@evoindia at first Tata Motors need to improve their sales & service experience. I own a tata harrier and the delivery day experience and just todays 3rd service experience is damn damn pathetic. I sold my Tata shares that I had purchased. Don't want to invest anymore into Tata's Business or their products here on !. This is the very reason that Maruti and Hyundai have a upper hand though their cars may not have 5star NCAP rating. Convey my thoughts to Tushar Kulkarni through your channel
Wonderful discussion. Thanks Mr. Kulkarni for offering his deep insights.
I'd like to know more about where Indian EV technology stands vis-a-vis that of China.
Can you please ask Mr. Kulkarni how do they plan to deal with known issue with Tata EV of SOC drop, HV Battery error and Limp mode error randomly in 50% of Tata Evs? What updates are they planning for their old EVs?
Please invite velusamy from Mahindra
Since tata owns JLR ,,can't they just use their ev technology and implement it in harrier and safari and Sierra?
Why there is no talk about the next generation Tiago & tigor .?? These cars are dated now.. Can we expect it in the mere future or not .? I expected Sirish to ask this 😢
This podcast is specifically for EVs & not ICE platforms & systems!
@@BlackHawkTejasyes, I'm talking about about the electric Tiago & Tigor
Tbh they won't invest in small cars now, especially tigor ev just because it is not churning out numbers for them.
Vivek Srivatsa of Tata Motors confirmed product refreshes for tigor and tiago will be coming early next year.
@@storm2vega can you please give me the video or news ??
With the introduction of cyberster and seal ev, i would love it if tata launches tamo ev.
Superb, as a punch LR this is great insights, loving the ev did more than 3500 kms in 20 days of ownership! Thanks for sharing
Har ev video pe yehi comment karta hai tu bhai aakhir majra kya hai?
@@rahulkhanna3876 Keep crying
I will laugh when you sell your petrol car for 5% of its original price 6 years later, and my 2021 nexon ev will still run that day, and will keep running like new 9 year later when I replace the battery , and the old battery will be recycled to make powerbanks for phones in tata's battery recycling plant newly opened in haryana
You shall weep that day
@@nou7401 I'm laughing to tears for you already, good luck chuck!
@@rahulkhanna3876 choosta rha apne baap ka 🤣
Nice podcast, if this feedback can go to Anand appreciate it, for 35 years never bought a Tata car, but will buy Curvv if they can change the flowery design of those wheels, weird looking wheels not matching the profile of Curvv which is more of a path breaking design and the wheels being so conservative
I want TATA to look global and focus local.
I want TATA to see:
- Kia EV3
- BYD Seagull and Atto 3
- Nissan Ariya
Now, let’s have the Avinya in the market with 500 plus real word range with 80 kWh batteries.
- Fast Charging (30 mins for 80%)
- Around 30 lakh price tag
This is realistic and doable.
No ... this kind of Charging Infra is simply not there !!! 200KW charging stations is Just not possible in the existing DISCOM Electrical Infrastructure !!!
@@VermaRajinder 1. ratio of coal power generation is coming down and it came below 50 percent mark just recently. 2. you talk about polution caused because of extraction of rare minerals. You think petrol and diesel extraction and manufacturing process don't cause pollution. Do you understand how much heat and polluting agents are continuously caused by ICE vehicles? 3. since EV technology is newer, it will take time to mature and attitudes of buyers will also change over time.
EVs are happening. People like it or not. Technology doesn’t go backwards.
Green Energy - we can generate more and cheaper.
Cars are better Electric - Cost, Noise and Tech.
@@chethansagar VERY TRUE
hey evo,
nice podcast.
timestamp would be great on long videos
Glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for the suggestion
Yeah
Quite informative video,
Thanks for doing it......
Glad you enjoyed it
I recently saw a video of their whole plant and how things work there, it was truly amazing and makes me want to buy one as well
Sierra a lovely car ❤️ awd package would love to see it.😊
We would also love to see AWD in the Sierra
Very nice podcast Informative and great journalism 🖤🖤
Thanks Aditya :)
Very insightful interview and a great product person
Super Podcast, super clarity explainer
Glad it was helpful!
Listening/watching Sirish is a true education . Man knows his shit and more importantly is humble in asking the right questions. ❤
Glad you enjoyed the video
man every time you bring a expert its just funnnn.please bring more industry people to know their thinking closely in an interview they are very formal but in podcast you know the unfiltered person unfilter thought thats great
Thanks for your kind words.
Second this comment. Get experts and not just Filmy guys with pedestrian knowledge about cars.😊
Amazing ❤
Thanks 😄
Tata has really outdone themselves with the introduction of Ev segment
How to evaluate battery life before resale the vehicle. Which things are not covered in warranty.
Run a OBD health check
@@theelectricmile474 thanks
Can you please tell when will nexon cng launch.
No news about that for now
What about Tata E-Vision sedan car ?
Nice video. from ev enthusiast.waiting for harrier ev.
We all are waiting for it!
