It's a little sad that we need to actually say this, but:
Don't be an asshole or you will be permanently banned.
Respectful debate is totally OK, criticizing a product is fine, but being verbally abusive will not be tolerated.
Focus on discussing the idea, not attacking the person.

This is not the case in quite a few US states and probably other places in the world as well, which classify three wheeled vehicles as "motorcycles" regardless of the presence of a seat, steering wheel, or even a roof. Thus a motorcycle endorsement is required in addition to a regular driver's license, and in some states (mine is one) a further three wheeler supplement is required on top of that.
The situation is pretty bonkers as applies to, e.g., the Polaris Slingshot which is clearly... you know, a car.
That is definitely the direction they all should be going in. The tragedy is that most salesmen and indeed most of these companies push the narrative of "safer/easier to ride than a motorcycle" but are only looking for that easy sale. Educated drivers help a lot. That said: it's still a dangerous design... but at least an educated driver should understand the risks involved.
