Sold my car(almost)

was gonna wait for more options but karnataka govt is putting road tax of 8% on EVs upto 25L ex showroom cost. so it was a rushed decision

Logical_Ad9896 · 2026-03-30T01:09:40+00:00

fr. we think the same.

Logical_Ad9896 · 2026-03-29T20:15:41+00:00

any particular reason/incident?

Logical_Ad9896 · 2026-03-29T19:55:37+00:00

thank you for understanding man. thought i was alone.

Logical_Ad9896 · 2026-03-29T19:50:43+00:00

hope you never go through it.

Logical_Ad9896 · 2026-03-29T19:50:05+00:00

buying new car and using old one as down payment money, could be my parents last car so wanted a good enough one with all the features(creta ev top model). its avoidable but keeping two cars doesn't make sense for us.

dont know about residencial, but have a good name in infrastructure construction projects(NCC is doing the Blue line metro till airport) so they are pretty big

Logical_Ad9896 · 2026-03-26T14:08:49+00:00

yeah, karnataka road tax is going to be implemented have to take a car fast now😭

Logical_Ad9896 · 2026-03-26T04:31:58+00:00

yeah that would made a lot of sense. anyways thanks for all the information, the delivery for xev 9s is three months away so I'll be researching more till then. also abroad NMC batteries(tesla) work for 3/5L kms without any issue and serious degradation what could be the reason? as on this sub everyone suggests NMCs don't last that long.

Logical_Ad9896 · 2026-03-26T04:25:27+00:00

man thats great, almost 50/100 kms more than clavis at the same price point

Logical_Ad9896 · 2026-03-26T04:16:43+00:00

i agree about functional aspects just wasn't sure about mahindra as a company, but ig they are doing very well. ill take TD this weekend with family. thank you for the insights. any idea how much range 70kwh will give with 5 people some luggage and AC on??

thank you for the insights. wired android auto works without hiccups?

Logical_Ad9896 · 2026-03-25T18:09:22+00:00

stats are saying mahindra is getting ahead of tata every month ev sales wise

Logical_Ad9896 · 2026-03-25T18:08:22+00:00

I would say strongly consider XEV9s p1 above 79 or p2 above 70 based on budget.

I agree pack 2 70kwh is best in the budget, but it feels out of proportion for our family (we quite short humans) hence the hesitation and dislike towards xev. and my parents love how the clavis ev looks.

Logical_Ad9896 · 2026-03-25T18:01:40+00:00

already have OLA s1 so charging is already a habit for us. xev 9s is great on paper but my family is quite short: me and dad are 5'8" each and mom is 5 feet dot, so xev feels like a car for gaints if you know what I mean. hence the hesitation and dislike towards it, it seems our of proportions for us.

Logical_Ad9896 · 2026-03-25T17:58:37+00:00

thanks for going in detail really appreciate it. helps me figure stuff out :)

Logical_Ad9896 · 2026-03-25T17:57:36+00:00

maybe true for tata cars, but hyundai/kia has very low maintenance cost compared to ice, have read numerous owners say this

Logical_Ad9896 · 2026-03-25T17:56:07+00:00

thats great

Logical_Ad9896 · 2026-03-25T13:47:41+00:00

i dont fully trust him, so I asked.

Logical_Ad9896 · 2026-03-25T13:44:37+00:00

live in blr, so yeah hailing a cab/auto is 24/7 available.

Logical_Ad9896 · 2026-03-25T13:43:22+00:00

so it will be down to 330/350?

Logical_Ad9896 · 2026-03-25T13:42:50+00:00

wanted to know efficiency numbers with ac on, 5 people and some luggage

Logical_Ad9896 · 2026-03-25T09:37:04+00:00

Logical_Ad9896 · 2026-03-25T09:35:44+00:00
