They say 30% TATA evs are lemons. I always thought I am not amongst them, till today.

I had 37% battery I thought the car would go atleast 60km but then within 16km battery went to 0%.

Got Stranded on the road, TATA RSA quoted 3k for a 800 meter tow (charger was 800 meters away).

Got enraged, told them to fck off.

Asked a good samaritan to tow me till charger. Hitched my car to his activa, asked a light weight autowala to steer the car while I pushed it from behind.

A lot of people took video of the ordeal, I hope it goes viral.

Mom fckers at Tata deserve all the redicule and hate they get.

This is not a slander against EVs. I got MG comet as well and it is fcking great.

Tata however.... We all know what Tata is.

Stay the fck away from them for your own sake.

I am 34, wife is 29 we got a 2 year old daughter.

My 67 year old mother is not dependent on me.

Current assets are as following. Not including my wife's assets and salary because she has to take care of her mother, father and brother who is still studying.

1.3cr in Fixed deposit, monthly interest payout. Used by mother for her living expenses. (I will inherit this)
56 lakh in debt investments.
1.6cr in equity investments.
Mother lives with her siblings in their ancestral home. (I will not inherit this)
3BHK flat in Pune where I currently live. (I will inherit this)
Purchased a plot away from the city and built a weekend house, currently not renting this.
Current monthly salary is about 1.5 lakh in hand. I am a founding member of a startup with 5% stake in the company. Fintech domain.
Current salary is low since this is a early stage startup. Not making significant revenue.

I am debt free. Current living expenses are about 80k a month. Daughter will start school from next year which will increase the monthly expense to about 1.2 lakh per month. Not planning to have any more kids.

I took a decision to leave my high paying job and got into a startup which is currently paying me 30% of what I used to earn. I some time stay awake at night and think if I took the right decision.

Am I currently at cost FIRE where I don't have to worry about saving anything anymore? What should be the next strategy for me so I get to the stage where I can work on anything I want without considering how much it pays.

Thinking of buying a TATA EV? Think again...

Need a reality check
