Booked a VF6 Wind Infinity in June, 2 months later dealership has no idea when it will arrive. What should I do next?

I booked a **VinFast VF6 Wind Infinity** in June 2026. Initially, I booked the car in Grey because that was the colour I wanted.

The problem started when the dealership told me they could arrange a **Wind variant**, but not the **Wind Infinity**. The sales executive kept pushing me to take the regular Wind, but I specifically wanted the Infinity roof, so I refused.

A few weeks later, I noticed that VinFast India's website had added a new colour, **Solar Ruby**, which is basically a new metallic red shade. Since the dealership couldn't give me any meaningful update about the Grey Wind Infinity, I contacted them and asked if I could switch my booking to Solar Ruby.

Initially, they had **no idea what Solar Ruby even was**. After checking, they told me they would be able to deliver the Solar Ruby Wind Infinity **by the end of August**.

Now it's August 29.

I contacted the dealership again today, and suddenly the answer is that **they have no idea when Solar Ruby will arrive**.

I've also contacted dealerships in **Ahmedabad, Jaipur and nearby locations**. None of them have any information about Solar Ruby. Every dealership is basically giving me the same answer:

>

At this point, I'm honestly confused about what I should do.

My concerns are:

* I've already been waiting for around 2 months.
* The dealership initially gave me an August-end expectation for Solar Ruby.
* They now say they don't know when it will arrive.
* Other dealerships don't seem to have any information either.
* There doesn't appear to be a reliable delivery timeline for the exact configuration I want.
* I don't want to compromise and buy the regular Wind just because that's what they have available.
* At the same time, I don't want my booking to sit indefinitely with no actual information.

**What would you guys do in this situation?**

Would you:

  1. Keep the booking and wait for the Wind Infinity/Solar Ruby?
  2. Switch back to Grey Wind Infinity if that has a better chance of arriving?
  3. Ask VinFast India directly for a written production/delivery timeline?
  4. Give the dealership a deadline and cancel/refund the booking if they can't provide one?
  5. Try another dealership and transfer the booking?
  6. Or simply wait because this is normal for a newly launched model/colour?

I'd especially like to hear from **VF6 owners or people who have actually received their cars recently**, particularly anyone who ordered **Wind Infinity** or **Solar Ruby**.

I'm not against waiting for the right car. The frustrating part is that nobody seems capable of telling me **whether I'm waiting for 2 more weeks, 2 months, or 6 months**.

What would you do?

See how to enter Drift Mode on the BE 6 after the latest OTA

If your BE 6 has received the latest OTA update, here’s a quick video showing how to access Drift Mode.
Sharing this because I saw a few people asking about it and the option/process isn’t immediately obvious.
Please do this only in a controlled, closed environment and at your own risk.

My model is Pack 3 (June 2026)

Bought a Mahindra BE 6 (P3) a month ago… and now it’s already getting a major dashboard update. Feeling a bit cheated. What are your thoughts?

I took delivery of my Mahindra BE 6 (Pack 3) just about a month ago, and today I came across reports that Mahindra is planning to introduce:
A third passenger display
A redesigned dashboard
A new black-and-tan interior theme
I know that’s how the auto industry works, and manufacturers keep updating cars. But this feels incredibly soon, as the deliveries of this car commenced last year only.
It’s not like I bought the car a year ago. I literally bought it a month back.
What bothers me is that there was no indication of such a significant update when I made my purchase. Had I known a facelift/model year update with a completely revised dashboard was just around the corner, I would have happily waited a few months.
I’m curious:
Would you feel disappointed if this happened to you?
Do manufacturers intentionally keep upcoming updates under wraps to clear existing inventory?
Do you think Mahindra should offer existing BE 6 owners some kind of retrofit for the passenger screen, if technically feasible?
Don’t get me wrong. I still love the car, and it’s one of the best EVs I’ve driven. But seeing a major interior upgrade announced just weeks after my purchase definitely leaves a sour taste.
Would love to hear what the community thinks.

I finally brought home my BE 6 Pack 3, after 7 months of research, comparisons, doubts, and waiting!

Sold my Skoda Slavia and I finally took delivery of my Mahindra BE 6 Pack 3 in Tango Red, and I wanted to thank this community for being a huge part of the journey.

My BE 6 journey started in November 2025 when I seriously began researching my next car. At the time, I was driving a Skoda Slavia 1.0 TSI AT, which I genuinely loved. The plan was to keep it for a few more months and then upgrade.

