Q. E. D.

I was thinking of doing the same thing... my interpretation;
Any vehicle (car, van or whatever) with a GVW of 3.5T or above (this includes any trainer part load or full it might be towing at any given time) then you are subject to EU Driver laws, assuming that you conduct the journey for commercial reasons and is in full or in part conducted on the public highway.
Any vehicle that is driven where the driver must comply with the above requires a tachograph fitted.
Where I fall down is understanding how you can then switch the vehicle into 'non-commercial' mode and go to the supermarket for example as the tacho will register the vehicles use without a card and through up an infringement. In addition, what happens when you drop inside the 3.5T... do you still use the tacho if fitted.
Have you read the entire thread including the linked pages? Your interpretation is a bit inaccurate, its been fought and won in court that a car is exempt, it claims an exemption which is written in black and white in the law.
