I went for my 3rd road trip on BE6, covered 1815 kms in 5 days.
Few observations if you drive below 85 kmph you get the best range 7-8 km/kwh
85-96 kmph you get 6-7 km/kwh
100-123 kmph around 5-6 km/kwh
130+ anything goes below 4km/kwh

all this in range mode
Adaptive cruise and lane control works very well , part of my drive was 6 lane highway, so I set it up at 118kmph to avoid the continous beeps , but never really take your hands off steering or eyes off road, it’s a good feature which helps you drive easier on highways but with how other people drive here it can’t be so easy.

also a minus point of adaptive cruise control is at points where you can overtake at same speed, it hits the brakes drastically because it detects the vehicle in the front to be too close, so manual acceleration override is helpful else the experience becomes jerky, similar situation happens at turnings even though there is no vehicle on your lane.

Overall I loved the driving experience, especially when for a certain time I was driving in 140-160 kmph range , top speed which I hit 180 kmph without even realising or pushing hard for it, for driving experience BE6 has,if people complain so much about hardsuspension I don't mind it, though even in City Drive I found suspension to be ok, not as bad as people complain.(it was a fairly empty stretch on six lane highway, else 120 kmph is safe limit to drive on our roads)

Charging was not an issue , 60 kw chargers are available at 100 kms roughly, Tata’s charging network I have found to be the most dense and reliable in last 7 months.

if anyone of you have any questions , do let me know

edit:- It costed me ₹6403 along with 1 full AC charge at Home(around ₹400/-)
total ₹6803/- expensive when you charge outside but still half cost if it was ICE engine car

I had recently posted about my BE6’s paint bubbling on the right rear door. And I had asked about warranty claim.
Yesterday I gave my car to the service centre and showed them this. They checked the paint depth and got back to me 4 hours later and told me that the panel will be repainted and the warranty claim will be passed.
So just updating and here to say that I’m quite satisfied with Mahindra and my BE6.

Recently went on a 15 day road trip through MP in my BE6. Wrote about the charging infrastructure and the do's and don'ts. Let me know what you think and if you have any questions.

The km/kwh is showing very high, is it some sort of bug or do I need a software update?

Also additionally i don't hear any sound coming from the top front speakers above the head. Is it some setting that has to be changed or is it normal?

Hey 👋

After the recent app we made, to get soh and now the Soh values is not available in Mahindra servers at all, they removed it, so that app is totally dead 😥, so I made a new tiny app which gets your charging data and predicts the battry's SoH value based on it , it might not be accurate 100% but it will be close to the accurate value and might have ~3-4% of variation in predicted and orignal soh value of the battry !

Is Anyone interested in this kinda app ! If yes then let me know in the comments, I'll make this thing open-source as well if more people wants to know their battery health 😁

Got car (Pack 3 : 79kwh) delivered on Sunday. Drove it to detailer at about 30-40km/hr. Only 79km on the odometer so far. The range shown at the showroom was 385km & at the detailer today its showing 310km with aircon.

The showroom guy said that the range will normalise once i start driving & after a few charges.

Is this normal? Images attached

Deepforest , sometimes it looks grey , olive green and black , this colour is unique 🍀 I loved it

Hi everyone,
I have attached the quotations for both the BE 6 Pack 1 (₹20.46L) and Pack 2 (₹23L).
I am close to booking one of them and wanted some advice from existing owners or anyone who’s been through the same decision.
Which one do you think offers the better value for money?
Looking at the quotations, is there anything else I should negotiate or ask the dealership for?
Any hidden charges, accessories or add-ons I should be careful about?
Anything you wish you had negotiated before taking delivery?
Also, there seems to be a lot of discussion online about a possible variant refresh/update coming soon. If that’s true, would you just book any one of them and wait until mid-August before finalising the variant, or just go ahead now? I’m good with pack one if it gets some additional features from one above. Else if two gets 360 camera that would entice me for pack two as the speakers are much better there too and it’s a big plus for me.
Would really appreciate any advice. Thanks!

This price is being quoted by a dealership for a january manufactured BE6 pack 3 11kwh charger that has been sitting on their lot. 2.5 lakhs is the standard discount that is being offered across dealership and they are not willing to budge anymore.
