Rural living does come with challenges that urban living does not. A hybrid might be the best solution for that situation.

I don't think EV is the solution for everyone everywhere in its current state. Perhaps one day it will be as the tech improves.

I do think that most urban commuting could and should be done in EVs.

Metal roofing exists. It's more like sheets than shingles. Not aware of metal shingles but I think it could work.

Your selective math is not doing you any favors and I'm not sure you fully understand what I'm suggesting. Do you know what TCO is?

I actually did this for a while and it worked out well for me. My divorcemobile was a very old and very used 1st generation Prius. I rented pickup trucks for vacations. I didn't leave town 1x/month, not sure why that is a need. But this points out that everyone has very different scenarios and needs.

More recently I've took a vacation by train and rented a car at my destination which worked out well.

When the day comes where we can buy econobox EVs this seems like a viable solution to me. But it does depend on a person's transportation needs.

I connect my Pixel 8 to my PC with a USB a to USB c cable. Plenty fast.

I bought it from google, off their website. On sale.

I recently bought a Pixel 8 and put grapheneos on it. Pretty happy with it but quite the learning curve.

I think owning a commuter car with shorter range and renting anytime you need longer range makes a lot of sense. I don't know why more people don't do it.

Most software is built on free samples. Games, for example, very often have free demos...still..after decades. Free demos sold me on many games over the years. And one day, I'll pay for Proton too.

In this thread: OP scaring the Americans because they think what they see in OP's pictures is the extent of the wall.

If fact, OP is just building out from an existing wall that is behind the OSB in his pictures.

Grogon, ask a local carpenter. I don't think Americans understand your German construction.
