Re: Tesla's entry-level Model 3 vehicle is £28,500
You'll note they call it *vehicle* tax... not road tax.
Churchill was right - the pedantry isn't about the excise duty/tax bit of the phrase... The tax has nothing to do with roads funding.
The roads were not built for cars, and car drivers do not pay for them. That's the point that is made by correcting the continued misnaming of the regressive revenue stream that is VED/car-tax.
