One user commented, “We have ability to make Bahubali Racket, new innovated cars, what about service? pathetic condition… you can see videos of every car owners experience of service in YouTube.”Another person wondered, “Am I the only one who gets frustrated by how slowly things move in India for the ordinary citizen?” Someone else added, “Glad to see someone highlight the service issues of brands other than Ola Electric.”However, not everyone saw humour in the protest; many were upset that donkeys were made to pull a car, calling the act outright animal cruelty.© IE Online Media Services Pvt Ltd
