I received my car on March 29, 2025. I’m supremely happy with this car and its the highlight of my day
BHPian kennethomas recently shared this with other enthusiasts:
I received my car on 29th. It was the first BEV by Sireesh they delivered. On the day of the delivery I went on a in city trip with a few people but it stood out absolutely everywhere.
1. Accessories: I got the mats, the mudflaps, the spoiler. Scuff plates weren’t in stock so didn’t get them yet.
2. The Me4u App: I got the app access at the showroom itself. Took sometime to figure out a bunch of different things but largely it was just the app and me for the first five days because:
3. PPF: I got PPF done through The Detailing Mafia in Koramangala, Bangalore. The owner is a car enthusiast himself and it helped a lot because he knew all of my worries about the dismantling etc.
I got the Ultrashield X for 8 years warranty with about three add ons. Ashwin the owner, was more than accommodative to cover the PPF internally on the piano black surfaces for free. As you can see below, I did finish my car with Matte and its a decision very very far from regret. The overall experience was great. The process:
1. They first got a expert consultant who has experience with cars with ADAS. He spent the whole day dismantling all the piano black panels.
2. I could see the work happening throughout on a live stream through Secure 360.
Well tucked, no bubbles, smooth applique and great finishing.
3. I went to see the car on the day of the pick up and it looked absolutely great. Paid the balance and drove off. At the junction I caused a jam on the perpendicular road because I caused a slow down for everyone who wanted to check out the car. At first I thought I blocked a lane, but it wasn’t the case at all. Many such experiences with head turning.
4. The Car: The absolutely beauty and beast of a car
Nothing, and I say nothing compares to driving off with your new vehicle. This was my first ever car delivery because my previous car was a subscription that was unceremoniously delivered at home. The Sireesh guys and Mahindra team present there made me feel like a VIP, something I’m not used to.
I’ve been using the car everyday for work. I still get anxious about the traffic around me but its so easy to drive. I usually drive on Everyday mode with L3 regen.
I’ve not yet tried the Race mode because Bangalore. Haha.
I did try the boost mode and it took off better than my experience with a Dodge Charger I drove in UAE. Its absolutely much more smoother.
My ODO at delivery was at 90kms.
I received the car with 100% charge.
My current ODO is at 290
The current charge is at 38% with an expected range of 192 kms more.
The reason I say all this is because I’ve still not charged the car since delivery. My charger is not installed yet thanks to the my electricity service provider. (Its a bloody hassle in Bangalore. Sort this out before your delivery)
The only issue when I drove off from the showroom was that the trunk wouldn’t completely close. The SA assured me that there will be an update very soon and it will get fixed. However while the car was at the PPF place, it automatically got fixed because the structure and fleshing got used to all the open and closing. Now it works like a charm.
My other concern which doesn’t seem to be very common is the suspension. I feel like I’m doing something wrong with the suspension for it to work perfectly.
Maybe I am a more tolerant guy and I know the early adopters will feel the bite of first time issues, but honestly I’ve not faced anything which I can’t live with. The advantage being that at least I’m not worried about range anxiety due to battery pack, price hike or anything like that. I’m supremely happy with this car and its the highlight of my day. [Trust me, commuting in Bangalore is a journey through hell]
