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”.

      For literally every reason except height and some very limited accessibility uses, we had station wagons and they worked fine. The real reason is an arms race over height. People liked being able to see over other cars. Except then everyone got an SUV, so the advantage was erased and everyone who didn’t buy an SUV was screwed, and the only people who actually gained anything were the ones making more expensive SUVs.
