Sho detta är jag, 20 år gammal och bosatt i Trollhättan. Jag lever life med vänner och väntar på att det ska bli min tur i livet. Jag kämpar mot en grov depression, ångest och självmord. Här ska jag försöka vara aktiv och posta varje dag om så bara en bild! Det är mycket nu så kommer göra mitt bästa❤️

Det är mycket som händer bror, 2023 i Trollhättan!

Saab Elbil Prototype, 1976. An electric van that started life as a project by ElectroMotion of Lexington, Massachusetts. The fuel crisis of 1973 had inspired interest in alternative fuel vehicles and ElectroMotion set out to create an electric delivery van for the U.S. Postal Service. They formed a collaboration with Saab US whose headquarters were nearby ElectroMotion's. Alas the US company went bankrupt without selling a single vehicle so Saab took over the project. They saw potential for the vehicle in the US but also in their home market in Sweden. The Saab version used many components from the Saab 99 and was even referred to the Saab 99 Electric Van however as the fuel crisis eased interest waned and the project never developed beyond a single prototype. It now resides in the Saab Car Museum in Trollhättan (Sweden).

There is a great tragedy at the core of our automotive industry. Saab, our beautiful Saab, lies dead. Beancounters and the automotive press conspired to make the oddball front-drive turbocharged mad scientists who kept inventing things even when it didn’t make any sense a failure. Now we all zip around in modern-day future cars derived from their innovations, without a stray thought for our demented Swedish philanthropists.

Sure, Saab is still “alive,” if you can call it that, a trademark and skin stretched over whatever desperate Chinese or Swedish government-owned sub-volume automaker has bought it this week. They’re making electric cars. No, hydrogen. No, nothing at all. Wait, maybe electric cars again, but slightly different. No, electric cars again, but big ones, the size of a bus. Two buses! They look like jets now. We can’t decide.

How many people are still employed by Saab? Ever since their Trollhättan offices had that witch’s spell cast on them and shifted into the Sidescape, it has been difficult to know for sure. Morale is not great: competitors are often flummoxed as a Saab employee suddenly materializes in their breakroom, the air displaced by their instant arrival knocking papers off the photocopier and coffee to the ground, ready for an interview. They cannot talk about the projects they have been working on, at least not in a language that the rest of us can still understand. Everyone admits, however, that some of the ideas they draw out on the whiteboard, prior to their sudden disappearance at the conclusion of the interview, are pretty good.

We may never know when Saab will release another car again. It may arrive at any moment, like their employees, complete with an accompanying fully-functional dealership on the outskirts of town, its sodium lamps eye-searingly bright in the night despite no obvious source of electrical supply being present. Everyone will agree that the cars are a little weird, a little ahead of their time, and just a little bit too risky to actually purchase. And Saab, our beautiful Saab, will dissolve back into the ether, leaving us with a bunch of cars we can’t figure out how to fix but desperately need to.
