As seen on the internet

We Went Viral.
Then The Internet Roasted Us.

Times of India. NDTV. Hindustan Times. News18. Our truck-art wrapped Cybertruck made it onto news sites right across India. People called it a masterpiece. Then, as is tradition, they told us what we'd forgotten — and were wrong about both.

🌶️ The Internet's Official Complaint Department

Thousands of comments. Overwhelmingly lovely. But desi aunties and uncles do not hand out praise without notes, and two came up again and again — both, we are pleased to report, completely wrong:

1. "Where is Horn OK Please?" — A fair point. A truck without it is, frankly, just a van with ambitions.

2. "Nimbu-mirchi kahan hai?" — No lemon and chillies anywhere. On a truck this shiny, people felt that was less an oversight and more an occupational hazard.

Our response, respectfully:

1. Horn OK Please is on the back now. It's there. Go look at the gallery. We'll wait.

2. The nimbu-mirchi was always there — hanging inside the truck, exactly where a sensible person keeps it. You cannot leave a lemon dangling off a Cybertruck at 60mph and call it protection. That's just littering with extra steps. 🍋🌶️

Final score: internet 0, buri nazar 0, truck 2.
"Omg you literally turned the boring a— car into this masterpiece." — an actual person on the internet, quoted by NDTV
