At what point does 'financial constraint' become 'customer abandonment'? #Ebike #ProductSafety #TechFail #ConsumerRights #BatteryGate

#Anker make great products, so this is a bit sad, but to be fair, the mighty #Apple had their own #BatteryGate saga, that didn’t involve fires however; and the equally mighty (and expensive) #SamsungGalaxy had theirs, which did involve fires, leading the devices to be banned by airlines, in the cabin or in checked bags.

Yep, I read it.

BREAKING NEWS: #BatteryGate

"Every person who ever bought a Tesla was defrauded."
