Lars Wilderäng is a Swedish author and blogger. Quick overview: his topics generally revolve around defence policies (Russia bad, moar defence), economics (low interest rates bad, housing market speculation bad) and since the war started, the war in Ukraine (send Ukraine moar weapons). He hates Elon Musk but loves his Tesla. He hates ICE cars.
He’s unfortunately one of the “EVs will solve everything” people, which annoys me greatly, but today I saw a small car-related comment on his blog that actually made me laugh.
Oh and sorry for the misspelled “cyclists”.
Now that the SUV has been invented, the settlers can finally move into these harsh landscapes, which were unaccessible before.
This also explains why this phenomenon emerged in the US, because other continents simply don’t have hilly or mountainous regions.
Sarcasm aside, most of these vehicles are used for short trips on well-maintained city roads, to get to office and buy groceries. They aren’t even very useful for offroad tasks, no improvement on existing vehicles. Even worse, they are not useful to get around in cities.
But I really, really need that SUV to transport my 144 weekly loo rolls needed to sustain my 100% protein shake-only diet! Think about the gains man!
