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.

As I understand it the requirement is that it must pass a battery of emissions checks. They refuse to submit electric models to said emissions tests, and citing the logic that a battery powered vehicle would naturally sail past any tailpipe test because it self-evidently creates zero emissions is apparently not sufficient.
I went through this with a planned Surron purchase a couple of years ago and after getting stuck in this Kafkaesque loop with multiple idiots from multiple branches of our DMV including two supervisors, I gave up.
Note that I know how this works (or so I thought), because I already own a plated converted dirt bike, which was not a street legal vehicle when I bought it and is now, because I already went through all of the above with that. My inside knowledge of the bureaucracy gained from doing that apparently didn't help.
