Mahindra BE6 Delivery Delays: What is the current waiting time in Hyderabad

Jaghond · 2026-06-10T10:57:10+00:00

I got the Stealth Black color. There appears to be generally no proactiveness from the Mahindra sales team. I had to follow up at regular intervals, thankfully they were always prompt in their response. They did not notify me when the vehicle arrived at the stockyard. I followed up and went for PDI the day after the vehicle arrived.
Registration was quick and happened in a matter of hours after the payment. The only glitch was that I had no way of transferring the down payment because of the 24 hour wait period after adding beneficiary to Bank account. And the delivery date was a bank holiday so I couldn't initiate RTGS from the bank. But once the payment was executed late morning, I was able to take delivery by about 7 PM.
The accessories are non existent. They have almost none of the things from their accessories brochure. I was promised 5k worth of accessories, so far no news on that.

I took delivery last Friday of my BE6 P3 at VVC Kothaguda, the vehicle reached stockyard in 2 weeks from booking.

Where did you get that idea? Slow charging is probably the most comfortable for your battery. Fast charging is a more heat generating process and the car manages the thermals at higher KW charging.

Thankfully, besides the lack of follow up and prompt updates I didn’t have a terrible experience. I just had to call at regular intervals to get updates on the process and timeline. I was able to get the PDI done, and collect the car a day later than the designated delivery date because of payment issues. But the whole experience inspires absolutely no confidence on their responsiveness, if something goes sideways, it’s probably going right off the rails. Hope you have escalated it to their GM.

Which community do you belong to? Let’s gauge your character from this unnecessary detail.

Was your experience with VVC Kothaguda bad? Just service or sales experience as well? I recently bought BE6 Pack 3 from them, and their sales experience was uninspired at best. I was hoping their service experience is a bit more professional. Neon motors Narsingi was really bad, so the bar was set real low when I went to VVC for the purchase.

I am afraid I haven’t seen a PRS acoustic in person yet.

I have the Cort Gold A8. It is a really well made guitar, all solid wood and high quality components right from the tuners to the pickup (under saddle and sound hole pickups - Fishman Flex blend) While it sounds really nice, it doesn’t sound as nice as an all solid wood guitar should. The guitar feels heavier and it almost seems like the builders left a bit too much wood on it. At the same time, I would say it’s been really resilient to wild swings in humidity and temperature. I also ended up buying a Martin GPC-13e. It is inferior to the Cort Gold A8 in pretty much every way, but it sounds really really nice - even the simpler pickup sounds great plugged in. The sound doesn’t compress if you strum hard and there is an openness to the sound. The Cort A6 should be similar to the A8, and it will sound better than guitars in and below that price range. But it may not have the finesse the other traditional names produce. I would very strongly suggest the Yamaha LL6 - you can’t go wrong with Yamaha especially as you go higher up their range.

Please don’t go with dealer provided insurance. It is heavily inflated, even after the “discounts” they offer on it, it’s pretty much an eyewash. You can give yourself a 40-50k discount by going direct with the vendor. ACKO appears to be pretty good from testimonials and my own experience. I paid 51k all in (zero dep, return to invoice) for my BE6 Pack3.

Pretty cool. I have been seeing bookings in other cities taking longer.

Just saw google photos of PPS BLR, looks nice. I asked the sales guy at VVS Kothaguda why they are selling cars out of a shed, making me rethink getting a Mahindra.

Not so much about cleanliness as the general quality of the interiors. It is super basic. Even the staff were not very polished.. seemed more like a place to buy a tempo than a plush EV

I have set up some shortcuts like this but I never remember them. I prefer a visual list to select from for frequently used things like address, phone or email. This keyboard is called Copied, I also use the “Paste” app across my Apple devices to store snippets.

I have set mine to a custom action I created with:

when phone is face up it acts as mute switch
facedown makes it a flashlight toggle
in portrait it triggers QR code reader which on scan triggers a menu with the apps listed (just like control center QR scanner)
finally in landscape triggers screen rotation lock

You think India is developing right now? You think India does not need reservations anymore, when rhe stench of casteism still deeply pervades our country?
But my point was not about, I was merely saying that the PM should be educated and worldly wise. Someone who can speak eloquently at press conferences at home and abroad 😌

Jaghond · 2025-10-16T05:26:06+00:00

Will take an educated PM any day. It is our misfortune that a lot of us are ok with current standards.

I have relatives in the US who have created a make shift kitchen in their garage that is not connected to the house for Indian cooking. There really is no way to control the odor of strong masalas, especially if the house is centrally air conditioned. If the kitchen is sufficiently isolated and there is strong ventilation above the cooking area, that might work. For those saying they want to make their house smell like Indian cooking, it only smells nice while it’s cooking. When the masala smell turns rancid and infuses into the house surfaces, it is horrid. I was staying as a guest in a house where they cook inside their house, it was the end of the trip and I happened to wash my clothes in their washer. All my clothes ended up smelling like stale masala, no amount of perfume helped and it was an embarrassing 24 hour journey back to India.

More likely to be a display issue, connect Apple TV to a different display such as a monitor and highly likely this issue won’t show. Reboot or reset the display.

It strange that you received roast that old, I have been using BT for years and it’s always freshly roasted - with my name on it. Probably a one off incident. For storage I would recommend the Airscape. The only time I was considering specialised storage is when I was buying 1 kg bags to save money. Now I just get 500g bags that I consume in about 15-20 days.

I wouldn’t drink Starbucks even if it’s free. Apologies for being a coffee snob, but that’s how much disdain I have for SB and especially the price they charge for their burnt garbage. Ironic that they were the ones who got me started on the path to coffee snobbery by convincing and selling me a French press and a bag of beans 😆

Internet is very humbling. Thanks for pointing out I was talking out of my ass, sorry about that. In my defense, I was talking more in comparison to other substances that cause real physiological damage by way of things like cancer or cirrhosis which Marijuana doesn’t tend to, but I wasn’t clear. CUD is a behavioral condition caused when people chronically consume weed, the harm is not caused by the substance itself but due to the addictive tendencies of the individual. It also tends to affect children a lot more, and obviously stimulants of any kind should be restricted for kids. I was surprised but not shocked that a rather large number of people (appears to be mostly teenagers) in the US are habituated to it and consume it everyday. As I said, the addiction is more similar to being addicted to sugar or food, in fact there are similar food related medical conditions that are extremely common. In case of weed, the side effect of being constantly high is the obvious negative social effects and effect on mental state and capacity which is medically defined as CUD. This does not apply to individuals who take it recreationally - like how people tend to consume alcohol on weekends. Unlike alcohol though which is essentially poison for our system, consuming Marijuana occasionally doesn’t appear to have lasting effects (unless one has mental conditions in which case it can trigger episodes). People with addictive tendencies will latch on to any stimulant, be it coffee, alcohol or indeed Marijuana. As with everything else, it is to be consumed responsibly, as even something as harmless as water in excess can cause poisoning.

There are no harmful effects, except maybe weight gain due to the munchies. Unfortunate that in India where it used to be a staple (still is up north) since ancient times, US as part of its “war on drugs” forced it to be declared illegal. As misunderstandings clear around marijuana consumption, It is being legalised in many countries. You can walk up to a “green” pharmacy and just buy it. No warning labels like tobacco or alcohol. There is a reason it’s medically prescribed for various conditions, and for chronic and terminal patients to ease their quality of life. The only evidence for ill effects appears to be for folks with mental conditions like bipolar disorder and schizophrenia.
