And a lot will depend on Tata's service network. They could do well with maintenance, if they train their technicians well, and have good coverage across India. It could be a nightmare if not.

Anyway I'm worried about the electronics. Yes, the drivetrain is simpler, but what of all of those complex computers and sensors in the EV? They’re not cheap to fix when they go wrong.

Maintenance will not be the real savings, it will be in fuel costs. Yet some repairs are more costly, but the petrol saved will easily outweight the cost.

It'll be cheaper overall, but more unpredictable cost wise. EVs have random maintenance unlike ICE cars, sometimes issues can be whiplash, and they’re oftentimes more expensive to fix.

Initially, the cost of maintaining EVs might even be higher just because there are less people trained in being EV mechanics. Berback: ‘Over time, as EVs become ubiquitous and more folks learn that they can work on them, the costs should start coming down.’
Will India's Tata Curvv EV price itself to ruin its resale value?

It might really help resale value. The Curvv will look out of place on a sea of boring, boxy EVs. It will be a destination for people in the used market that want something more unique.

It's not gonna tank the resale value, no way. Bidders on Indian second hand cars are very conservative. What they want is reliable, familiar; not a spaceship on wheels.

I think it will be a positive, but it could go either way. As you can imagine, EVs will soon become widespread, so the early adopters of cool designs like the Curvv will be considered trendsetters. Better resale prices may be the result.

The design might age poorly. In 5 years what looks futuristic now will be silly. I'd be afraid that it becomes the automotive version of those horribly '80s 'futuristic' gadgets.

The car design will depend more on resale value according to the car's reliability and Tata's reputation. Because, it would simply be, I mean, if it’s a good, solid, dependable EV, people will buy this thing, it just doesn’t matter how it looks.

I think it will hurt resale in the short term but help in the long term. People will initially be skittish, but as the unique EV designs come to market, the Curvv will have a legion of followers that will celebrate the boldness and uniqueness that got the brand here in the first place.

The resale value depends on the city. If it could do well, it’s in metro areas where people are more open to unique designs. Out in smaller towns, it might be a tougher sell.
Can the Curvv's infotainment system compete with what Hyundai and Kia have already rolled out?
26 October 2024 02:29
Tata is definitely on a huge improvement path but it’s still no where close to Hyundai/Kia levels. Those systems are just so smooth and intuitive. Butl they're basically playing catch up and they're not there yet.

I disagree. Have you not used Curvv’s system? And the big screen is gorgeous – it’s way more responsive than older Tatas. It’s not going to have every bell and whistle but most people will find it plenty.

Hardware seems solid but software rules. Tata could become a real contender if it regularly updates and fixes bugs fast. Hyundai/Kia have always been good at improving their systems, that’s been their strength.

Do you think it’s all of these touchscreens are overkill? Are you the only one? I’d take physical climate control and basic functions buttons any day. That is, the Curvv's system is fine in that sense – it does what it needs to do without being too distracting.

The fact it's ecosystem is what you guys are missing. This system could actually integrate really well if you’re already using the Tata EV chargers or connected home stuff, for example. For some buyers, that could be a big selling point.

Speaking of something no one mentioned – privacy. There’s a ton of data that Hyundai and Kia collect through your infotainment system. At least some people were interested in having a system like Tata’s that’s a little simpler and more privacy focused.
How pragmatic is the Curvv compared to regular boxy SUVs in prevalent Indian conditions?
24 October 2024 23:03
I’ve test driven the Curvv and it’s pretty practical despite what it looks like. Rear seats are fine for average-height adults, but not a bad boot, either. Sure, it's not as roomy as a boxy SUV, but it's NOT as cramped as people make it seem.

It’s no way as practical as a traditional SUV. And how well do you think you can fit a big cooler or a couple of suitcases into that tip up trunk? Plus, good luck if you ever need to move furniture or something long. Sometimes it’s boring and boxy is better for real life.
