You'll pay more this way than at a dealership

I think manufacturers want to sell millions of cars to hundreds of dealers not millions of cars to millions of individuals.

I just bought 2 Teslas. It was so quick and easy. I will never buy from a dealer again.

Having sales people is always going to get any company more sales than if they don’t have sales reps.. in reality a lot of customer wouldn’t make a decision without some proper guidance/convincing

I’d happily just pay sticker to not deal with the nonsense of going back and forth. I just bought a 2026 RAV4. I bought it from the first place I was willing to drive getting one with the options I wanted without markup or dealer adds.

Manufacturers would be stuck with their inventory rather than getting paid once the vehicle hits the dealership lot. That’s insanely expensive, especially in a down market. It works for niche vehicles, but not for highly competitive vehicles.

The dealership model creates WASTE. I estimate it cost$ the average car buyer about $5k per vehicle MINIMUM.

It's funny how the dealerships operate like the mob and lie to consumers, get constantly sued for their scam practices, and find ways to overcharge the consumer in the name of "making a living".

What would you do with trades. Have to sell it Facebook lol. How do people take test drives? Touch it, feel it, see the color in person. Hopefully there is a 7 day refund if I am spending 50k plus and I don't like it.

If the car dealer model was so great they wouldn’t need franchise laws to protect them

I think cost would come down. Not to mention no dealer adds and financing markup

Imagine being able to order a zr1 online and having it delivered at MSRP.

What do you think about the huge lobbyist that won’t allow direct to consumer to happen?

I gotta say, I’ve bought 10 teslas and every single time was seamless and chill. I leased one Nissan leaf and it was the most annoying dealership experience ever. That was with a guaranteed lease price too…dealerships suck

I didn’t work in car sales because I thought every company was going direct to consumer in 2021. But it never happened outside of Tesla. I now work in car sales

So real questions here, how exactly do you think these manufacturers are gonna service these vehicles? You know, for warranty. Also, do you really think a manufacturer is gonna take your trade in? In my opinion, these are the two biggest factors keeping dealerships locked into the mix. Everything else is just semantics.

I live in a mountain town in Colorado. There are two dealerships (Ford/Subaru). What impact would that have? Would we only do Ford in Denver, 3+ hours away? Curious what you think. And what would a used car lot look like?

Just bought a BYD direct from the manufacturer. Easy experience, zero stress, good pricing.

What about people who do not live close to a plant. I guess the dealer comes in handy when you want to actually test drive and look at vehicles.

Dealerships and salespeople need to be ready to pivot because the business model is primed for disruption
