Can YouTubers who frequently/exclusively film in their car Deduct car expenses?

Can YouTubers who frequently/exclusively film in their car. Deduct car expenses

 

I noticed that many YouTube content creators film their videos in their cars. ( Even though this is probably a matter of convenience) I was wondering if a content creator was profitable and the content creation was a part of a larger business, could they write off A portion of the car costs, maintenance expenses for their car or even the In depreciation of the car? In this scenario, the person is not using the car as transportation to conduct their business though. Let's say this person is not needing to meet people for business, But they are using this car in order to film their YouTube videos that is a part of their business
