New car owners likely still need roadside assistance coverage since
even new vehicles get flats, lockouts, gas-outs, dead batteries, etc.

Your still paying for the tow, in the cost of the new vehicle

If one still needs to have roadside assistance with a new car then
he's saved nothing in that regard by buying a new car. Course some new
cars come with a few years of roadside assistance (Buick) and some
don't (Honda).
