Climate activists declare war on ‘gas guzzler’ cars... by vandalising an electric Tesla

Environmental activists who have declared war on “gas guzzler” cars have vandalised an electric-powered vehicle.

The controversial group, who call themselves the Tyre Extinguishers, targeted a Tesla car in Clifton, Bristol.

The owner was out walking his dog while the group deflated his tyres and left their signature leaflet on the windscreen, which states: “Your gas guzzler kills.”

It does not mark the first time the activists have seemingly erroneously deflated the tyres of electric vehicles, with a similar incident on a Tesla in the London area of Notting Hill last year.

Hey, give them a break - they don't call themselves "Tyre Extinguishers With A Clue".

Time to start shooting these people.

It’s not an accident. While they’re being paid to disrupt ice vehicles, they also hate Elon Musk.

This is what I expect from people who can’t figure out the differences between men and women.

But not all of the electricity comes from solar does it? The fact is, the green types want us to walk and bike anywhere we go, when we’re allowed to leave our cold homes.

Aren’t tesla’s equipped with cameras?

Most of these idgits have no idea where the OTHER end of that charging cable is connected to.

Not necessarily “stupid”, but products of state schools, which in Great Britain can be as abysmal as public schools are in many parts of the US. Although, on the whole, state schools in Great Britain have a more practical approach to learning than public schools here in the US.

The National Health Service still does not have adequate treatments of the pathological lack of rudimentary learning skills.

About 13K of the miles we drove last year in our EV were charged with solar. We drove it 26K miles, with 16K of those miles charged at home. And 83% of our home's power last year was provided by solar (83% of 16K miles = 13K miles).

The sign they made should have said “Your coal powered car is worse than my gas guzzler!”

RICO charges are in order

It’s not clear, are they simply deflating the tires by letting the air out of the valve or are they damaging the tire to deflate it? If the former, when they catch the little oeckers, make them inflate a full set of lorry tyres with bicycle pump. If the latter, use their intestines as patches and sell their kidneys to cover replacement costs.

It takes fossil fuels to make EVs.

Excellent for you. And for some others. But the reality is it’s not upscalable to the degree necessary
