I disagree, polluting vehicles are basically an enemy occupying force in our cities. Unless it’s a work vehicle, emergency services, there’s no reason to drive such a thing around a city. It’s not like the owners have no choice too, they could afford a smaller more practical car. Every bit of resistance helps. Hacking peoples behaviour is what we need.

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?

People from rural areas never have to go to the city...

With 99% certainty, every luxury SUV with fancy tyres and wheels in my suburb is definitely not a farm vehicle, nor has it ever been used off road.

I try not to but sometimes it happens. I don't drive enough outside of work to justify even the insurance on my car. So it stays parked and on the rare occasion I have to make a trip that's not for work, or on the way home from work, I must drive my truck. Sometimes I even need the truck outside of work.

This line of reasoning has no limiting principle.

Anything beyond anyone's personal stance on climate would become fair game for vigilante harassment.
