The "Premium EV" Scam: Ather Energy’s fake marketing, 2-month sudden delays, and absolute zero communication.
Hey guys, wanted to share the horrible experience I am facing with Ather Energy right now. Exactly 20 days ago, I booked the Ather 450s (2.9kW) in Space Blue. The dealership team confidently gave me an expected delivery date around 20th July 2026. I was super excited to get my hands on it, but today I got a massive reality check. The showroom casually called and informed me that my delivery has been pushed back by 45 to 60 days! No proper justification, just a blanket delay statement. But here is the kicker: Since the day I booked the scooter, I have received exactly ZERO official emails or text messages from Ather. No confirmation of booking, no invoice tracker, nothing. If the showroom hadn't called to give me the bad news, I would be sitting blankly thinking my scooter is arriving in two weeks. Ather talks big on Twitter and in their ads about being the ultimate premium EV brand in India, but their customer onboarding and supply chain transparency is a absolute joke. They block your money, give fake timelines, and then go completely radio silent. My details are Sagar Patel (+91 7692818233) if any Ather representative lurks here and wants to fix this mess. Has anyone else faced this sudden 2-month delay for the 450s recently? Should I just cancel and go for an alternative, or fight for the refund? Very frustrated.
