Yes, but I wouldn't have to spend x thousands euro first for something
that corrodes more or less silently in my garage most of its lifetime.
And why should I want to have a garage, I want a larger garden instead
:-) I would spread the costs for transportation over time and still have
the choice to cancel the service at any time.
There should be some ways for the provider of this service to reduce
costs and increase the efficiency. Less cars in use, standardization of
components, pooled maintenance, buy in large quantities, etc. Time and
market will show if such a system will have its chance :-)
