> What if you live in an apartment and only use your car for weekend activities?

Then you probably live in a city and would be better served by transport modes where you don't need a big upfront cost, and other expenses and hassle of owning your own vehicle. I mean bus, tram, metro rail, taxi, uber.

You can always qualify with further "what if you..." to find someone who matches this case. But by the time you're done it won't be a viable number of customers.

People who live in big cities and ride crowded public transport every day to work, do not want to spend their free time on the weekend riding crowded public transport in the city.

The cars are used to get away from crowds and from the city, to have some privacy and comfort and go out into nature.

If the intent was to be green, to minimize your carbon footprint, then you would buy an older, pre-owned, small displacement vehicle instead.
