After how many days was the vehicle delivered after the payment was made? Following is my timeline till today
- Pre-Booking: Tuesday, 05.Jun.2018
- Initial delivery estimate: Oct-Dec 2018
- Charging point assessment: Saturday, 16.Jun.2018
- Revised delivery estimate: March 2019
- Payment window opened: Friday, 22.Feb.2019
- Documents submitted for Lease: Saturday, 23.Feb.2019
- Lease application approved: Monday, 25.Feb.2019
- Down payment: Monday, 25.Feb.2019
- Non-Standard Installation payment: Monday, 25.Feb.2019
- Charging cable payment: Tuesday, 26.Feb.2019
However, I’m facing one glitch. Even after payment, the dashboard says “confirm your order” (see screenshot below). When I say proceed, it takes me to a payment page and it says that the payable amount is 0. Then when I select the Finish button there, it comes back to this same page
I called the Ather customer care and they say that in the back-end the status has moved ahead and installation of the Point will happen soon. They assured me that I need not worry.
Edit: the software glitch is solved and below is what I see now

if I look at your dates, it looks fine to me. As you had non-standard installation, probably this might be the reason for the delay. Be patient 
it is just a matter of few more days

Hope you have also factored in the cost of battery replacement (@5 years) and Out of warranty repairs/parts replacements after 3 years. Additionally the Insurance, electricity reimbursement and Ather subscription if you would be opting for it.

After 5 years, running 30k kms will i have to replace battery?..maybe i will be able to use it with a decent range to commute till it hit 50k kms 
…for me its not only about money…i am not convinced with the idea of buying and replacing in the 3rd year itself…feels like a use and throw…maybe a difficultly to come out of an orthodox consumer mentality…

Service cost is accounted in maintenance row…not sure about the correctness of the numbers though…

Good one. Just thinking in what mindset I will be when my payment window opens.
Than You.

I feel that lease gives you the flexibility, at the end of 3 years if you feel that strongly about keeping it, it will just cost you 10K.
On the other hand, if you buy and the vehicle doesn’t turn out as expected, you will get stuck with a vehicle that may not be very good and no one wants to buy

I cannot disagree with you
I think, one can make a right decision after looking at this…

Hi Folks - got the email that payment is now open for my A450!
Looking at lease vs. buy and found this thread.
How does the insurance work in case of lease? Who pays for the excess in case of any claims (I assume it’s me) and does the premium (included in the monthly lease costs I assume) go up or does it stay as is?

Vehicle insurance is part of lease. However there is a caveat. Only 2 claims (max) per year can be availed. (I feel it is reasonable enough unless we are very unfortunate)
Lease fee is constant throughout the period of lease irrespective of depreciation, number of claims (insurance), etc., etc.

Thanks for the details, much appreciated. I think this pushes me over to the lease for 3 years camp - highest downpayment, lowest EMI and I’m all set for the next 3 years.

Is it possible to pay by cash? If so, do we have to go to the experience centre?
