Looking closely, one can also spot the sequential turn indicators. Someone driving on the road captured the entire video from the rear and the front.

Author’s Note
The electric vehicle market is gaining momentum in India, and it’s noteworthy that Indian car manufacturers are leading this transition. Tata Motors, for instance, currently commands over 80% market share in the Indian EV market. The company has successfully transformed its internal combustion engine (ICE) models into electric vehicles. Similarly, Mahindra has adopted a similar strategy with the XUV400, based on the XUV300. Looking ahead, Mahindra has ambitious plans to introduce five electric SUVs in the next couple of years. This expansion will provide customers with a diverse range of options to choose from.
