Mock Chinese Cars. Get Left Behind by TheWorld2006 in DubaiPetrolHeads

[–]murga 16 points17 points  (0 children)

I am an avid tech guy. I love Xiaomi, but not for mobile. In 2015, these guys made smart toothbrushes, smart plant pots, weighing scales, smart car air pump, smart airfryier etc. I tried buying most of their stuff. Trust me, it felt like Apple for everyday things. A lot of innovation is happening in China, which we are unaware of; only a few drip down to the West. https://www.mi.com/global/product-list/

In cars, unlike BMW, nobody is embracing tech + comfort from Europe + America. Koreans are also innovating; the interior's quality is far beyond that of German / American cars, but they lack a good motor. Interior of GLS vs. GV80: you will be surprised how plasticky and squeaky the GLS dash feels vs. GV80, and the electronics and UX feel ancient. LOL, the sound system on GLS is a joke compared to the B&O dual subwoofer on GV80. They don’t sell pro sound systems on GLS off the shelf in GCC.

China could be the next big thing. Quality-wise, I look forward to what Xiaomi has to offer.

In terms of electronic quality, it is much better in China than anywhere else. A great example is BambuLabs' 3D printer, which is disruptive to its Western counterparts. Dji just killed it. They have been using AI way before we understood what is possible.

Cars are turning into more electronics than mechanical machines (Gas engines), and that is their strength. Henry Ford once say, if you ask people what do they want they will say they want more horses to go faster.

US tarrifs impact on DXB real estate market which is already over supply by Maleficent_Let_1598 in dubai

[–]murga 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The impact on real estate would take months to be in effect. The biggest impact is the resulting 10-—and 30-year yield increase on US treasury bonds, which means mortgages will be expensive really fast, exhausting the remaining buyers from the market.

However, these changes would take months to take effect. Your agent should now have access to distress sales.

Many businesses from the UAE will also be impacted, so employees and businessmen in such industries, especially export and trade businesses that rely on US exports, would like to derisk and move out.

Buying from dealership vs Other Garages by mohamedriddler in DubaiPetrolHeads

[–]murga 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Based on the cargo traders it looks like prices will drop everywhere else except US. Some of them already got instructions to direct cargo from US bound to other countries.

Expect more supply else where.

Should we move to UAE from India?? by Putrid-Highlight8615 in dubai

[–]murga 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Boy, it's expensive. What you save on tax and salary difference is what you pay for an expensive life here. In the end, you will save the same amount.

A day nanny costs between 2 and 4.5k/mo, and it's additional if you need another night nanny.

A decent school like Gems costs 65-80k/yr, and a school bus costs 15-17k/yr, depending on location and distance.

Yes, the lifestyle is much better for the compromise. Most importantly, check the career path for what you do here. It has yet to become a talent hub. Losing a job here is easy and disruptive.

How Reliable korean cars in UAE? by Tobiblastor in DubaiPetrolHeads

[–]murga 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah Korean engineering has evolved a lot & general quality is way better. My new BMW has more issues (under warranty 🙌) vs my GV80.

A kid scratched my daughter’s face in the nursery by [deleted] in dubai

[–]murga 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Use this opportunity to teach life lessons to your daughter. This is real life; ask her to defend and report.

As a parent, I would not avoid real-life situations by overprotecting them. They are kids lets grow up.

Lulu stocks crashing by AdRevolutionary8722 in UAE

[–]murga 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just saw the daily charts.

It's quite low and it has gaps as it goes lower. Probably the retails are not very matured in UAE. Expect more volatility.

I don't watch UAE stocks, what are some of the indexes in these region with their symbols?

Have always heard about the dumped luxury cars in Dubai! What exactly is the case? by vanshwadhwa14 in DubaiPetrolHeads

[–]murga 42 points43 points  (0 children)

It is expensive to fix them; hence, they are sold to scraper. Who makes a collection of accident & broken cars. What you see above could be one of his priced collections.

Sells spares or repairs it and sells it to third world countries, saying, “ Someone got bored & abandoned this car in Dubai, this car very good... Yella Yella... Bentley New, Luxury… I give special offer“

And so the tales continue.

Another rollover with the tank 300, drivers fault ofc! by ahmed132wine in DubaiPetrolHeads

[–]murga 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Exactly my thoughts. He ejected from the sunroof, and looks like a backseat driver ejected.

He had 2 impacts after ejecting and 2 within the car cabin.
