@RajneetiTadka It’s better to ignore and proceed. I have started believing in Karma and my pepper spray.

@volklub My father’s perfectly maintained 2013 27k run Alto k10 nowadays feels rough, vibrates a bit in idling. Mounts were changed. Mileage has definitely dropped. Cold starts are lethargic.

Whoever that was driving that car, @ReporterLive please teach some common sense and courtesy, roads are not meant for racing #reporterlive @KeralaMvd #keralamvd #palakkad #keralam

[RavinRak @mechtraveller]

@ReporterLive your driver/reporter driving a KL07DE3573 Swift almost put me and my family in danger. Your driver dangerously overtook us from the left, came close and almost hit my car.

I had to suddenly apply the brakes as he forcefully stopped me merge. Location: Stadium bypass and Coimbatore road junction. What if a bus or a truck rear ended my car? Your person might be in a hurry to reach somewhere, but not at the cost of others life.

Ahmedabad is a hopelessly boring Tier 2 city. Please don’t move here.

Living here is an absolute nightmare:

• Zero Adrenaline: Women are just casually roaming around at 2 AM eating ice cream without fearing for their lives or dodging intense police naka bandis. Where is the survival thrill?

• No Linguistic Pride: If you don't speak Gujarati, nobody even threatens to beat you up or smash your shop's signboards. They just awkwardly reply in broken Hindi. Absolutely no passion!

• No Traffic Trauma: The roads are so wide and well planned that you actually reach your destination in 20 minutes. How am I supposed to finish my audiobooks or rethink my life choices during a 3 hour bumper to bumper commute?

• Missing Action: Someone bumps into your vehicle, and they just say sorry and pay you instead of pulling out a hockey stick. No street fights, no "Tu jaanta nahi mera baap kaun hai." So dull.

• Zero Aesthetic Culture: No underground drug or Udta Punjab vibes. Just boring, safe, sober families existing everywhere.

Honestly, it’s unbearable. Please stay in your happening metro cities, enjoy spending half your life in traffic and keep breathing that sweet AQI 1000 air.

Between ethanol percentage & DPF headache, I will always pick Diesel DPF BS6 headache.

I actually picked one too last October. Driven only 6000 km yet but let it be…

One 150 km highway run in 20 days is ok to keep things under check.

There are 4-cyl fuel efficient gems like Altroz Diesel, 3XO, Syros and Venue at extremely VFM price. Paying fines for Diesel sales should be brand’s headache and not yours.

Just get one and drive it as much as possible for 6-8 yrs.

@RoadsOfMumbai Mitsubishi, Hitachi, O General or Panasonic. Would have recommended Daikin but it seems you have suffered a bad experience.

[RavinRak @mechtraveller]

@mainbhiengineer Normally I stay at the service centre and work from their lounge if the job gets done by evening.

@maahirpanchal Indians basically have a false sense of superiority when they drive an SUV. Bigger the car, the more you can bully. BTW, I also have a Gurkha.

[RavinRak @mechtraveller]

@maahirpanchal I was driving my Wagon R on a straight road. A useless Chapri in his chaprified Scorpio was flashing his lights (blinding LEDs, not surprising) at the front to forcefully stop me as he wanted to take a right turn.

No charging! That’s a ₹20 lakh+ car… parked like a normal car…bought 3 months ago.

But the society has refused to allow him to install a charger… because he lives on rent.

Now imagine this.

Instead of simply plugging in at home, he has to search for a public charger. What should have been the biggest advantage of owning an EV… home charging… is completely gone.

And this is not a one-off story.

Even auto creator Gaurav Yadav recently highlighted similar issues in Gurgaon where societies are denying EV charging access in basements, often citing safety concerns or vague rules.

The irony is that India’s own EV guidelines actually encourage installation of private chargers in residential parking spaces to promote adoption.

So on one side, the government is pushing EVs.

On the other side, societies are quietly blocking them.

And the worst part? Renters suffer the most.

If you own the flat, you can fight it. If you’re on rent, you’re stuck between landlord, RWA and rules that keep changing.

This is the hidden cost of EV ownership in India. Until this mindset changes, EV adoption in cities will always hit a wall.

[RavinRak @mechtraveller]

@end3of6days9 Definitely, by all means.

[Sunderdeep - Volklub @volklub]

Commercial registration of cars like Aura & Dzire shouldn’t be counted in passenger car sales report.

There has to be some way to find out how many are registered with yellow plates. This doesn’t give the real picture to analyse things.

With this logic all Bolero Pik Up & Campers should be counted under Mahindra sales too.

[RavinRak @mechtraveller]

@volklub Very expensive view I say.

[RavinRak @mechtraveller]

@samspamscam @CPPuneCity @PuneCityPolice @PuneCityTraffic @nachiket1982 @DefenceBrat Well, atleast he has a “plate”. I see a rising number of cars being driven without any number plates,

[RavinRak @mechtraveller]

@themodernhp A nudge and a swipe is all that is required to teach him a lesson
