I don't think it's strange. I often prefer to work or study in the car compared to using busy (library) or expensive (cafe/coworking space) alternatives. Home is reserved for relaxation and family, and I learned when I used to commute a long way by car that it serves as a mobile private and separate space that's perfect for self improvement and learning.

It wasn't uncomfortable to study in? No table or useful space to put things on to read or write, imo.

  No, I use software, digital reading and audio to study. I don't need a surface or to handwrite. Served me well through undergrad, PhD and 7+ languages :).

  I wonder whether there are any cars that can fit a good desk in the passenger seat. You’d have thought it’d be useful for a lot of people.

    Haha, it sounds like kids know what they are doing [0]! When I was a kid I had a "lap desk" for the car to do colouring that looked like this one: http://wpills.info/wp-content/uploads/2018/12/lap-desk-kids-lap-desk-for-kids-lap-desk-for-kids-lap-desk-kids-target-child-lap-desk-tray-lap-desk-pillow-childs-lap-desk-with-storage.jpg http://wpills.info/wp-content/uploads/2018/12/lap-desk-kids-...

I am affected strongly by association. I concentrate fine at work, but in my bedroom, my brain can't get out of relaxation mode. It's constantly going "this is the room we sleep in, it must be time for sleep" And I have gone to my car to study before. It works! Not everyone can have a home office. I was lucky to have the opportunity to move into a 4Mx5M bedroom with room for a large desk, office chair, and couch, and it helps immensely. The mind is powerful.
