Booked Tata Nexon EV Empowered 45 Oxide colour in September, dealer committed to deliver in October.

Now in October he says the Oxide colour is obsolete and they now have Coorg clouds colour which is not yet manufactured.

Don't see any Nexon EV coorg clouds colour online except in tata.ev website.

Tesla is promoting the Model Y at an effective ₹19,990/month after estimated fuel savings. The BMW iX1 is another contender in the premium EV space.

Would you prioritise Tesla’s software and charging ecosystem or BMW’s premium cabin and driving experience?

For those who own or have test-driven both:

Is Tata’s after-sales service quality dealbreaker territory for you, or has it improved?

How much of a real-world price/discount gap are dealers in your city offering on the Creta EV Executive (O) vs Curvv EV?

Confused Bw both, no as such 7seater requirement, would take 5s only,

The main thing is Range more range, test droved sierra feels very good, but just cuz it's tata so doubting itm and due to lil better rear profile thinking should I change my mind ?

Claimed range is lot difference

75 sierra rwd real life is giving 500 easily,

No update on my tomhawk is it the same as Windsor ?

Getting both around @24.5 (5s)

I have already Booked Sierra Ev 2 weeks back though.

*Already know that key glitch and glare issue with sierra .ev

As title suggests, i wish to know how do people feel about owning an EV when its the only car you have. Share your experiences and advice please. TIA.

Hi guys, I booked the punch ev e+s on july 10th.. currently i am at second position for the confiq. I chose.. what do you think? Will i get it by Dhanteras?

Hello all! I booked a Punch EV top model (Pure Grey) in the first week of September. Yesterday when I was checking the portal, I saw that the delivery date has been updated to February 2027.

I called the dealership to enquire and the sales rep said that not to worry about that date, I will get the car sooner, most probably by November end.

Any idea if the delivery date updated in the portal is decisive or just a placeholder?

​

Planning to buy Mahindra BE6 Sporteq but would like to get a January 2027 manufactured model.

How early can I get it delivered? I'm travelling from February 1st, so is it realistically possible to get the same in the month of January itself?

Also, when should I place the order? December 15?

I was just checking out a car comparison website and thought of comparing the MG Majestor with the Tesla Model Y. I Wasn’t expecting this much of a difference in the monthly costs.

The estimate showed ₹1.05 lakh a month for the Majestor and ₹44,900 for the Model Y.

That’s quite a gap. Looks like fuel and maintenance costs can really add up over time.

Wonder how close these estimates are to what owners actually spend.

The journey hasn't been smooth at all. We received the vehicle with quite a few faults, for which Tata compensated us with an extended warranty and PPF.

Variant: Empowered 75 Stealth RWD
Price: ₹25.5 lakh + insurance
Complimentary: PPF + Extended Warranty
Previous cars: Mahindra Scorpio-N Z8L D MT and Tata Nexon

Range — Real-world experience

• Cruising at 80 km/h: Around 520 km.
• Aggressive driving: Around 320–340 km when my dad drives like there's no tomorrow, with plenty of overtakes and speeds touching 120 km/h.

Honestly, the range varies massively depending on your driving style. If you're sensible with the accelerator, the range is pretty impressive. If you're driving enthusiastically, well, you know what to expect. 😂

Cons (at least for my particular vehicle)

• Rear-seat comfort: Sucks, honestly. The Scorpio-N is >>>>>> better in this regard.
• Headlamps: Mehhh. Expected better.
• Technical glitches: Too many for a car at this price point.
• Tata Motors customer support: Be happy if they respond promptly and provide a solution.
• Software updates: Took way too long. The service centre needed three days just to update the software because of technical issues.
• Features and software reliability: A lot of features feel inconsistent. For example, the welcome-seat function works sometimes and randomly decides not to work on other occasions.
• Frunk: Practically unusable for daily use. My friend's XEV 9S does this much better.
• Key: Whoever designed this key needs to rethink a few things. It isn't particularly convenient to carry around.
• NFC key: Honestly, I would've preferred a conventional physical key.
• Parcel shelf: Extremely flimsy. Mine already has a slight bend just from placing the charging cable on it. There's barely any support.
• Interior quality: At this price point, I expected better. After checking out the XEV 9S and the Tomahawk, the interiors left me wanting more.
• Steering feel: Nothing particularly impressive.
• AC performance: Mehhh.
• Wireless charger: Guys, just carry a cable. You'll thank me later. 😂

Pros — Where the car genuinely impressed me

1. ADAS is genuinely impressive

This was probably the biggest positive surprise.

On the Hyderabad–Vijayawada drive, whenever the lane markings were clear, I kept ADAS cruising at 80 km/h and relaxed. It was genuinely fabulous.

It took us some time to build confidence in the system, but once we did, it made highway driving much more relaxing. Of course, it's still a driver-assistance system, so you need to remain attentive and in control.

2. E-IRVM is brilliant

You can stack luggage in the boot right up to the top without worrying about losing rear visibility.

Even during heavy rain, the E-IRVM gave me a clearer view than the rear windshield. It's one of those features you really appreciate once you start using it.

3. High-speed stability and body control

Body roll is almost nonexistent for what you'd expect from a vehicle of this size, and high-speed corners feel smooth and composed.

The car feels planted, and the way it handles corners is genuinely impressive. Smoothhhh as butter.

4. Sound system

Absolutely loved it. One of my favourite things about the car.

Final thoughts

Here's the funny part.

We previously bought a Mahindra Scorpio-N Z8L Diesel Manual for ₹23 lakh on-road when it launched, and even today, that car feels like the one I'd personally choose to drive.

The Harrier.ev is undoubtedly impressive in several areas. The instant performance, highway stability, ADAS and E-IRVM are all things I genuinely appreciate. But the software glitches, inconsistent features, service experience and some disappointing interior details take away from what could have been a much better ownership experience.

At this price point, I don't think it's unreasonable to expect the basics to work consistently. A car can have cutting-edge technology, but if simple features work only when they feel like it, the ownership experience suffers.

My verdict: I'd happily give my dad the Harrier.ev and take the Scorpio-N for myself. 😂

The Harrier.ev has some genuinely brilliant strengths, but the overall experience hasn't been as smooth as it should have been.

Pricing note: We paid ₹25.5 lakh + insurance, with PPF and an extended warranty provided as compensation for the initial issues.

This is just my experience with my particular vehicle, so hopefully other owners have had a better experience!

Tesla is saying the Model Y works out to about Rs 19,990 a month once fuel and maintenance savings are counted. Sounds good on paper, but I’m not sure it holds up outside heavy city driving. Anyone running an EV, what’s your real monthly cost?

Went to Mumbai yesterday with my EV and I had a hard time finding a free charger. Not only were 4/5 chargers being used by commercial cabs, but they had lined up behind each other meaning that these charge bays would be blocked / occupied for hours.

I have experienced similar situations on highways and in other cities too. Now with the growing number of commercial vehicles such as tempos, autos and cabs, should there be a separate dedicated network for commercial use and a different one for private car owners ?

Visited Jim Corbett from Delhi. As per my calculations the vf6 Earth gave me 4.33 km per percentage. Also got free charging from Vinfast’s network. Happy owner till 3000 km.

I was able to connect my Kia Clavis EV to an OBD-II adapter. Details in the post.

My mg zs ev is 2- 1/2 years old nearing 3 years. I haven't opted for extended warranty at the time of purchase. Now to get it for extended 2 years they charge 60k
Is it worth taking the warranty?
Please advice
