Hyundai to Be First Automaker to Sell New Cars on Amazon

This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
I bet the delivery guy would still pretend he knocked the door and still mark it as if no one was home
Article I could see before paywalled says auto dealers will be able to sell on Amazon. So this won't be Hyundai selling direct to customers which is the way it should be in 2024. So this isn't a win.
So it's going to be like TrueCar or Kelly Blue Book where you give your info and then get harassed for weeks by every dealership in a 500 mile radius?
To be fair the current automotive market creates a lot of dealerships and reduces the risk for car yard salesmen etc and gives the customer the opportunity to shop around, it's just that with the recent concerns like global warming, e bikes becoming popular and the cartel of automotive techs, the competition has shifted away from dealerships and low level players towards pressuring producers to create a paradigm shift for everyone else to fit into.
