"American Automakers Refuse to Participate in Race to Make Accessible, Fuel-Efficient Vehicles"

Fixed that title for you, Verge.

Almost got scammed by Rad Bikes this way. Battery mysteriously failed 10 months into their 1 year warranty. Rad Bikes accused me of sabotaging the battery and refused to honor their warranty, but "generously" offered me free shipping on a $300+ replacement battery. Turns out the off-the-rack fuse they use blew; identical down to the manufacturer to the ones used in cars. Replacement fuse was <20 cents and fixed the problem instantly.

She obviously didn't realize that a Las Vegas 6, is a prison 9.

Why the closed doors? To quote their own rhetoric, if you've got nothing to hide, you've got nothing to fear. Oh right, he's probably bringing receipts from their boss, Putin.

Rad City support could not or would not explain how my battery might have stopped working, but would only say it was "not covered by warranty". They could also not explain what sort of causes of battery failure were covered by their warranty. It was pretty clear they just didn't want to cover the expense of honoring their warranty (the battery is probably one of the single most expensive parts on their bikes).

In unrelated news, Georgia Court of Appeals sporting all new luxury RVs.

More like the "Dim Web". ;-)

Not without buying a lot of folks RVs, at least. #SCROTUS

That's like getting picked up from Catholic Boys Choir by a white van with "Free Candy" spray painted on the side.

While I sincerely hope so, possibly unpopular opinion... Lemmy will have to offer a lot more than "Not Reddit". It'll have to build up as a primary destination for a lot of "content of substance" and culture around creating and nurturing it (just cross posting from Reddit will not cut it). It may have to offer communities and opportunities Reddit bans or suppresses, although there should be some red lines there. And, like all Federated technologies, it will have to actively work to reduce friction for potential users.

On my RadCity 5 Plus, it was a 10 amp red mini-blade fuse. I had a "variety pack" in my car that I'd gotten at a local auto part store, but looked it up any way, just in case. This may be different on other models/batteries. Ironically, it did require a warranty voiding opening on the battery casing. :-)

Court "ordered" end to a strike generally means that any contractual, union or legal protections workers have are forfeited if the strike continues (i.e. folks can be fired, benefits lost, even sued in some cases). This is not uncommon in regimes where the judicial system has been compromised (USA, Israel, etc). That being said... be a real shame if productivity of non-striking workers were to mysteriously plummet to effectively non-existent levels. ;-)

If they left for that reason, they weren't visiting you, they were visiting your internet connection. :-(

OP's original post/questions, in case you're curious. They have quite the history of posting and commenting, receiving substantial downvotes and then deleting or obfuscating. Verdict, troll or puppet account.

Apparently some earlier models of their batteries had a user accessible hatch to change fuses, so I'm inclined to think they intentionally moved from a repairable to non-repairable model.

From a group of people that thinks transparency is having a set list of prices for their rulings.
