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.

Evidence thereof? The dealership by me is constantly selling their Zeros.

Fortnine did a video a few years back about this topic, but there have been multiple articles (posted here) of e-moto companies going under recently, so the trend doesn't seem to be improving.

The problem is that they don't fill a need, and don't offer benefits over ICE motorcycles. Until that changes, they don't really fit anywhere.

Don't get me wrong, they are selling, but they aren't selling at a pace you'd expect them to.
