Climate activists declare war on ‘gas guzzler’ cars… by vandalising an electric Tesla
The controversial group, who call themselves the Tyre Extinguishers, targeted a Tesla car in Clifton, Bristol
Port cities should be centres of hybrid vigour – the gene pool does become enriched in oh so many ways. OK, only the one way perhaps, but that many times.
Bristol is the disproof of the contention.
Seems perfectly logical. Electric cars are mainly charged by fossil fuels 🙂
Of course looking at it from a Machiavellian perspective, had “Tyre Extinguishers” not targeted an electric car, reports of their activity would not have got into the national press and we would never have heard of them. However to quote Machiavelli himself “Always assume incompetence before looking for conspiracy.” As such I’m envisaging them as being rather like the “Tooting Popular Front”.
Likewise a video was doing the rounds recently where a climate loon was berating a man for having his engine running and polluting the atmosphere while stopped. No amount of telling her would convince her that it was an EV. These people are just nuts.

I always feel it must be most liberating to have the rebranded Globble Worming excuse whenever you want to be a bit antisocial or thuggish, because not only can you escape punishment, you can boast about it and become famous for 7 seconds…
Likewise, the loons targeted the London Underground a couple of years ago – superglued themselves to the electric trains that take hundreds of cars off the roads.
Why not just declare war on useless mouths?
All the climate crackpots could just commit mass suicide.
If the loons had targeted it on the basis of much greater weight, causing extra tyre wear and road damage, they might garner slightly more respect…
Well, Teslas (and all electric vehicles) are more energy intensive to produce…
You have to do a decent number of kilometers or miles before you start to actually get a CO2 benefit…
Didn’t Tesla cars used to be the eco-twat’s wank-chariot of choice before the South African Badman bought Twitter?
Now they’re symbols of white supremacy or something.
Electric cars are mainly charged by fossil fuels
Probably more so than ICE vehicles given system losses.

“Bristol is the disproof of the contention.”
Awful lot of students in Bristol, around 43,000 or 9% of the population, and Clifton is awash with them. So likely done by some deranged student (probably from Bath) rather than a Bristolian.
In similar lunacy, earlier today the Green Party promised to nationalise the Post Office….
Not the Royal Mail, the Post Office. The bit already owned by the Government.
Brostol should be targeted with multiple performances of Handle’s Missile.

Volvo stated 80,000 miles. Dunno if break-even includes the two or three battery replacements, probably not
My old Rover 820Si was at ~340,000 miles when chasis rust killed it. Engine, gearbox, electrics, interior were all perfect. Over 15 years I had to replace rear exhaust boz, burnt valve, timing belt, tyres twice; clutch, ignition ECU, front dampers, radiator, speedo sender, starter motor once. All DIY with trade prices – less than £1,000 inc annual services
Great car: 0-60 8.7 sec, max 130mph, 36mpg
Purchase price for 5yr old £20k car with (first) burnt valve: £750

They are – but its fishmen cults.
