FAQs
-
Will Indian consumers appreciate the design of the AFEELA 1?
23 January 2025 09:54Let’s be honest, at that price point, people will buy it for the brand and tech, not the design. If it has cool features, it could look like a toaster and still sell.
-
What price point will the AFEELA 1 need to be at to be successful in India?
23 January 2025 09:54The price might actually work in its favor. In India, expensive often equals desirable. In fact, it could turn into a status symbol for tech savvy elite.
-
Will Indian EV market be revolutionized by the SHM AFEELA 1?
23 January 2025 09:54Absolutely! This is exactly what India needs to start its EV revolution. With its tech from Sony, its reliability from Honda, and AI smarts, it'll show everyone what the future of driving is.
-
What impact will the AFEELA 1’s AI assistant have on the driving experience in India?
23 January 2025 09:54I think new drivers will find it great. It’s like having an experienced uncle guiding you through the chaos of Indian roads, only without the backseat driving!
-
Can India's notorious road conditions be survived by the AFEELA 1?
23 January 2025 09:54No chance. The fancy gadget on wheels will break down more quickly than a sandcastle in a monsoon. It's made for the smoothest of highways, not for our pothole obstacle courses.
-
Can an Afeela 1 match the range and charging of established EV brands?
23 January 2025 09:48It's definitely a weak point. To be competitive at that price point they really need to up their game in range and charging. It’s cool that the tech features are cool, but not at the expense of core EV performance.
-
Will Afeela's decision to launch in California only pay off?
23 January 2025 09:48It’s probably more a question of limited production capacity rather than anything else. California is being used to test the waters before they ramp up.
-
What will Afeela’s direct to consumer sales model do for it?
23 January 2025 09:48They could make it work, but they need to get the online experience right, and have a good plan for test drives and service. It’s not just about selling, it’s about supporting the product for the long haul.
-
Is the Afeela 1’s $89,900 price tag justified?
23 January 2025 09:48I think it's justified. It's not just a car, you're paying for cutting edge tech from Sony. There are all sorts of entertainment and autonomous features that alone would be worth the premium.
-
Will the Afeela 1’s entertainment centric features hit or miss?
23 January 2025 09:48It's gonna be a hit for sure. In car entertainment will become increasingly important as we progress towards autonomous driving. Afeela could have a major advantage thanks to Sony's expertise in this area.
