But I can’t see it stealing many sales from Audi or BMW, which might carve out a niche. Mahindra doesn’t have the decades of luxury experience that those brands have, that isn’t something that can be done overnight.

The real test will be quality and reliability. If Mahindra can get those right, they could surprise us all. Do you remember when people used to laugh at Hyundai?

I want to see Mahindra win, but against Tesla? That's a tall order. They can't be trying to be a Tesla clone, they need to be the best Mahindra they can be.

I think it's a good start. The fact is, most people don’t drive 450km in a day. It’s less about planning our trips differently and more about changing our mindset.

It's nothing short of stellar, besides charge time. This would have to be practical, which means fast charging would need to be widely available.

The real question is whether that range will be consistent. Will it drop as much as some other EVs we’ve seen in a few years?

The aero probably helps with range, but it's not just about looks. When it comes to an EV, I’d take function over form any day.
