Will California fry completely pollute our world?
I go for them if they know how to gobble gobble. You can always tell them to shut up. -

Electric Vehicles in Thailand
The article is talking "registrations"....we are not talking sales. December data represents "registrations" completed by 31 Dec. A registration is a fully "completed" sale that govt has issued the registration book (a.ka., blue book for cars/trucks). A registration is a fully completed sale....a blue book issued although the person drove the car home on red tags once the dealership received full payment from the finance company or individual..and the person is now awaiting awaiting govt registration completion which issues the registration/ownership book (a.k.a., blue book). "Sales" is only something announced by car dealerships and does "not" mean the sale actually goes goes thru. The buyer may not be able to get financing...the buyer may simply back-out out of the deal and forfeit the deposit or get the deposit back.....the buyer never took procession of the vehicle...the sale never reaches the registration stage. How long does it take to register a vehicle? Well, you will read articles it can take 30 to 60 days but those articles are typically really talking from time of booking/deposit, time to get financing approved which can be quick to slow depending on the finances/loan worthiness of each buyer, how busy each DLT office is, etc. But registrations can complete well before 30 days when a person pays cash, a person's finances are in good order and financing is approved within days of the initial sale, and the DLT offices is not backlogged. I paid cash for my EV in Oct 2023...it took less than 3 weeks to complete the entire sale and registration from the point the dealership said they have my car in-hand....ready for me to take possession....just need payment. I provided the funds.....drove the car home with red plates....the dealership immediately started the registration process and it took almost 3 weeks until I had the blue book and white tags in hand. It would have only been two weeks except the DLT wanted to personally see/feel/smell my passport versus just the self certified copy the dealership provided. And this DLT office is the main DLT office in Bangkok...an extremely BIG and BUSY office. The dealership wanted to keep my passport for a few days during the registration process because they said "sometimes" the DLT office may want to see/touch/smell the actual ID document....actually see the passport or Thai ID card. Well, I did "not" want to let my all important passport to be out of my possession for days and possibly get lost by the dealership or DLT so I told the dealership lets just wait to see if DLT does ask to see the actual passport vs accepting the self-certified copy. Well, DLT did require to see the passport....then dealership then made an appointment to take me to DLT about 5 days later for me to show my passport....after DLT saw/felt/smelled the passport about 3 days later registration completed, blue book issued, white tags in hand. Total time to complete the registration was a little less than 3 weeks in my case which had a delay; if I had allowed the dealership to take my actual passport to DLT which would have prevented the delay the total time would have been about 2 weeks. The 31 Dec DLT data will include some registrations from sales initiated in Dec. What percentage of the total sales made in Dec actually complete the registration by 31 Dec is an unknown number because some registrations only take a few weeks and some take a few months. You can "not" wait for Jan 2025 registration date to come out in early Feb 2025 and then try to relate that into Jan-Dec 2024 sales/registrations. There has to be a cutoff date. -

Photos of destruction as a result of the incompetent world leader & his party
Speaking of plagues of locusts, how about the ones that are doing their shopping in the homes that have been evacuating? Had there been enforcement of shoplifting laws, they'd be in prison already and none of it would be happening. -

Britons Overwhelmingly Support a New Grooming Gang Inquiry
Its you who fails to understand, that's how politics work and getting further attention to a fully national enquiry is hardly grandstanding to Musk. What it is however is drawing attention to what the victims need and what the majority of British people want. -
