Can the BE 6’s Auto Park Assist feature actually be of use in Indian parking situations?
09 January 2025 11:10
As for valet parking situations, I’m interested in how it deals with that. It could be really useful in restaurants and hotels where valets typically have to squeeze into tight places.

To be honest, most people will try it once or twice and then just park manually because it's faster. It's not essential feature, but nice to have.
Is the premium of the BE 6 Pack Three worth the cost over lower variants?
09 January 2025 11:10
I honestly think most buyers are going to find the Pack Three to be overkill. You probably will get 80% of the features for the base variant at a much more attractive price. If you don’t absolutely need the 682 km range, the lower variants appear to be better value.

The Pack Three is totally worth it if you can afford, disagree. The more impressive part is that 79 kWh battery, which completely eliminates range anxiety, and the premium features like ADAS and the panoramic sunroof really make the car feel like a premium product. You get what you pay for.

It's a tough call. Some of the features of the Pack Three are compelling, but the price jump is big. It really depends on how you use it, if you do a lot of long trips and want the latest tech by all means go for it. Otherwise, the lower variants can be used.

I’m actually more interested in the Pack Two. It's going to be somewhere in between features and price, I imagine. The Pack Three appears to be for early adopters who are looking for the best of everything.
Is the premium of the BE 6 Pack Three worth the cost over lower variants?
09 January 2025 11:10
Let’s be real, most people buying an EV in this price range, want the top variant, for the bragging rights. It will sell well because it’s the ‘best’ one, and it doesn’t matter if it’s actually worth it.
How does the BE 6’s in car camera feature stack up against Tesla’s cabin camera?
09 January 2025 11:10
Tesla's camera seems more gimmicky than the BE 6's. Who really needs to take selfies in their car? I mean. Tesla's, at least, has one clear safety purpose.
How does the BE 6’s in car camera feature stack up against Tesla’s cabin camera?
09 January 2025 11:10
Mahindra's approach is something I actually like. It's more fun and it's more social. Car safety doesn’t have to be everything; sometimes, you just want some fun features.

Both have their merits, but privacy is my concern. How safe is the data from these cameras? Before I’d be comfortable with either, I’d want clear information on data handling.

The BE 6 comes with a camera that could be useful for vloggers or those that do a lot of video calls on the go. It’s a niche feature, but I can see it taking off with some users.

Mahindra missed a chance here, I think. The camera could have been both fun and safe, and would have been more useful overall.

We all know that most people will use the selfie feature for a week and then forget about it. Most buyers won’t make or break a decision based on it.

What I’m more interested in is how this camera could develop in future updates. Could driver monitoring features be added later by Mahindra? It would make it more similar to Tesla’s implementation.
Is long term battery degradation going to be a concern with the XUV400's battery?
02 January 2025 05:54
I don't think it will be a big deal. Mahindra's done their homework, and while the thermal management system looks solid, it will be interesting to see how the whole car holds up. On top of that, NMC batteries have already been successfully used in other markets.
Is long term battery degradation going to be a concern with the XUV400's battery?
02 January 2025 05:54
It's definitely a concern. LFP batteries have a reputation for degrading faster than NMC in hot climates. That would worry me about dropping the range significantly after a few years.
Is long term battery degradation going to be a concern with the XUV400's battery?
02 January 2025 05:54
I reckon people are overthinking this. By the time EVs get to the point where battery degradation is a real issue we’ll probably be wanting to upgrade anyway.
Is long term battery degradation going to be a concern with the XUV400's battery?
02 January 2025 05:54
Battery degradation is a valid concern, but it’s not something that just the XUV400 suffers from. This issue will affect all EVs to some degree. The only thing that matters is how Mahindra manages its warranty and support.
Is long term battery degradation going to be a concern with the XUV400's battery?
02 January 2025 05:54
The XUV400 battery, actually, I'm more confident with. I’m hoping they’re using high quality tech, because Mahindra has a partnership with Volkswagen for EV components.

It's a gamble, honestly. We simply don’t have enough long term data on EVs in India to be sure. That’s true for all EV brands here including Mahindra.
