The Mahindra Thar.e concept is loaded with advanced features and technology, sparking questions on whether it will lose traditional off-road enthusiasts. They are likely to feature sophisticated traction control systems, multiple driving modes, and perhaps even a little autonomous off road abilities. These technologies promise to make the vehicle safer and more capable, but there's a question as to whether they detract from the 'pure' off roading experience that many enthusiasts will insist is important. Others say that these features make off roading more accessible to novices, which could grow the community. But other offroaders worry about depending too much on technology; they worry that basic skills and a connection to the terrain that are so core to this culture will be lost. This broader debate on tradition and modernity in automotive enthusiasm is touched upon.
