What a chad! I wish German politicians had such energy.
The dumb thing about this taking myself as an example.
I drive a large heavy diesel 4x4, yes it’s not great on the pollution front I understand that.
But it’s all about perspective, I use mine to go on camping holidays for example.
Listening to someone who drives a Tesla criticise me for my lack of environmental awareness while going on 4 overseas flights per year that I don’t take is peak hypocrisy.
One long return flight per year contributes almost as much as my evil 4x4 does in a whole year.
why you have to turn everything into a culture war, it’s a tariff on inefficient polluting cars, that’s it.
If you live in a big city, then unless you’re using it for more than camping, you’re absolutely wasting money (your money), and polluting unnecessarily.
If you don’t live in a big city, then I totally get it. You need a bigger vehicle to deal with undeveloped rural roads, and adverse weather conditions year round. Personally, I’m a hunter, so I need my big truck nearly every weekend during hunting season, and in the off season I love to camp as well.
You often go camping in Paris? Also you know you can rent vehicles. It hasn’t happened yet but my family and another are looking to rent a big van for a camping trip this summer.
