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.

I like my now-discontinued D4S but I get it wouldn't be for everyone. Though it also has some features* at a fraction** of the price of this. Their new stuff is a different price category and not going for value IMO. And it's not like the D4S is heavy at 45lbs (certainly not the lightest, but weight is diminishing returns IMO).
*= gears (really needed on a 250w bike), adjustable-height handlebar stem, included (but not preinstalled) fenders, speedometer/battery etc w/o needing an app
**= I bought mine on-sale for $720, and it went even cheaper after that
I cannot stress enough how much single-speed at 250w and this price is a deal-breaker. Even if it were a premium product it wouldn't make up for the lack of some sort of gear system (I'd say IGH because belt drive but I know that might conflict with the motor's use of the hub for its own gearing).
They could've done mid drive + IGH or used something like a Pinion gearbox with a hub.
