Hey everyone,

I have an XEV 9e Pack One 59Kwh and I’m based in Delhi, where temperatures are currently hovering around 43°C.

I recently received my first OTA update and installed it immediately. But right after the update, I noticed a significant drop in the estimated range.

Before the update, a full charge used to show around 520 km estimated range. Since the update, even after doing 2 full charge cycles, it now only shows around 470 km.

I understand that the displayed range isn’t the actual real-world range, but such a sudden drop right after an OTA update is concerning.

Another thing I’ve noticed is that my efficiency in this heat hardly touches 5–6 km/kWh now. Earlier, I was consistently getting at least 7 km/kWh.

So I wanted to ask:
- Has anyone else experienced a range drop after the recent OTA update?
- Is this kind of efficiency drop normal in extreme Delhi summer temperatures?
- Does the BMS recalibrate over time after updates, or should I get this checked?

Would appreciate hearing from other owners.

I’m a Data Engineer with 6.6 years of experience, mainly working with PySpark, SQL, Airflow, and Python in banking/fincrime data platforms.

I’m stuck between two career options and wanted unbiased opinions from people who’ve gone through similar mid-career decisions.

### Option 1 — Stay at current company (banking domain)

Current compensation:
- 28 LPA fixed + bonus

They really want me to stay and are ready to counter aggressively.
Current discussion is around:
- ~44 LPA fixed
- ~10% bonus
- Possible title correction/promotion as well

Pros:
- Massive immediate compensation jump
- Financially this changes a lot for me
- Strong internal goodwill/reputation already built
- Stability and comfort
- Better short-term wealth creation

Cons:
- I’ll most likely continue doing what I’m already doing for the next 2 years
- When I joined, the role was great because I was newer to data engineering and learning a lot
- But now I genuinely feel my skills have started stagnating
- Work is still more traditional banking/fincrime DE work
- Concerned about long-term technical growth and market positioning

### Option 2 — Join a product company GCC being newly set up in India

Offer:
- 40 LPA fixed
- 6 LPA bonus

One reason I’m considering it seriously is because this GCC is being built from the ground up here.

Pros:
- Product company environment
- New GCC means new systems/problems/processes being built
- I expect the tech stack itself to still be mostly PySpark/SQL/Airflow/data engineering related
- But I’ll probably face newer engineering problems and broader ownership
- Better learning scope and exposure
- Potentially stronger engineering culture and product mindset
- Might improve long-term career trajectory

Cons:
- Immediate pay is still lower than current company’s counter
- I’ll probably need a couple of years to reach the same compensation
- Risk of leaving an already strong internal position
- New org uncertainty since GCC is still being set up

---

My dilemma is basically:

Do I optimize for:

1. Massive compensation correction right now
   OR

2. Better long-term engineering growth and future positioning?

Some additional context:
- I eventually want to move toward stronger engineering/system design/GenAI-oriented roles over the next few years.
- Wealth creation matters to me a lot.
- But I also don’t want to become someone who is highly paid in a stagnant niche and struggles later because of outdated exposure.

Would genuinely appreciate advice from people who’ve faced similar “money vs growth” choices around the 6–8 YOE stage.

Have guys seen any updates for pack one be6/9e since the launch? It seems mahindra doesn't support in terms of updates which is bad. Either don't sell or provide support
