Auto manufacturers are all in board with direct sales to customers
States have passed laws prohibiting (or making it difficult) direct sales at the lobbying of auto dealership groups.
This will be very limited, and expect to see more laws that stop it appear soon.
Looks like this is still routing through dealerships, not direct to customers:
It’s just Amazaon marketplace for cars
How long till it’s flooded with Chinese knock offs?
I don’t know, but Amazon does look more like AliExpress in the last couple of years anyway
Cheap Amazon junk isn’t regulated like cars are.
As long as there are safety regulations only allowing certain cars that meet their standards to drive on the roads, I don’t really care. If any company wants to make a cheap knockoff that meets safety standards, go for it.
Assuming Amazon will have transparent pricing
It seems it will only be a front-end for dealerships to post their available cars.
