I hope if Glock is forced to change their design to something more convoluted and less reliable that police are the first ones required to switch over.
I’m not going to deny that a rich person being the victim plays a part here, but also very high profile crimes that are embarrassing to law enforcement get resources.
In particular, I’m thinking (for comparison) of the escape from Clinton Correctional in upstate NY. $23 million spent to recover 2 prisoners and the governor flew in to do a press conference. It wasn’t really rich people that were victims there.

My cousin went to jail for 6 months for this exact crime and he’s neither famous nor connected to anyone. (Granted, they caught him at the time it didn’t take years.)
Some of us need trucks purely to move dirtbikes and snowmobiles and it will do that.
Add in the requirement of "electric" and there are cheaper options but none that are cheap that are also allowed to be sold in the USA (remains to be seen how much you can get away with temporarily moving a BYD Shark over the border from Mexico and never bringing it back)
I'm personally excited for the potential of MX parks or trails to be closer to urban areas if they're electric-only.
I'm also not sure on the viability of longer-range electric motorcycles, given that they can't just add a ton of extra batteries like cars. Maybe some (better than existing) hybrid motorcycles are the future.
