A Tesla 3 weighs less than a BMW 3 Series - and the tyres on mine have easily outlasted the tyres on my ICE cars. I have yet to see clouds of tyre dust pollution from BMW's, Audi's, Range Rovers and all the other heavier ICE engined cars mentioned - or the fact that they're just chewing up the roads.

I don't mind paying road tax for using the road - but it probably needs a bit of a redesign as it's currently based on C02 emissions. My Morgan, which weighs very little is £630 a year.
