Would appreciate opinion on this from a vehicle safety perspective of Mahindra Xev9e @autocarindiamag @hormazdsorabjee @SirishChandran @Renuks @FasBeam @rushlane

[Poorvi Malik @poorvi_m]

We have now received Mahindra’s official investigation report regarding our 25-day-old XEV 9e.

Mahindra states that the Electronic Parking Brake (EPB) was engaged while the vehicle was moving and that this caused the rear brake disc to fail.

We respect the investigation, but the report raises several important safety questions that deserve clear answers.

*JUST ESCAPED a LIFE THREATENING incident - from MANUFACTURING DEFECT IN MAHINDRA Xev9E*.
My 25-day-old Mahindra XEV 9e suffered a shocking failure while on road. The left rear brake disc appears broke down, leading to a sudden tyre burst—without any accident or external impact.

[Poorvi Malik @poorvi_m]

If the EPB was indeed engaged while the vehicle was moving…

Why did the vehicle continue to generate drive torque instead of entering a protective mode?

Should a modern ₹30 lakh safety-focused EV allow continued driving until a brake disc shatters?

If the driver’s seat belt was not fastened, the EPB may not auto-release.
Shouldn’t there be -
• Persistent dashboard warning
• Audible alert
• Limited vehicle speed or torque
• Protection against catastrophic brake failure
Why did these safeguards not prevent severe mechanical damage?

This is a genuine safety question.

A premium EV at such price point should never suffer such a critical mechanical failure, which raises serious safety concern for all Mahindra cars out there.
Mahindra service center not giving us any written root cause analysis for this problem since past 4 days.

This should lead to some interesting "debates" 💥

MAC is untreatable - can’t sew to it, can’t dilate it and we see it too late. MRI can see early modifiable MAC. Spatial transcriptomics can reveal what drives it. We stabilized atherosclerotic plaques with statins. Now it’s time to do the same for MAC. #VEITH25 @AlanLumsdenMD

The right answer isn’t always the most complex therapy. CDT compared with MT is quicker, safer, and (more) effective in most - time for the pendulum to swing back 🤝🏾 🫀 #irad #cardiotwitter #endclotporn

Honored to present at @ESVSmembership . With 3T MRI we can now predict which PAD lesions will succeed or fail before ever touching a wire. And for the first time, we’ve captured vessel wall remodeling after IVL+DCB: vascular healing in real time. @AlanLumsdenMD @VascularABC

Interesting…Reminds me of a correlate in another thrombotic state…. “hyperdense MCA sign “ on a non-contrast CT Brain in an acute ischemic stroke!

@somubetageri Okie sir . Great result 👏

[Poorvi Malik @poorvi_m]

@somubetageri Sir what size of supers was used for external iliac artery ?

[Poorvi Malik @poorvi_m]

@somubetageri @_backtable @Vascular_India @ISVIRJUNIORWING @ISVIRIndia @keithppereira Excellent demonstration sir!

[Venkat Tummala MD MBA @t_intheleadcoat]

1 patient, 2 anatomical variants!
Can’t help wondering how it may or may not complicate things when a limb may need salvage in an acute or chronic setting!
Awareness can help and ca+2 trail on flouro can hint too!
Any pointers here when it’s your 1st encounter?

@somubetageri Sir please explain the steps involved.

[Poorvi Malik @poorvi_m]

@wasse_m @ASDINNews @Dialysis_Access @VASAMD @NMawlaMD @robshahverdyan Agreed ma’am … any specific reason to keep the tip of. Catheter at this level ?

Tweetorial about how i approach Acute Limb Ischemia (ALI):
Over the past 9 years with q2 call ive performed hundreds of ALI cases, my approach is endo first using mostly Penumbra for past 7 years with excellent limb salvage over 95% for ALI 1/2a/2b and compartment syndrome 5-10%
