But this only addresses the supply side. The demand side has to be buying those two cars. The 1 person country car that one or two car would need to be bought by someone else there is no GDP consumption recorded

GDP doesn't measure the consumption side, it's just measuring production.

That's why in my 1 person country example, GDP still goes up, nobody has to buy the cars.
