This would fail the first sale doctrine. Once you purchase it, it's yours, licensing it is different. If you have purchased the vehicle, it's yours to do as you wish.

If you had read the article you’d know that other companies have done this before so clearly it works.

  Those companies license the product. If you had read my comment you would understand.

    So Ferrari license rather than sell their cars?

First sale doctrine is about copyrighted works that can be copied at low or zero costs.

It seems more a weird spin on right of first refusal that is added to the original sales contract. It’s a ROFR with a pre-negotiated price. The pre- negotiated price is the odd part. Generally a first refusal gives the ROFR holder the right to buy the asset at the selling price the other buyer is willing to pay. This is a bit different.
