When Mahindra unveiled the Batman BE 6 EV, a limited-run electric vehicle inspired by Christopher Nolan’s The Dark Knight, fans couldn’t wait to get their hands on it.
The coveted vehicle had a limited production run of only 300 units.
But now the automaker is offering to buy back all of them.
Why? The reason is simultaneously understandable and hilarious.

The Mahindra Batman BE 6 EV is a real-world Batmobile
The BE 6 EV is the first production vehicle officially unveiled as a tribute to the Batmobile and The Dark Knight.
And the manufacturer definitely tried everything it could to hammer the point home because there are Dark Knight and Batman nods everywhere.
You’ve got Batman decals, The Dark Knight rear badging that reads ‘BE 6 × The Dark Knight‘, and even a Bat emblem projection and carpet lamps with the same emblem.
Mahindra also embossed The Dark Knight Trilogy Bat emblem across parts of the interior.
The automaker only unveiled 300 units, with a price tag of around $30,000.
That’s not terribly expensive, especially for a limited-edition vehicle.
The problem is the company made a move that made most of those 300 buyers angry.
And some of them want a refund.
What made them so unhappy?
$30,000 for a limited-edition, Batman-inspired vehicle wasn’t bad at all.
And the market responded exactly the way Mahindra wanted it to respond.
The car sold out immediately, and the car brand decided to build a few more of these EVs, bringing the total up to 999 units.
Those extra 699 units also sold out in exactly 135 seconds.
But the original buyers weren’t happy.
Some argued that this move diluted the value of the vehicle – both metaphorically and monetarily.
Now, Mahindra is opening a buyback program for a few more weeks.
You can sell the car back to the automaker and get a full refund.
