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 also think the wireless bit is pointless (particularly with ebikes), just 2 more batteries to worry about and probably some app I'd rather not need. Even with a folding bike, I don't really care if there's 1 less cable (though digital would mean more freedom with cable routing).

A cable-actuated derailleur that could sense if it were out-of-tune (especially if it could tell you exactly what needs adjustment by exactly how much) would probably be enough for me.
