They are a PIA when they get wet and you need to go somewhere. I'm lucky I have a garage at home, as for work the car has to get a little dirty so I have something to do on Saturday morning so I don't ever cover it at work.
Like someone else said you'll probably get pretty tired of that.

excellent info. ONLY use a car cover on a car you’ve recently cleaned that same day. constant putting on and taking off is going to scratch your paint real quick. just imagine wiping your dirty car down with a dry towel... ouch.
