Are you sure the VW Golf is going to die? It is not an EV, so it doesn't have an expensive battery pack that risks needing premature replacement.
And that's without even considering the numerous old VW cars, including Typ 1 and Typ 2, that are still exist in excellent conditions. How very long life VW cars are!
The title "The end...of the road to saving [money]? [Faced] the battery pack cost of over 400,000 baht, plus have 600,000 baht left to pay the finance company [for the car loan]. What to do next? #ev #electricvehicle"
This YT channel reports many cases of Chinese EVs suck, as usual.
The user drove about 220,000 kms, that makes the warranty ended too soon, then battery pack failure happened.
This may confirm that BYD ATTO3 AND ALSO BYD EVS ARE STILL NOT RELIABLE ENOUGH FOR THAI HIGH-MILEAGE USERS.
h0ngcom agrees that the warranty mile is too short.
For the EV maker company that wanna beat the gas cars, h0ngcom think the warranty of battery pack should be 8 years or ONE MILLION KILOMETERS, like the warranty of the GWM diesel engine!!!
However, h0ngcom see some BYD EV taxi cases in other countries that the electric car can use for many hundred thousand miles.
It would be great if there are garages / EV shops that can repair the battery pack, instead of replacing the entire set which costs hundreds of thousands of baht, in this case, about 400,000+ baht.
DOWN WITH EXPENSIVE BATTERY PACKS!!!! LONG LIVE GAS CARS!!!!
For some unknown reasons, h0ngcom think that now the very-original The Electric Viking (that talked and made so many videos about BYD) has returned, except he does not pro-BYD much like before, but for talking about BYD, yes, h0ngcom think he is back.
GM helped them, but GM abandoned us in Thailand. GM has many good EVs to beat Chinese EVs, but GM didn't do that. --h0ngcom.
This seems to be a very important event that happened in the EV World. However, "This video is too large, and unfortunately, Preservetube does not have unlimited storage." Ha! I really wanna buy a domain name such as "Tube" dot anything/whatever, and a unit of webhosting diskspace. But I am too poor right now. --h0ngcom.
