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.

Good! Your question above is pointless then.
Wrong. What if I wanted to get an electric bike? Only to find I can't park it inside my apartment?
That's the point dummy.
You've made no attempt to answer my original question, you've only spit out "car brain" at someone that hasn't owned a car in almost a decade.
I only brought up Tesla owners because they can actually afford a house. People on electric bikes can probably barely afford an apartment.
Get real with your assumptions and nonsense.

I really can't be bothered with people with such aggressive tone trying to proof an issue someone already solved out there.
Perhaps consider leaving out unecessary provocations such as "Ahh, car brain, defensive as always, never consider the alternative." and maybe the replies you're getting would then be more polite aswell.
I must admit that's on me, but if that person didn't structure their comment and replies like a sea-lioning attempt, the conversation would definitely be better.
