Does the “Green” Government Threaten The Future of The British Car Industry?
In the last couple of weeks the British government have announced their plans to forbid further manufacture of motor vehicles with petrol, diesel and hybrid engines by 2035, or 2032, depending on the sources quoted.
Have they considered the effects of this plan?
Hear the thoughts from Michael Bond, Rumbler Cars founder and designer of the Rumbler Sport Tank.

Did Elon Musk and Tesla Motors get the design inspiration for their CyberTruck from British designer Michael Bond’s Rumbler Sport Tank?
At the end of 2019 Tesla Motors launched their speculative concept design for the CyberTruck, complete with not-bulletproof windows. But one question that came up in certain quarters in England was – did Tesla get their inspiration from US? Did Tesla take ideas from Rumbler?
Let’s take a look at the two and then compare details.
The wedge shape is apparent, and while the Rumbler aims to have real bulletproof windows for its VIP owners, the Tesla just has broken glass. That’s where the external comparison stops. The Tesla CyberTruck is promoted as just an electric pickup truck, the Rumbler is a Very Different beast. Here are the highlights.
IS it bulletproof?
Rumbler: Yes. Full protection for our VIP owners and superheroes against all those Jokers in the world.
Tesla: Obviously NOT, as clearly demonstrated by the inimitable Mr Musk himself on the day of the launch.
Is it wedge-shaped?
Rumbler: Yes. Because it looks amazing, awesome and great for deflection of bullets to protect our VIPs.
Tesla: Yes, but we have not idea why, it’s supposed to be a pickup truck, a more practical shape would have been the better choice.
IS it blastproof?
Rumbler: Yes. Our VIP protection extends to the body shape and structure to resist, deflect and diffuse the blastwaves of smaller to moderate-sized IEDs.
Tesla: Given the performance of the windows let’s say NO.
IS it practical off-road?
Rumbler: Yes. It has the same ground clearance ratio of height to wheelbase of a Range Rover, so that should suit most uses for chasing jokers through the night or escaping a zombie apocalypse/ LA traffic.
Tesla: Well, erm, it doesn’t look that practical, maybe good for a potter around the garden.
IS it comfortable?
Rumbler: Yes. It’s a luxury grand tourer wrapped in the shell of an armoured car. Should keep the zombies on the outside and you wrapped in comfort within.
Tesla: If you like that kind of thing.
Has it a good range?
Rumbler: Yes. Intended for long range safaris across deserts, steppe and more. Ideally, if you handle it well, should give you around 500-800 miles.
Tesla: It’s electric, they’re good for a couple of hundred miles, on a good day. And you can stop and enjoy the scenery while you recharge it, somewhere.
How big is it?
Rumbler: Bigger than a Range Rover. That’s the 2-seat version. The 4-seat version is bigger than that.
Rumbler: Yes, a veg/bio-fuelled hybrid with cleaner engine, cleaner exhaust, battery system, roof deck solar panels, and much more to-come. Use it anywhere in the world.
Tesla: It’s got batteries. That’s it.
It is stealth?
Rumbler: Yes. If you’re a superhero or VIP and need to escape and evade all those pesky jokers in the world this is the car for you. (Be careful out there.)
Tesla: No, it’s a pick up truck.
What’s the price?
Rumbler: If you have to ask the price you can’t afford it. But we both know you’re wealthy beyond dreams. Come and join us for your superhero adventure.
Tesla: $100 deposit, then add the price of a couple of Apple computers with all the options.
Do you have a big development team?
Rumbler: One man in England designed it all.
Tesla: Yes, the design team is amazing, look what they designed!
How much did it cost to develop ?
Rumbler: Thousands of pounds in English money. (Investors welcome to come and join.)
Tesla: Thousands of millions of dollars, can’t you see it in the design?
The Rumbler has been in development for several years as its creator Michael Bond worked alone to master the skills and prepare to raise the funds. Tesla in the meantime has access to thousands of millions of dollars in funding and a huge workforce.

There is no climate change apocalypse, except in the hysteria of politicians, tabloid press and climate change activists.
While the United Nations holds another Climate Change Conference (COP25) in Mardrid, scientists, engineers and designers all around the world are working to solve the problems of climate change and avert future disaster.
You will not hear their voice from the wilderness as the world’s press attention focuses on a bunch of highly-paid diplomats, climate scientists and consultants talk a lot about the problems they’ve identified in their offices.
The world of scientists, engineers and designers are solving the challenges of climate change, but you will never hear of their work while this apocalyptic hysteria dominates the world political and public agenda.
Michael Bond’s work at Rumbler Cars was inspired by the Batmobile from the Dark Knight movies. His ambition is to create a bold and dramatic supercar that embodies new concepts in engine and hybrid power trains. Greater efficiency, lower pollution and other improvements will contribute to the transition for a healthier, saner and more prosperous world.
There is NO climate apocalypse, there IS The Rumbler 505 Sport Tank.
