Ather Dot, the new home charging pod

A band aid should not be solution for bad design, but once implemented that is the only refuge.

Yesterday when I tried to charge (using the Home Pod), I got Authentication error in the dashboard. So, plugged out and re-inserted. On 3rd attempt, the error went away and it started charging.

This is the first time I saw this error ever. Does anyone know possible cause?

In general AFAIK that shouldn’t be happening because if once dot is assigned to your vehicle and it recognises it then this issue should not happen. If you face this issue again then raise it with CS team it could be a firmware issue which they can fix by reloading the firmware.

Is the Dot’s front cover available to purchase separately? I was going to get a portable charger and hide it behind the cover if it was available. Best of both worlds.

Does the Insurance cover the DOT?

No insurance is only for vehicle not for the charger.

@tarun @abhishek.balaji I think this is a use case in next model or as a feature request a GPS tracker to be considered for charger too in the design. So that in case of theft we shall be able to track it. Because it is not a small price tag. Also it gives the owner a little more piece of mind and guarantee.

Does somebody have a similar pic with the Dot in the underseat space for a comparison?

Just out of curiosity… I know the stolen Dot cannot be used in any other Ather vehicles until its mapped and configured to that particular vehicle. But in case of theft can Ather identify if the stolen Dot gets connected to a different Ather vehicle?

Here you go. Would suggest having it upside down in the storage with a bit of padding on the corners with a thick cloth or something to avoid any scratches while riding.
