I am currently planning a solid masonry carport for a new build. Initially, I decided against a garage door because I find a carport simpler. You can just drive in and out without having to open a door. Since I won’t be storing anything valuable in the carport, I didn’t see the point in having a garage door. The charging station in the carport can be switched on and off from inside the house, so misuse is ruled out.
What do you think? Are there good reasons for a garage door that I might have overlooked?

Advantage of a garage: secure storage space.
Often, garages cost so much more than the cars and items stored inside that it raises questions about the cost-benefit ratio.
We built a tall carport because our motorhome (which is quite valuable), convertible, and tractor (both not very valuable but still needing care) are somewhat sensitive to weather. The metal-roofed cars are parked outside.
