. 350KM on the clock and still running when I left.

Do a few checks and check how the parts are holding up. The worst parts I have ever seen from china were the parts with rubber in them. Suspension parts especially. Total , and I mean total junk. Everyone in the US that does any wrenching avoids mechanical part from China. At this point all I buy are seat covers, cosmetic items . I have a set of seat covers for my Tundra I just ordered and got in , excellent ++ quality. Another thing I love from china is the Xiaomi phones. Excellent +++++++++ phones. Bought my first one many years ago in Malaysia and have been using them ever since. The guy that posted the video on his solar house is another item I would like to try out from China. I have heard they are good panels. I need to do some research on the inverters and see some reviews on them.

I believe it was made in the US. Why on earth would you then order non OEM parts from China? That’s just nonsensical and idiotic if you ask me. My bro-in-law used to be a Ford salesman. He told us that FORD stood for Fix Or Repair Daily lol.

So far, Chinese made high speed railways, trains, space station, skyscrapers, bridges etc etc seem to be holding up well. I’m sure there will be accidents, like everywhere else in the world, including Europe and the US.

But I’m still puzzled. Why would you order any non-OEM parts from a company in China for an American made vehicle? That’s like ordering a Boeing part for an Airbus. Or an iPhone battery for my Huawei phone. Or duck meat for my beef wellington. LOL.

And by the way the parts advertised from your comrade were advertised and boxed in Toyota boxes and advertised as OEM products. Curious where you are from, and why you are on a thread about cars it you know nothing about them? Here is a flash for you comrade, They sell Toyota's in China.. Toyota parts are the same quality world wide. Comrad

Since I own a BYD, it would make sense for me to be on this thread. On the other hand, I doubt very much that you own a BYD or even an EV. But that doesn’t mean you can’t contribute your 2 cents worth, which so far, hasn’t amounted to even 2 satang. But that’s ok, everyone has a right to state their opinion. The beauty about the world we live in today is that we don’t need to know very much about everything. I know how to drive a car, I own one. If there’s an issue, I pay someone to fix it for me. Dense I may be, but fortunately, I can afford to pay someone to crawl under the car for me. I hate getting my t-shirt dirty, don’t you?
