I bought a Skoda Kylaq Signature plus variant recently and so far its been good experience. However there's a little annoying thing I noticed is that when I press my leg on accelerator it takes about 2 second to get the acceleration. Is this normal in all skoda cars? I don't press the accelator fully as it gives a jerk but even when I apply accelarator slowly jt should not have the lag right? I have driven Maruti & Hyundai and didn't face this delay much.

Have been investing since 2019 and portfolio size has grown now. All my investment is in India and past two years have been quite bad while on the other hand US market keep hitting higher and higher. From Past few months I have been thinking about diversifying my portfolio and get exposure to US and emerging markets.

I discussed this with my financial advisor and he didn't recommend it saying in long term India market and US market would give similar return while taxation is complicated.

I am planning to go ahead anyway. Here's few questions I need opinion

1. Am I doing the right thing diversifying my portfolio to US market?
2. Which app should I use? IndMoney seems to be the easiest choice but have heard good things about vested too
3. What is the transaction fee banks charge to add and redeem US dollars
4. Should I do SIP or lumpsum investment once a quarter
5. Right now I have thought about investing in ETF only, VOO and QQQM is my choice right now, are these ETF the best choice?
6. given the AI race the AI stocks have gone bonkers, 3 months back I thought these stocks have gone way higher and would cool down but these went more high, so should i buy individual AI stocks? If yes then could you suggest me some stocks that have good potential?
7. How complicated is the Taxation part? If I don't sell any stocks or ETF would I still need to go through the complicated process?
