No.
That is cluelessness.
No rational person will go for that.
You either own it or you don't.
But aftermarket sales at authorized dealers bring in a steady stream and modern car designs that reduce backyard maintenance are the rule today.
Also, Tesla's supercharger network does. And it too brings in recurring revenues. And their plan for letting owners monetize their cars while not in use might.

Tesla sells the car and gets a share of the owner's ride-share revenue.
Did you know TV makers get a cut of ad revenue generated by their "Smart" apps?

But the most interesting and telling reason for why TVs are now so cheap is because TV manufacturers have found a new revenue stream: advertising. If you buy a new TV today, you’re most likely buying a “smart” TV with software from either the manufacturer itself or a third-party company like Roku. The cut of the advertising revenue from those pre-installed video channels is big business for actual TV makers, as is the business of selling user viewing data and other information to marketers.