@@evoIndia update about kia EV 3
I was hoping that you would talk about the data touchscreen system which or not a bit compare able to Tesla or other brands which have their own Internet route planning at Sectra
❤
waiting for avinya .when is the launch
No news of that yet
Can you make video on ev scooters vs petrol scooters, which will be better, practical for daily ride, City drive? Battery, range anxiety etc
Sure Shubham. Thanks for the suggestion. :)
When will tata Tiago ev lunch on new ev architecture?
There's no news of it for now.
Sir, talked about the inflection point and body style options I completely agree with his view. I strongly believe the next set of customers who're opting for an EV is going to use the vehicle for both city and highways hence cars delivering 350 - 400 real world range has huge potential. I hope tata motors when they launch an Altroz EV it would give that range. We are waiting for a home grown hot hatch. Tata please make our wait worthwhile
Nexon EV LR is already at 320-350km Hwy/cty
Nexon LR may give that range but it's not a hatchback. Still many people in India love that body style. EV hot hatch would be head Turner. Moreover when it comes to driving dynamics the hatch performs better than the SUV anytime
@@abiramgurusamy1820 maybe Tata is waiting for altroz facelift so that they can launch both cars simultaneously
Though if you see price wise, altroz and punch EV will occupy same price bracket and make it less ideal for economy of scale as they have to make two cars and split the assembly line for two models
Hatch supremacy is obv present no doubt in terms of stability and handling but you are wrong on popularity end. Crossovers are selling far more than hatchbacks. Gone are the days when hatchbacks used to make majority sales
Good to know that Tata Motors has a lineup of multi generation EVs planned running into 2025.
Can they first fix the battery drain problem in my 2023 Tata Safari? It doesn't give a lot of confidence into their electrical abilities if I have to run around their workshop for battery drain twice in a matter of 2 months 😂
Tata hai toh sab mumkin hai
Bring nano ev as an competition to mg
Like he said, tata ev is the future of india 💪
In the coming years, tata will easily be on top because of their ev cars
👍
Tata lauch the Aria sport coupe and the TAMO race concept in EV!!!!
Any comments about the EMF in ev cars and its impact on our health.
I liked the logo in tata Avinya, tata shud use that logo in all the tata car's
No one can replicate what tata is doing in ev segment
3 cheers to Tata. Ev's....What about manufacturing of battery cells by Tata ?When will we see Tata lithium ion battery cells and their specifications.?
The biggest issue with Tamo is their customer service and High voltage critical error. They have replaced so many Battery packs under warranty.
Hardly any question about Tata curvv and it's delayed launch.
You could have also asked about software niggles, and service issues in Tata cars, especially with EVs.
Improve the service centre and quality of service
I own Nexon EV from first generation. I have observed many issues with that vehicle. Tata service centre doesn't have enough capability and experts to solve the many small problems. Be it with BMS, range, charging issues, charger heating issues and so on. 2020, 2021,2022 nexon ev and other buyers started selling the tata evs and started moving to different ev brands those are well known and better customer and service support. I request Anandji please start looking at customer satisfaction and first generation vehicle problem resolution as the highest priority item. As once customers would start loosing the faith, EVs would be treated like tata indica and brand value would be diluted like anything.
tata charger failed me on the trans haryana highway
In short, in the coming years, ev will be used more and more by people
@evoindia at first Tata Motors need to improve their sales & service experience. I own a tata harrier and the delivery day experience and just todays 3rd service experience is damn damn pathetic. I sold my Tata shares that I had purchased. Don't want to invest anymore into Tata's Business or their products here on !. This is the very reason that Maruti and Hyundai have a upper hand though their cars may not have 5star NCAP rating. Convey my thoughts to Tushar Kulkarni through your channel
Funny that you put after sales experience and delivery experience even more priority than life!
In future for transportation buses and trucks will be hybrid?
No, already all governments are converting their buses to electric, hybird cars are also losing to EVs globally
Give importance to harrier EV and its price.
Lot of people do not buy harrier because it's available just in diesel , people don't trust/like Tata petrol options so EV is your best chance . Give importance to software. Adding boot to nexon doesn't make it mid size SUV , stop such jugads . New product shouldn't be such jugad .Harrier EV and harrier petrol should have been your priority.
Instead of bringing harrier EV at 17lakh you are adding boot to nexon .
If you consider SUV , gst and cess tax in ICE is 50% , if the same SUV is made EV then gst and cess tax will be just 5% .
This 45% money save is equal to provide battery pack that's large enough to give 500km real world range . Above this EVs get road tax waved off .
So this should enable companies to launch SUV EVs at ex showroom price lower than ICE SUV . But companies like TATA are misusing this and selling EVs at very high price , just to make huge money .
This is the reason they can bring down price of their vehicles whenever required as they are already set high price . 20lakh for nexon, , ridiculous.
Such mentality cannot bring change in Indian mobility, they just want to take advantage and make money in short time.
Government should stop road tax waver for EVs and instead pay back that money as subsidy.
GST and CESS should be made 5% for hybrid cars as well or else companies like TATA keep taking advantage.
Shouldnt you have asked about the Nano EV?
