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.

$29.5k? Might as well just get a new car or a good used car

You can get a really solid Prius for that kind of money. Probably even a plug-in

I am fairly sure this outrageous novelty product is meant for people who already have a new car and a good used car in their garage. They're not gonna consider an old Miata as an alternative to it.
