Has everyone got the message now about these dangerous things? Next EV vehicles, especially the high end ones, that appear to have the same issues,  on too many occasions for it to just be random.

Over 5 million Teslas made to date and one fire occurs every 100 million kilometers. I’ll take those odds.

Of course it is.  Chinese goods are known for their quality and reliability !!  Give me a break.  They are cheap copiers of Western technology, nothing more. Nothing in China is ahead of the West.

Oh, the NYT, so it must be true. You will get precious few supporters for that view. Where do you think that your Chinese mates get their technological knowledge, they steal it? 

And drop the insults mate, it makes you look weak and pathetic.

      News Forum - Thailand to tax residents’ foreign income irrespective of remittance

      It is now November and Thai Tax Office (TRD) has still not released clarifications or details, nor have they released their annual 'How to complete PIT Tax Guides'. Talk about incompetent and disorganised - the biggest change to income taxation is this country for many decades, and they still have not provided what in every western country would be mandatory BEFORE the new taxation rule was changed - details on how the change will impact people, and training for the tax professionals, and detailed Q&A for all. A mate I know in Pattaya is planning a move with some friends there, to Cambodia or Vietnam. They want to spend time in Pattaya, because they are all very 'comfortable' there - lots of Expats and services and they know what is where and when etc.. So what they plan to do, if this goes ahead and Expats are 'nailed to the cross', is to base themselves over there and visit Thailand 2 times a year (maybe 3 if OK) for 3 months at a time. They reckon and I agree, that if you come in as a Tourist they cannot hit you with income taxes - under the Income Taxation Act Tourists are not subject to income taxation - only residents living here. It looks like how it will work is that if TRD is made aware (by Thai banks) of a Foreigner receiving over X Million Baht is foreign deposits (X = 2, 5, 10?) and they have no tax return/s in that name, they will verify with Immigration if they are a long-stay Expat (retired, married, working, etc). If they are on a long-stay Non-Immigration Visa then they may get in contact and ask why do tax return/s. Many people think it is all too hard and TRD will just continue to 'let it go' for Expats, but there is also the concern that the Govt is hammering the TRD to introduce a new taxation system and to enforce compliance a lot more. They need more taxation in order to meet the Budget shortfall due to a declining economy, ageing population, and the need to pay for all the 'stimulus programs' (vote buying) they have been doing and will do it the future. Reducing the public service and slowing waste and corruption is never mentioned of course. Unfortunately, Expats would be caught up in that new system and new enforcement. No one knows for sure what will happen (still) but I do know this, any retired/married Expat who willingly raises their heads so TRD can see them (lodges a tax return) is IMO risking a lot of trouble. Wait and watch is my plan - wait and watch.

      News Forum - British expats uncovered in Thailand as UK probes pension fraud

      Could be an issue for some - probably cause some to set up sticks in a country where there is annual indexation (just in case).
