I think we're in the last decade of "buying" and owning a car individually. Seems natural that once self driving is competent enough to get unmanned cars from A to B, you'll just subscribe to your provider of choice and beckon a car when you need it, like Uber. It's basically public cloud for transportation. Our average utilization of our cars is terrible. Parking lots and garages are minimally required in this reality.
But yeah, it was pretty obvious that the dealer wasn't thrilled about carrying and selling this model. They don't push them or advertise them at all -- I'm guessing because they hardly go in for repairs or maintenance.
