Drive to Hawai'i?!?

Good thing it was a fork and not a plastic knife. Plastic knives ARE lethal weapons.

I think I saw it recently at a hotel.

I think some places you can buy sheets and pillowcases separately and not in sets. What this can allow you to do is buy a flat sheet and use it on your mattress instead of a fitted sheet. You might need to buy a size bigger for this to work, I don't know.

The flat sheet should be better because you can tuck it under the mattress and it will not do that crazy balling up in the wash/dry.

I just talked myself into trying this someday.

Those suspenders must be too damn tight.

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.

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.

This is interesting. Do you know the company name and/or have a link?

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.