Over the last seven months, I must have spent hundreds of hours reading posts here and watching reviews. Every possible comparison went through my mind:

BE 6 vs VinFast VF7
BE 6 Pack 2 vs Pack 3
BE6 FE 3 vs Pack 3
ICE vs EV
Practicality vs Performance
Features vs Value
Charging concerns
Long-term ownership concerns

There were times when I almost convinced myself to choose something else. The VF7 especially caught my attention because of its performance and premium appeal. But somehow, every comparison brought me back to the BE 6.
The biggest hurdle wasn’t choosing the BE 6.
The biggest hurdle was letting go of my Slavia.

A few weeks ago, I finally sold it. I won’t lie, it was emotional. I had spent four years and over 45,000 km with that car. Watching it leave genuinely felt like a part of my life was moving on.

But on 17 June 2026, the next chapter began.

Today I took delivery of my Tango Red BE 6, and the moment I saw it under the delivery lights, every month of waiting felt worth it.

The design still feels like something from the future. Every time I walk up to it, I find myself looking back at it again after parking.

Most importantly, I want to thank everyone in this community.

Even when you don’t directly interact with someone, your ownership reviews, charging experiences, range reports, delivery stories, complaints, and honest feedback help future buyers make informed decisions.

Many of the questions I had were answered simply by searching old posts here.

So thank you.

I’m officially a BE 6 owner now, and I’m looking forward to sharing my ownership experience with all of you in the months and years ahead.

From a former Slavia owner to a proud BE 6 owner today.

Need help finding the Mahindra BE 6 Formula E Ride-On for kids.

Back when Mahindra unveiled the BE 6 Formula E Edition, they also showcased the miniature Ride-On version for kids and announced that it would launch in April 2026 for around ₹18,000. I’ve been trying to find it because I want to gift it to my son for his first birthday in July.

I checked with my local Mahindra dealer here in Udaipur, Rajasthan, but they said they have no update at all regarding availability. One salesperson informally mentioned it may have been limited to metro cities or not properly released yet, but nobody seems to know anything concrete.

Has anyone actually seen this Ride-On available anywhere in India? Any dealership, online listing, metro showroom, Mahindra merchandise store, or insider update?

Would genuinely appreciate any leads. Attached below is the model I’m talking about. Thanks!

Need honest resale valuation advice for my 2022 Skoda Slavia Style 1.0 TSI Crystal Blue Color

Details 
2022 model

Style top variant

1.0 TSI

~44,500 km driven

No accidents

No insurance claims ever

Complete service history

Warranty valid till May 2028

Condition is excellent overall

I initially listed it at ₹13.5L, then gradually reduced to ₹11L after almost no serious conversions.
Spinny offered:
₹8.45L initially

₹8.8L max revised offer

I understand aggregators buy low to maintain margins, but I’m trying to understand the actual fair private-party resale value in today’s market.
Realistically:
What price should I expect from an individual buyer?

Is ₹11L still reasonable with extended warranty and clean history?

Or is the market genuinely valuing these cars below ₹10L now?

Would appreciate honest opinions from people familiar with VAG resale trends in India.

My MacBook Pro M1 Pro suffered liquid damage from approximately half a glass of plain RO water spilled over the keyboard while the machine was ON. I immediately shut it down, dried it in inverted V position for multiple days, but unfortunately I did attempt a few power-on tries during the first few hours before fully understanding the risk.

Current situation:
- MacBook Pro M1 Pro
- No boot
- MagSafe was initially blinking orange
- Apple Authorized Service Center opened it and declared the logic board “dead”
- They stated nothing can be done and suggested replacement
- Corrosion is visible around some power delivery components on the logic board (photos attached)

However:
- There are no obvious burnt chips or catastrophic burn marks visible
- Damage appears localized around certain power rail areas

The important part:
I am a filmmaker and my Final Cut Pro project library for an almost-finished film is stored on the onboard SSD. I already have the raw footage backed up externally, but the actual edit timeline, sound work, music placement, and project structure are on the internal storage.

From my understanding, on Apple Silicon Macs the SSD is integrated into the logic board, so board replacement would likely mean permanent loss of that project.

I need honest advice from people experienced with:
- Apple Silicon board repair
- liquid damage repair
- M1 Pro data recovery
- temporary board revival for data extraction

My questions:

  1. Based on the corrosion visible in the photos, does this look realistically repairable?
  2. Is temporary board stabilization for data recovery still possible in such cases?
  3. Are there known specialists in India (or internationally if needed) who specifically handle M1 Pro liquid damage and data recovery?
  4. Is Apple prematurely declaring these cases “dead” because they only do full board replacements?
  5. What should I absolutely avoid doing from this point onward?

I would genuinely appreciate technically informed responses instead of generic “it’s dead” replies. I understand liquid damage is serious. I’m trying to understand whether there is still a realistic path toward recovering the Final Cut project.

Thank you.
