Ather 450X subscription vs full-price purchase: What’s the difference?
We explain the difference between subscribing to the Ather 450X versus buying it at full price. Ever since the prices of the new Ather 450X were announced, there’s been considerable confusion and debate about the optional subscription plans. Some of the comments we received questioned the feasibility of these subscription plans (Plus and Pro), while some were curious about the benefits of the same. The company also offered the option of buying its new e-scooter without the subscription plans at an outright price of Rs 1.49 lakh and Rs 1.59 lakh for the Plus or Pro configuration, respectively. This has generated quite a bit of confusion and Ather has tried to clear doubts.But before we begin, if you're wondering why the Ather 450X suddenly seems far more expensive than the old 450 that cost Rs 1.13 lakh (ex-showroom), it is because it is. The company says it was losing a lot of money on every scooter sold at that price and they simply couldn't keep it going at that rate. Even at these new prices, Ather says it…

Now, of course, those pitchers would be water but then I was still drinking.
