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”.

    Getting into the car, driving position, visibility, ground clearance…

    SUV is the best car format for many, if not most people. My last car was an SUV. If you need a car at all, those are good properties for the car to have.

    Currently, I don’t have a car at all and I’m very happy because of that. But if I really needed one it would be an SUV.

      Worse aerodynamics, worse stability, more prone to roll over, will more likely kill the driver of another car in a crash, will more likely kill a pedestrian. Etc etc.

      It comes with a cost.
