Got the car delivered today. The surprise rain in Delhi didn't let us take proper pictures and even after trying to clean up the car thrice, it ended up reaching home all dirty. Will be sharing some pictures soon. Anyone else buying the Max please note that there is a square hump near the driver seat because of which the old Nexon 3D/7D mats are not compatible with the Max. If you put them they are quite raised and don't fit perfectly. Had already paid for them and SA confirmed in writing will take 7-10 days to get the new mats. Have installed a set of universal mats I had in spare for now.

The boot mat / mud flaps / door visor fit perfectly well. Got the sun shades too as they are quite useful in Delhi heat and were of decent quality. Decided to get the door guards installed as well but thanks to the rain it was not possible to paste them. Will get it done when I go to get the mats. Got both the keys but one remote which again will take 60-90 days to come due to chip shortage.

The official brochure of dealer states zero dep as 68k here. I found it to be very reasonable compared to other city dealers.

The battery has 8 years warranty anyways so nothing specific covered related to that. Have opted for everything else including Zero Dep, Consumables, RTI, Key cover etc.

Attaching some pictures I clicked this morning after cleaning and installing the door guards myself.

Charged the car yesterday form 61% to 81% just to check the charger and everything else is working as expected. Took 3.5 hours approx to add 20% of battery with 3.3kW charger. In future I plan to plug in the car at around 25-30% SOC around 8.30pm post my office and by 8-8.30 in morning it should be 100% I think. Also the Zconnect app finally started working yesterday afternoon, 3rd day after KYC done by dealer (SA told to wait 48-72 hours).

Also while driving found this feature of car displaying directions and music controls even after exiting the CarPlay interface pretty cool and useful. The same were being displayed in the MID as well. However this was only working with apple maps and google maps don't display the directions neither on centre screen or on MID.
