A Comparison of Elite Media and Netizens' Comments on BYD – How Significant Are the Differences?

I've seen the news. The picture of Akio Toyoda passed BYD booth. I think Akio's face shows "he ignores BYD" or "he hates BYD" rather than "he is having stress".

According to an other news, Akio Toyoda said to the media that “Japanese automakers must win.” I think Akio is no need to said that, since I never see and never think Japanese automakers can lose (at least, in Japan, its "home stadium", and Thailand, its "home stadium" too!).

I seen anti-EV and anti-Chinese-product sentiments are still very high among the most of Thai people.

Geely's EV sales skyrocket 306% in January as it passes BYD & VW

Japanese auto lose HUGE market share in Thailand as EVs sales grow 685%

By the percentage, it is very big.

By the sale numbers, it is very small (except BYDs, Neta V and MG4, that are more than 1,000 in that month, still not big numbers to me).

In my point of view, Japanese auto is not yet lose, especially the "T" brand, "H" brand and "I" brand. They are still gods of fuel cars, especially the T, that currently no EV company can beat it, and looks like that EVs will never beat it. Not surprise why T believe that EVs can't conquer the world, because the fuel car business of T is still the greatest.

Bangkok Motor Expo is also a new car sales event, not just a car show. It usually takes place in December. This event can stimulate new car sales very well, both at the event and through various car showrooms across the country. It contributed to the increase in car registrations in January. (In many cases, the car will not be received in the same month as when the order takes place.)

He Realises The World is Just a Virtual Reality, And Other Humans Are only NPCs

RANDALL THYMES RETURNS TO THE BOARD

A new character called Phassakorn Saetang.

This video clearly shows that Phassakorn is a character. It is acting, not real.

Other points are his pronounce of แซ่ตั้ง (Saetang) is not from the Thai "แซ่ตั้ง" but it is from the English that spelt "Saetang" (despite his Thai-accent English speaking), and Plummcorp's posts (and Phassakorn's posts) in the Thai language are clearly wrote by machine translated, not the native Thai.
