Apparently it didn’t come through the ceiling as stated previously: ”Police arrived at the scene to gather evidence and found a damaged hot water flask hit by a bullet, but no bullet holes in the ceiling, suggesting the shot came through the ventilation.”

ha, yes it is far from exciting and seems perfect for a taxi or fleet vehicle, seems strange why they would want to release it for the general public. But, who knows, the price is right and some see the advantage of a decent sized storage area, might see it delivering Lazada and Shopee stuff anytime soon 😀

Here’s a BYD which was not given much coverage, originally destined for the taxi market has now been added to the Rêver list of available EV’s and with a healthy discount. A station wagon with a spacious cabin and large storage space and the BYD trademark quality interior, safety and entertainment features. https://autolifethailand.tv/special-price-byd-e6-ev-bev-rever-automotive/ An alternative to MG EP & ES.

Actually mine uses a Lithium Iron Battery ( lithium ferro phosphate )

It has a 12v battery it just isn’t lead acid

Mine doesn’t

Buying one of these at the local shop after school, having a race to see who could finish it first, gnawing at it like a beaver and occasionally getting brain freeze !

So RHD cars can only be manufactured in RHD countries and cars cannot be manufactured in different states in the US if the requirements are not the same ?? What exactly are you trying to say ??

But like we have discussed before those domestic produced EV’s can be exported to neighbouring countries, Lao and Malaysia for example or even the U.K., Australia and Brazil where BYD are selling okay to well.

This guy

Worked in Wisconsin ( Chippewa Falls ) for several weeks back in 2002 , some of the locals were telling us to go to Shooters Show Girls One guy proudly proclaimed that the girls were TOPLESS !!, after seeing our confused expressions he explained. The state law was : Topless - no liquor license Covered - liquor license seems like booze AND breasts would be just too much for the locals !!, no wonder there’s so many Americans over here !!

Apparently it is not a sale until ….. blah, blah, blah 😒

I’ll throw a random number in there: BYD 5,345

A cautionary tale: I was contacted yesterday by a poster in the U.K. who has had a Seal for 2 weeks now. For whatever reason the showroom were polishing his car and an over zealous employee had managed to remove the silver coating on the front BYD logo. ( I had mentioned earlier that the front badge is unusual in that it is almost transparent, shine a light inside can be seen outside, and I think at one time it was designed to be illuminated ). Now, because of the way the badge is mounted ( plastic welded ) the front bumper needs to be removed to repair/replace the badge, something the owner is not happy to do on a 2 week old car. The showroom seems lacking in knowledge of the car, a) to cause the damage in the first place. b) they seem to be unsure how to proceed and are giving him the run around about how they will fix it. So, a brief mention to your detailer to avoid the front badge when polishing can avoid a world of pain.

A near neighbour died last week of an aneurysm, aged 56, nice fella had a van and sold lottery outside the local 7. The old lady and myself paid a visit to the local temple for the 7 o’clock chanting. The car park was busy and a lot of people attending, we managed to secure a couple of seats near the front outside ( inside was already full ). I was just thinking that he had attracted a lot of people when I saw his photo near the refrigerated “ coffin” ……. yup !…. it wasn’t him !! Our friend was in another smaller room around the back with about 6 people!! Anyway he had ( yup, I can’t even remember his name !! ) just 4 monks but their chanting was amazing, really melodic and each one slightly offset to the others making a really hypnotic type of music. They finished their lengthy part and left the stage with their “ gifts “. Another 4 ( one was a returnee ) came on and did similar hypnotic chanting, it was like some religious Battle of the Bands !! Never seen this before. Note: not trying to diminish the effect of the obviously harrowing funerals of your local children @owl sees all just thought it of interest.

My cumulative is 13.7 kWh/100 km, my past 50 km is 12.6 kWh/100 km as I slowed when the 10% red lettering and warning popped up ( vaguely recalling the post about range disappearing rapidly below 10% ). The point of my post being where does the Dynamic range setting get its figures from ?

You seem to forget I have the Premium with more range ( 650 NEDC )

How accurate is the Dynamic range setting ?? Okay it has to be better than the NEDC I hear you say but tbh mine is not much better !! What is the criteria for the Dynamic range setting ??, is it updated instantly or every 10, 50, 100 km’s ? So, in the past I have mentally calculated the range setting v the actual mileage driven on a 210 km highway drive that I frequently undertake and under normal driving conditions ( my driving) 210 km will take 260 km off my range ( that range figure became 189 km when hit a huge stretch of stop and go ) , speed being the major factor. Yesterday, I decided to do a longer test( mainly highways with a small amount of city traffic). Starting at 100% battery and a “ range “ of 653 km i embarked upon a trip there and back and got back home with 8% battery and 47 km range left. Equating to 0-100% battery of 530 km actual driving re a 653 km guessometer reading ( around 82% accuracy ). Nothing unusual about that you say but when charging back home overnight to 100% it gives me 644 km range on the Dynamic range guessometer !! Why not 530 km ?? My conclusion is that the Dynamic range isn’t giving me the range to continue driving as per my recent trip but giving me the range possible albeit slightly adjusted ( never got below 650 km before ) but even that is confusing as the last 50 km back home were at a lesser speed when I saw the % getting low. So, what is the criteria of giving me a lower than normal 100 % range this morning ?? So in conclusion ( again ) the Dynamic range setting is not much better than the NEDC only they give random numbers to make you think it is helpful ?? I will add that this is lower than my previous 580-590 km range claim but possibly due to 4 adults + 1 kid v 2 Adults and sometimes 2 anorexic teenagers, 40° temps in Nakhon Sawan meaning higher air con settings and me showing off my acceleration/overtaking prowess at the start until berated by Mrs D !

+ 1 for Rory, a real workhorse who wanted nothing more than to play his music to an appreciative audience.

They had a good run though !!

So you think Hendrix, Clapton, SRV and the Rolling Stones should have been bigger or did you not understand the op ?

It is one of the reasons I chose Premium, I have a regular around trip of 420 km, if i stay o/night and have a bit of running around it can run to 450/480 km. But that still gets me back home with around 15 - 20 % , which is ideal for the battery conditioning charge o/night. Doing this run tomorrow with 4 adults there and back. The RWD 313 horses and 330 nm torque is more than enough for me .

Actually that is forward slash and represents 5 out of 10 and not divide at all. Apple accept that the divide by or division symbol is absent and used the foreward slash symbol as their text replacement example in Apple Support Community.

Well, to answer my own question, there isn’t one !! So I used “ text replacement “ to create a shortcut, copy the symbol and choose any letter or word combination to enable it. I chose ++ to give me the ÷ option: Apologies for the slight deviation, back to Electric Vehicles in Thailand
