Interested with the premium version to be used as a daily commute to work. My travel is 60km per day with every night top up charging. Should be more than enough. Waiting for others for feedback and test drive.

Because cannot share showroom with existing Proton, need to be standalone e.Mas branding.

Some said emas features lesser then the actual one from geely, plus the price bit high

Actually price wise I do think it's competitive but the image of Proton that actually did nothing for the development of the car really bothers me and probably others as well. If it comes as Geely and they setup their own sales and service network just like Cherry, GWM and SAIC, it might actually take off.

All the hype this year likely to fulfil their political obligations as local car manufacturer.

If they retain their quality management approach to new models, highly unlikely we see any deliveries to customers before 2026.

Geely hasn't helped Proton in any way, those models that they rebadge Proton have to pay out of pocket, plus pay Geely billion ringgit contract for spare parts and rights to use. Problem is the way Geely running the company, pixx off all the local suppliers as well. Walk into Proton SC today and see all the spare parts, all with Geely logo, which means is imported direct from China and not through local industry.

Perodua don't have this issue. When they launch a model it is 90% local content. I have way more confidence in Perodua nowadays, and the main failures of old models like Myvi was the ride and handling, floating on highway speeds. Now already solved because so many ex-Proton engineers jumped over, again due to Geely management.

IIRC Proton/Geely always had exemption because they "promise" to increase local content in whatever period of time. CBU X70 also had local tax rebate, that's why you see CBU vs CKD not much price difference if at all. Compare standard spec to spec, not executive and above since got equipment difference, CBU and CKD price only 5k difference. 5% only for 100k car.

S70 launch I remember they promise to reach 70% in two years. Which means launch time is what, 30%? Not good enough for so called local car brand, when Perodua is launching Alza at 90% local content at launch.

where's the location of roadshow to test drive the eMAS 7 ?

In case don't wanna pay subscription to Proton got any alternative like using eSim from Digi/Maxis etc? I believe current X50 / X70 also have similar connected vehicle service, so maybe owners can chime in.

SA from tiktok mentioned esim capabilities so i think shud be fine. (If this is true)
