I live in a city and purchased an electric car for scuba diving, something I do regularly and wouldn't be able to do without it. According to the website, they'd have no problem deflating my tires. How can that be justified?
Anything beyond anyone's personal stance on climate would become fair game for vigilante harassment.
I use my vehicles for what they were designed for. I harm the environment far less than the average joe commuter in a prius. Why? I don't drive my giant big trucks and SUVs 20,000-30,000 miles a year - more like 2-3K. So he's spewing far more CO2 than me. How do you know who uses which car for what? Who hauls cargo? Pulls a trailer for the soccer team? etc. Why do you get to decide who it is just to injure?
If you think the climate "crisis" is so severe as to make unilateral acts of eco-terrorism morally acceptable, why not just go after the poor long distance commuters? Start slicing camry and prius tires in suburban bedroom communities instead!
Secondly, while it's absolutely your own opinion on who to judge in your private house, when you cross that line and start vandalizing my property, you can bet you're going to get called on it, charges pressed, and/or sued. Dumb. Make your point, but keep your hands off other people's property. If you desire change, vote accordingly or at least protest legally.
Finally, I'll point out that the brochure includes compact cross-overs RAV-4 as an SUV. Hardly. It's a tall compact car that barely seats four+, and can get 40+ mpg.
> But as an owner of three (???) cars,
first of all, I don't own three cars. I own exactly one, very sensible, car, one "SUV", and several other pieces of heavy equipment that are all used properly and efficiently. I'm far too cheap to waste money on status symbols or gas guzzling.
The concept that they advocate for should be the inverse of every fair minded human. Let's vandalize other peoples stuff if we don't agree (and anonymously downvote too!).
You’re not going to remove SUVs from the road but you can easily make them pay for the environment with some clever lobbying.
And if he really thinks he can mess with other people's things and get away with it, I won't be surprised if he's arrested or even shot someday.
There is nothing more about electric vehicles on the website.
Or it's just going to make SUV/Truck owners even more irritable and aggressive towards everyone on the road and in the parking lots.
edit: They should he pumping those bad boys up to 50psi, send them around corners like nobodies business
This is one step from a very slippery slope in the current day and age of anti-masking/vaccine/lockdowns.
