Netizens Reaction
As soon as the post went live, netizens flooded the comments section with reactions that often highlighted their frustrations with Ola Electric.
Despite the appealing offers, many users took to the platform to voice their concerns about the company’s service quality.
One user candidly stated, “Nah, never buying even at ₹9,999. Had enough trouble with your service centres.”
Another user shared a frustrating experience: “After waiting for four months, today I got a call from Ola that my bike is ready. I went to the service station, and the bike is as it was when I left.”

The skepticism continued, with some users suggesting that the enthusiastic responses in the comments might be inflated by “paid comments.”
Netizens also took to humor to express their doubts, with one user quipping, “So, do we take this home first and then send it to the service center, or does it get delivered there directly?”
