You’d have to ditch low density housing to make public transport affordable.

But don’t be so hasty to dismiss culture as an opportunity: Musk turned electric cars from a joke into something the rich wanted to show off with.

And the rest of the planet drives with internal combustion engines. The cars Germans replace with electric ones (or obsoletes due to emissions) are sent to other countries.
