Complete the full PDI BEFORE registration and before any payment beyond the booking amountCritical
Inspection guide
Commonly reportedExperienced buyers advise never paying more than the booking amount before seeing the actual car, and completing PDI before the car is registered in your name. Once registered, you cannot refuse the unit even if defects are found.
Add detail if useful
If any defect is found, you may demand rectification in writing or a different unit — do not accept a forced delivery
Inspection guide
Commonly reportedOwners repeatedly recommend walking away from a defective unit and asking for a fresh one, even at the cost of some discount, rather than accepting promises to fix later.

Carry the allotment email with the chassis number (for verifying the car matches)
Add detail if useful
Have your ACKO details ready to activate — but purchase / activate the policy only AFTER the PDI passes and you commit to this unit, before the car is driven or registered
Inspection guide
How to inspectDo not activate insurance for a specific chassis until you have confirmed you are accepting that exact car at PDI. Activating before you commit risks tying a policy to a unit you may reject.

Do the PDI in direct daylight or strong workshop lighting
Inspection guide

Vehicle numbers — record the full numbers from the VIN plate and invoice at the car
Your allotment email shows these masked (e.g. chassis …92984, engine …60171). Confirm the complete numbers here.
Record the VIN / chassis number of THIS exact car; confirm the SAME VIN is delivered on delivery dayCritical
Inspection guide
How to inspectPhotograph the VIN plate and the chassis number. Note it now and re-check it against the car handed over at delivery.
Commonly reportedA frequently repeated warning: note the VIN of the car you inspect and make sure the identical VIN is the one delivered, so a different unit is not substituted.
Add detail if useful
Manufacturing month and year on the VIN plate — confirm a recent build, not old stockConfirm
Inspection guide
How to inspectThe VIN / build plate is usually on the driver-side B-pillar (door jamb) and under the windshield.
Commonly reportedOld-stock and year-end cars are a major concern; a unit built months ago may have aged tyres, battery and seals.
Reject ifA build date many months old, or the previous calendar year, unless disclosed and discounted and you accept it.
Add detail if useful
Tyre date codes on all four tyres — recent and close to each other
Inspection guide
How to inspectThe last 4 digits of the DOT code are week and year, e.g. 2325 means week 23 of 2025. All four should be recent and within a few weeks of each other.
Commonly reportedOld rubber and flat-spotting from long storage are reported on cars that sat in yards.

About this tool
An interactive Pre-Delivery Inspection companion for the Tata Sierra.ev, built to be used on an iPad at the dealership. It combines a rotating visual inspection of the car with a complete written checklist, three-state results with notes, and an email-ready fault report.
This is a personal tool, not an official Tata Motors document. It does not replace the dealer's own PDI or any manufacturer warranty process. Vehicle specifications and feature names are as understood at build time and should be confirmed against the official brochure and the actual car.

Version history
v5Holistic checklist, three groups, usability passJul 2026
- Added a third visual group, Keys and controls, for the key fob and DigiAccess card; added the driver door panel to the Interior rotation
- New checks: NFC unlock, extendable sun visor with illuminated mirror, front sliding armrest, Relax Mode, floating door handrest and window switches, hidden rear wiper, e-Valet auto park, Summon mode, Reverse Assist, thigh support extender, rear window sunshade, EV route planner in Android Auto, and AVAS
- Split combined checks into single items (ambient lighting separated from the air purifier; driver cluster separated from the HUD, and others)
- Icons now render fully offline; body text enlarged for iPad readability; hotspot labels are always visible rather than on hover
- Viewer locked to a uniform image size so the rotate controls no longer shift
- Calibration upgraded: each tapped point can be labelled with the exact check from a dropdown, and the whole set copied at once
v4Pass / Fail / Defer, notes and report exportJul 2026
- Replaced the single checkbox with a three-state control: Pass, Fail, or Defer for further assessment
- Added a note field on every item, required when an item fails
- Added the Report tab: separates passed, failed, and deferred, and generates an email-ready fault report for the dealership
- Enriched the checklist with guidance drawn from real owner-reported Tata EV PDI issues
- Added a Vehicle identity section (VIN capture, manufacturing date, tyre date) and an Electrical and software stability section
v3Swipeable turntable and calibrationJul 2026
- Rebuilt Visual Inspection as a rotating turntable of studio views for both sides of the car, plus interior views
- Placed each hotspot on the view where the feature is actually visible
- Added an on-device calibration mode to measure exact hotspot positions
v1–v2FoundationJul 2026
- Established the dashboard, the full written checklist with critical-item tracking, and local saving on the device
- Iterated the visual theme to the glassmorphic Luminous Horizon design
References and sources
Owner-reported PDI issues for Tata EVs — common defects and checks were informed by public owner discussions and reviews, including Team-BHP ownership and PDI threads for the Harrier EV, Nexon EV, and Curvv, and reporting from RushLane and independent service guides. The Harrier EV shares the Sierra's electronic platform, so its reported electrical and software behaviours informed the stability section.
General PDI practice — inspect in daylight, complete the PDI before registration, record and re-verify the VIN, and prefer a fresh unit over accepting a defective one. These reflect widely repeated guidance from experienced buyers.
Vehicle specifications and imagery — the Sierra.ev variant features and the studio images used in the visual inspection were provided by the owner from the official Tata configurator and brochure. Feature names follow that source.
Note on accuracy — owner-reported issues are presented as things to check, not as claims about this specific car. High-impact vehicle facts should be confirmed against the official brochure and the actual vehicle at inspection.
Credits and ownership
This tool was built collaboratively. The checklist content, inspection priorities, and vehicle imagery are the owner's work. Not affiliated with, endorsed by, or produced by Tata Motors.
Developer tools — hotspot calibration
The visual inspection markers are positioned using a calibration tool. It is hidden by default so it does not get in the way during a real PDI. If a marker ever needs repositioning, reveal the calibration panel below, go to the PDI · Visual Inspection tab, turn calibration on, tap the correct spot on the car image, label which check it is, and copy the summary. That copied text can be used to update the marker coordinates. Revealing it here simply un-hides the panel on the Visual tab; hiding it again removes it from view. No calibration data affects your inspection results.
