But people make huge strategic mistakes in their life because of "might". Basically it's hoarding behavior.

I might need this kayak, so it'll take up space in my life as I move it from apartment to condo to home for the next 20 years. Storage units are full of these mistakes.

I think some EV manufacturers (Fiat?) tried to alleviate this by offering rental cars for a certain number of days per year to people who bought their cars.

(that said after driving an electric car renting a gas car seems sort of like copping out - silly strategy)
