I removed the essential accessory from the invoicing since they could not tell me what that covers.

Pricing for the accessories is still awaited.

Thanks for your response. Are the dates been confirmed ? Any changes you anticipate ? As we have seen that the booking announcement was published across media and also in their official page, we dont see one as of now anywhere from M&M regarding the delivery date. Also did the dealership accept to remove the essential kit from your invoice? I also got to know that many dealerships have brought down the insurance cost to 1.3 to 1.4L after the negative feedbacks that went around. What was your insurance cost ? Sorry,lot of questions

The guy who came to my place for the charger survey told me the same, he told me 26A 4 pole MCB. I was arguing with them as to why they don't provide this since they are charging 75K for the charger and installation costs included and they told that it is instructions from Mahindra not to touch the customer side meter. They will only connect to the output of the MCb we install. This is against a unnecessary hassle as you need to arrange for an electrician to do all this in your own cost and time.

Just received a call from my SA, he claims that Mahindra has now deferred the delivery date to 20-22nd March pan India.

I think it is a fair expectation from Mahindra. Lot of things can go wrong when you play around with the main electrical switchboard and they will be blamed when it does which they want to avoid.

Now you'll have to add 1.87l for road tax

[dthyaga]

Does anyone know how to opt out of the charger? I got a call from the dealer for making payments for the delivery for this month, but I postponed it to next month.

One of the conditions mentioned for opting out of charger is if already a charger is present at customer premise. So do we know if we can get a charger installed from outside and then can opt out of the charger from Mahindra? How will this opt out work exactly? Looking at the posts at least it seems for the first lot of deliveries they are making the charger purchase as mandatory.

If anybody has news on this please do post here.

The insurance amount is still quite high, if you check in Acko with all the optional add-ons added it would still come to around 65K max. Did you try to negotiate on the insurance?

Hi I am a little confused. You mean I need to pay Rs 1.87 lacs road tax while registration at RTO? How could this been avoided?

Hi, Maharashtra Government has recently introduced a 6 percent motor tax on EVs priced above 30 lakhs.

I guess only way to avoid is to get RTO registrations before new Financial year kicks in

Initial quote for insurance was around 1.8L. This is the best I could manage as wanted to avail of cashless facilities at dealer which in most probabilities not possible with Acko. Reproducing my

Good that the insurance has come down to 1.1L from 2L. Did you still opt for the in-house insurance ? What was the challenges you had with ACKO ? I have ACKO quote and I will be availing their service. I denied the insurance from dealership and now opting out the charger also, my on road pricing is approx 31.1L + 60K(Insurance). I dont see any difference between Inhouse and other insurance providers.

Really helpful thanks. When I spoke with Acko they did mention that Mahindra service centers are covered as part of the Acko network so cashless should be available through Acko as well. Usually this is the main point the dealers try to use to sell their insurance. Some of the above items is a little overkill I would say. It looks like they have just added everything into the quote. probably what works for this insurance is the Battery/Motor protection and the tranportation coverage for transfer to Chakan plant.

Nah, indirect taxes are applicable from the date of the budget. And if the RTO registration hasn't happened so far, road tax would become applicable.

At least that's how it usually is. The sales rep said he'll know the exact situation in a day or so.

I got a similar insurance quote from ACKO and i am planning to take from ACKO as well. I checked with folks who have taken from ACKO for XUV700 and there is no challenges as such atleast for the ICE cars. We need to check the coverage from the presective of Electric car(Battery, Electric motor, etc). As far as I can tell from ACKO quote those are covered so I dont see any major difference between what Mahindra offers except for the part where they are covering the transportation cost to Chakan for any battery related issues which might need transport to the factory.
Did you already discuss with your SA for opting out of Charger, please let me know the process and if any challenges with it.

[Gladiator98]

Has anybody’s SA confirmed the delivery over this weekend i.e 15-16th of March ?
