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.

Maybe one day in some form, but I think it's more likely they'll remain a niche thing just because of the cost and the fact that they're kind of impractical compared to a bike. It would be nice to have a sheltered cockpit I guess but that comes with a lot of extra weight, cost, and reduced mobility (seems like wind could be a problem too).
Side wind is not a problem because they have more stability with 3 or 4 wheels and they are lower to the ground. Inside city traffic an upright is more agile, but for other areas the price coud come down and designs could become more practical (e.g. easier entry, more payload)
