Simple One review after 20,000 km
I have been driving this vehicle for 10 months now and have covered 20,000 km and am satisfied with its performance. Initially, this vehicle had a range of only 130 km, but after a software update, it now has a range of over 150 km. The company says that the range will increase further in future soft adjustments. I drive the vehicle at a speed of 50 kmph in eco mode. I travel at least 120 kmph for at least a day, and even after returning from a trip, I usually have more than 20 percent charge left. There have been no major complaints about the vehicle so far. If I take the vehicle for service, I get it back the same day.
