Thats a very good point Prisoner, well played!Why do I only see TV adverts for 'luxury' EVs that are too big, too heavy and too full of useless tech junk than they need to be, if the object is to reduce environmental impact and eliminate GHG emissions?
It's all virtue signalling and humble bragging for most EV owners.
I had the same thing from the same dairy for a while, as I imagine all but the profoundly deaf did in every road it went down. Absolutely ridiculous that it is legal (assuming it is).funny enough i was really irked in the summer by the neighbours getting milked delivered and waking me up, its really environmentally friendly until its delivered at 2am in a bloody noisy diesel truck like thisView attachment 48434
Now this is bait I can get on board withWhy do I only see TV adverts for 'luxury' EVs that are too big, too heavy and too full of useless tech junk than they need to be, if the object is to reduce environmental impact and eliminate GHG emissions?

I bought 2 new tyres today - they were £99 each. (for my car you can pay anything from £65 to £145 depending on the brand and fitter). I tend to go for higher quality tyre but not the very top brands)
The tyre business owner said he was fitting some tyres for a Tesla tomorrow. They needed to be ordered in specially and were costing the owner around £280 each. I don't know the model type, but the guy told me you can't just fit any tyre (of the correct size) to a Tesla. Tesla specify a particular one. Its nothing something that has been mentioned before on here when calculating the cost of running a Tesla. I don't know if this is just a Tesla thing.
Feel sorry for the EV geeks who have been royaly shafted by the Govt.
We all knew that unless you just do the school run or pop to the shops they're pretty much a waste of time but not only that many of them are now pretty much worthless.
How much is the VED going to be?
Did you go Betamax as well?You could have just said you don't know!
BetaMax was better than VHSDid you go Betamax as well?
Every day you bang that broken drum, it falls apart more and more. I find it funny that you're still even trying to get a tune out of itWe all know EV's are a gimmick and not fit for purpose.
I suppose you don't know what Tesla it was, and the tyre size? My mate just got 4 Pirelli's from Blackcircles for his model 3, and they were only £600 all in.I bought 2 new tyres today - they were £99 each.

When VED goes out for EV in 2025 they're going to be taxed at £10 I think, for the first year, then go to something like £150 per year. I'll eat my hat if they don't jack up the VED cost on a similar-performance ICE car by the same amount.It appears the tyre business owner must have given me false information if Telsa tyres can be bought for £112 each etc and they can use the same tyres as ICE vehicles.
I would have thought VED will be the same as ICE vehicle of equivalent type say BMW 3 series for basic Tesla.
