Three Above 79 kWh costs ₹2,10,000 more than Three 79 kWh and brings only ₹36,250 of equipment we can put a price on — about 17% of what you pay. Unless you specifically need something in the list below, Three 79 kWh is the better buy.

We price the equipment that separates these two trims. The rest of the difference pays for things we don't itemise — materials, fit and finish, and the manufacturer's own margin. An upgrade that clears 100% is one where the equipment alone is worth what it costs.
