    So here’s the thing…my car doesn’t need a fucking house. My car can live outside just fine. I don’t park my car outside because my garage is “filled with junk,” but because it’s filled with gym equipment, tools, and gardening supplies.

      My garage houses my hobby.

      Which is my car.

        I can appreciate that your car is your hobby. My car is a neglected stepchild.

          Better as a car than a hobby, I suppose.

        Same. The daily lives outside. The old car lives inside.

      While EVs are perfectly happy keeping their batteries conditioned when plugged in outside, having them in a garage may reduce the energy cost somewhat in particularly hot/cold weather.

      Where you primarily store your car affects your car insurance rates. It’s why they ask you when getting a quote.
