Is the party trick feature of the Mahindra XEV 9e really useful, or just a gimmick?
The Mahindra XEV 9e has been generating buzz thanks to a party trick that lets the car do a choreographed dance routine, using its doors, trunk and side mirrors in sync. This feature has certainly attracted attention, and made waves on social media, but there's a discussion as to whether it actually provides any practical value, or if it's merely a marketing ploy. But some say it's a great way to showcase the car's technology, and to make people feel like they have a connection to their car, while others think it's a waste of engineering time that could have been spent on something more important. This feature sparks a discussion around how modern car design should strike a balance between innovation, entertainment and practicality, and particularly in the hotly contested electric vehicle market, where manufacturers are always on the lookout for something to differentiate themselves.

It’s not gimmicky, it’s part of the whole experience of owning a high tech EV. It makes the car more alive and more interactive.

What if it malfunctions and starts dancing while you’re driving? It sounds like a safety hazard begging to happen.

It might be fun at first, but I bet owners will use it a few times and that will be it. Novelty will wear off quick.

It could prove useful when you want to make sure all doors as well as the trunk are working fine. It's a built in diagnostic dance.

It’s actually pretty clever marketing. It gets people talking about the car, sharing videos online. Free advertising!

Useless feature. But I’d rather have better range or faster charging than a dancing car. First Mahindra should focus on the basics.

I love it, it’s a total gimmick but I love it! Everybody wants their car to dance. It’s like a giant, expensive robot pet.
