I don’t know whether to be astonished or scared with your pricing aggressively changing, No wonder the people who bought last month are now going to whine, From 30000 for a pro pack upgrade to 20000 and now the 450x-base variant can upgrade to pro after purchasing the scooter in the next 24 months?.
really confusing times if anyone is planning to buy an Ather right now but what happened about charger refund? there’s been zero update about it.I remember Ather used to be very transparent in communication on forums last year when I bought 450x and gen2 to 3 transistion happened.
(update:everyone who purchsed in 2022 have received mails on further process on June 2)
Happy to finally making a correct move this seems to be a perfectly balanced price.
But there is no proper visibility recalibrating every 2-3 months is not a right thing to do in market. This is not project to make agile decision making. You need to have a visibility and strategy for pricing a product.
However this decision might be a result of high backlashing they received for the pricing and the kind of dumb offering basic 450x has become.
Nonetheless I appreciate the move and hope many would find this an attractive option now
Just like Ola, even Vida has absorbed part of the subsidy cut. Now, post subsidy cut, their new price is increased by only 6k. Reasonable.
Bajaj - Not sure about the new price. But, dealer told price will be increased for sure.
Edit - Bajaj Price Increased by 22k
Ather - did not absorb any hike and entire subsidy loss has been passed on to customer. (Not complaining, they have been transparent in subsidy increase or decrease. But, should wait and see if the sales figures will force Ather to change decision)
Hero Electric - They announced that they will absorb the entire hike.
Couple of my friends booked Vida v1 Pro through Flipkart last week of May and Flipkart was generous enough to give 15k discount for Credit Cards (or 2 years Interest EMI). Nett price of 1.25L for a 4kW model made it pretty good value for money for those who availed the offer.
The way the company has changed its pricing and strategy in last couple of months is nuts.
The posts and the chats will soon be filled with the whining all while owners prior to Apr are still waiting for the charger refund. Atleast that thing is now sorted with emails flying in the mailbox
I think for the Pro pack, they have absorbed the additional 15k due to the change in subsidy and it now costs 20k instead of the 35k they previously charged.
I think everyone recvd the 700w charger. I don’t think they’ve given any slow chargers to anyone.
The upgrade to Pro pack option will also probably be extended to all Base pack buyers.
Again, since hardware wise all scooters are the same, they will also most probably allow Grid charging.
all those who got the Base pack when it was launched have honestly gotten a steal deal. if my memory serves me right, ₹1.1L on road Delhi is bonkers value for a 450x without maps and Bluetooth.
You got 250W charger with the scooter? Can you share a pic?
I thought they were giving 750W until the stocks last. And now they removed the slow charger from the offering.
as per new updates in their website 250w charger is no longer available(was never a option either), all scooters will come with 750w charger only, both base and pro model. even their specs on the website has changed, Since no company in the market went with a slow charger model, Ather also has dropped the idea.
