In recent visits in Europe, I was surprised in seeing a few Audi's and VW's parked aside the highways due to some kind of breakdown. Also saw a few BMW's but less.

 

Keep in mind that the so called great brands of Germany are rarely assembled in Germany. They use many 2nd or 3rd grade countries in eastern europe to assemble the cars. Also have in mind that your Audi or similar has more then half of it's components, Made in  (Guess where)....China!!

 

All this to say., imagine Thailand in that case. I'd go only for either a Japanese or Chinese now. Nothing else for sure and definately not anything American or even from the EU.

Rules of origin mean most of the mechanical components won't be made in China, because so much of the electronics is imported, they have to use enough local parts to still sell it globally as an EU car.

That's why the EU and UK are having problems with meeting rules of origin on EVs - because they're importing batteries...