The last question where you asked about Lithium reserves in India, he told something completely different from that? Why is that?
Real World 500km is kinda like a necessity for a Car above 20-25 lakhs and anand sir lacking assurance to that question is quite disappointing i feel Tamo is approaching of banking on harrier's face value and thus providing minimum value to it's customers maybe like are they going to put a 60-65kw baby battery on a Harrier that they're not confident in answering/assuring that 500km real range mark
Please share 2 words on Resale value of EV s... thats a bomb ticking to kaboom
Good one but too late to the party. At this point expect something more. EV is present. Let’s talk about it
Still hv error n turtle mode is common in all Tata evs. Tml needs to fix it asap. Better to use nmc battery
Can you please tell how common? Even Hyundai Evs have lot of complaints online like battery replacement and sudden shut down.....so you need to elaborate your comment....
@@rps5952 upto 10% of evs .
If the battery chemistry, or technology changes in future, will you give the old customers (eg existing Nexon owners) an option to go for the new battery, maybe at an extra premium, when the battery comes for replacement?
When all the EVs are built on the new activ.ev platform, what will happen to the battery support for the older non activ.ev platform cars?
Sir , Tata nexon, made in India - 20 lakh.
BYD autto/seal , made in china 34lakh to 41 lakh . Compare, tech , handling, power , range , reliability, interior, premiumness , battery and motor tech is no where when compared to BYD .
Shouldn't we feel cheated .
You are charging ridiculously high .
In China atto3 is $20k or same price as Nexon EV
EV chahiye toh tata se badh kar koi nahi
I bought punch Lr which was my biggest regret in my life .. from the day I took delivery(feb 29) i have isssues with car ..still now it isn’t charging and the charging gun is struck in the charging especially with 25 and 30kw charges …no support from service or sales department…😢
Instead of writing a comment here, you could have written an escalation mail to higher contacts and searched their contact details in website. Ranting in social media will not solve your issues....
@@rps5952 done that already no use
Tata motors is very smart and doesn’t reply. Customers get tired and use social media to address these issues of frustrated buyers who Tata doesn’t even think about. Beware
Lol of course he ll advocate EVs...
My tata altroz xza purchased on August 2024, 9 months old, 10k KM driven.
Parts replaced since day 1:
1. Front viper blade and stalk
2. Fuel filler cap assembly
3. Infotainment screen base border plastic
4. Right B pillar trim
5. Rear parcel tray
6. Horn
7. Rear ac vent slider
8. Fuse box plastic panel
9. Weilding on C pillar roof joint internally.
10. Rubber insulation of rear right door.
Still getting rattle and squeaks from left B pillar and dashboard on concrete roads of pune.
Can this be assumed as a unfinished product and based on this put a case in consumer court for selling me an unfinished/defective product?
Oh.. i forgot. I need money to fight with any judiciary system in India. I am not that rich. I will get used to the issues and believe that i am a truck driver.
The electric car market would be almost non existent by 2035.
😂
Mungerilal ke hasin sapne
@@shresthsonkar9207 These naysayers give lame unrealistic statements without any proper knowledge or understanding. I think they truly live in a dreamland.
@@kiranreddy7864 problem is the kind of content they consume
Instead of watching properly researched in depth videos from engineering explained or other good channels, they rely on clickbaity channels only focussed on views and engagement or worse, insta reels which are even going to declare you homosexual for using EV
Sad cars by Tata that don’t serve the purpose they promise. Tata you are selling lies. If there is anyone who knows Tata team, tell them this, they should shut the company as customer is not important for them.
Stop giving useless interviews and take steps to improve after sales and service and quality of the product too. Nobody likes rusting cars
Worst car ever
Sad that talks such as these pander to car makers and a no-sense government policy:-
1) no present and no future for batteries based on lithium;
2) battery tech shows no signs of price reductions down enough to fit the odinary man's purse, the argument that large scale production of batterries will make batteries cheap is false;
3) Elon Musk tried and failed to enhance battery density, and no one has even come close to what he did;
4) EVs are prohibitively heavy, a danger to ramps, bridges, with an unsustainable rate of tyre wear, no solution to this unsustainable weight issue is available in the foreseeable horizon;
5) India cannot produce and make available electricity for charging for a universal adoption of EVs, not by 2030. Not enough production plants, insufficient national electricity grid, no plans of enhancing either to a minimum feasability of use.
6) No solution to dual power source use, as aircraft and aquacraft have no alternative but to continue with hydrocarbon based fuels and not electric fuel cell tech.
7) No scalable horizon to make battery car fires rare, or restrict damage to surroundings, or environmentally non hazardous.
8) EVs are single accident products, repairs being usually too costly and insurance is therefore uneconomically high. EVs are also depreciation prone in even the very short term, due to software upgrades. There is no change horizon to either issue.
9) Charging times are too high to promote product reliance in times of need, or in emergencies. Geological and atmospheric troubles ground EVs at a time of dire need.
9) EVs are therefore second car fashion products, tests showing that charging station costs are higher than filling up costs at conventional fuel stations. And range issues have never been solved.
