Here’s how Ola S1 buyers reacted to company completing 20,000 test drives

Ola Electric has completed 20,000 test rides for its S1 and S1 Pro electric scooters, and the company now aims to conduct 10,000 test rides a day across 1,000 cities from this month. The company launched the country’s largest-ever EV test drive program in early November, although the delivery deadline has now been pushed back from earlier announcements.

The first round of booking for the Ola Electric S1 scooter was started online for just Rs 499, which has received an overwhelming response. The second phase booking was also completely digital as Ola Electric follows the direct-to-home program and does not have any dealer partner.

According to media reports, Ola Electric has reportedly stopped the delivery of its S1 and S1 Pro electric scooters due to the global shortage of semiconductor chips.

Upon completing 20,000 rides, Twitter has flooded up with reactions, and some of them are hilarious.

Here are some Twitter reactions

 

Ola launched its first electric scooter earlier this year. However, test rides for potential customers started earlier this month in select metros.
