Sad that the team no longer actively shares updates here like they used toā€¦ :frowning: I loved seeing the teaser of the new 2.0 on social media!

Completely understand you all being busy with many things! Looks like thatā€™s an observation quite oft repeated by those who visit Ather locationsā€¦ :wink:

But yeah an update or two here and there would be fantastic :slight_smile:

This was good to watch. There might be more who wouldā€™ve covered the factory tour but this is the one I watched. Would have loved more insights or something but nevertheless

This development will surely help EV users in Maharashtra facing issues with permission for home charging. Hopefully such policies roll out pan-India soon!

When Ather introduced Performance pack during launch of Ather 450X, It was a grey area.

The performance pack existed to ensure that they are eligible for the very valuable FAME 2 Subsidy

Ather can confirm if this news is true.

By the way which other EV manufacturer has performance pack? I believe Ather is not alone here.

This is done so that it would be easy to get the next round and more valuation from the next round. If they had taken this round and they couldnā€™t deliver the sales Target then no one will fund them next time. So they take it in 2 separate rounds and keep all the cards with them. Common and smart tactic many startups use.

Which sales target lol. All I see is MOM sales decreasing.

Yeah, true that :joy:. People in India donā€™t spend this much money just based on spec sheet or ads. They want to know from existing owners. And for now literally each and every one is angry due to software gatekeeping.

Ather is already inching towards a Billion dollar company!! Man, that seems unreal. Good for you, Ather.

Imagine paying 1.80 lakhs for it and now forced to use a mobile holder. Sighā€¦!

Just came back from a ride. And this is how I was using the maps :face_exhaling:, stop check in the mobile and then go, repeat. This is what the Ather map was showing.

I know it fixes itself after reboot but at this point Iā€™m like, why even bother if itā€™s going to happen againā€¦

The number of issues with Maps is just unbelievable! Every new release seems to be breaking something or the other for me. Not sure what Ather is trying to do.

Stuff i used to do back in 2013 with a galaxy note :grin:

Focusing on giving free floor mats rather than focusing on high vertical integration, reduce costs and for god sake fix maps issues
