The concept
- The concept Avinya, derived from the Sanskrit language, stands for ‘Innovation’, claimed Tata Motors.
- It comes packed with new age technology, software and artificial intelligence that work in the background to deliver wellness and tranquility during transit.
- The Avinya concept EV is originally inspired by a catamaran.
- A catamaran is a multi-hulled watercraft featuring two parallel hulls of equal size.
- It is a geometry-stabilized craft, deriving its stability from its wide beam.

What about tesla cars?
- There is clearly a demand for Tesla cars. Every month the company seems to set new sales records.
- But despite the demand, there is a bottleneck in production, creating a waitlist for back-ordered vehicles that is growing steadily.
- Unlike established car companies, Tesla does not have the manufacturing capacity to meet the current demand all at once.
- Because demand exceeds the current supply, basic economics suggests that the price would be bid up. Tesla seems to be constrained by production, not demand.
- The demand is fueled in part by the green energy movement.
- Demand is also driven by Tesla’s sleek, modern design and its high-tech driver interface and dashboard that features an impressive all-digital, touch-sensitive display.
But can TATA give fight to Tesla?
- The fact that electric cars are virtually silent when they drive is something many drivers consider a truly desirable feature.
- But Tesla cars are also high-performance vehicles with several great features:
- The Model S can cruise for over 400 miles on a full charge, recharging is a user-friendly task, and it can accelerate from 0 to 60 miles per hour in about under two seconds.
- The Tesla Model X is a more family-friendly SUV that can comfortably fit seven passengers.
- By expanding its product line, Tesla is sure to increase demand for its cars.
