Taking this to the extreme doesn't work. At some point it turns into "All software should be free because it doesn't cost you anything to give it to me."
A less extreme case is selling server software with a license based on how many CPUs you're running. Want more processing power? Pay us money and we'll enable you to spawn up more copies in parallel. This happens all the time.
I think Tesla will be fine in this regard... but I'm usually wrong any time I try to predict anything, so...
