Most the world is going this way. I was reading about fast food that have done away with counter workers and replaced them either with kiosk ordering or phone app ordering. Brick & Mortar sales are going to plummet for all things in the next 10 years. Pretty soon the only place you'll deal with a sales person is if you're spending an order of magnitude in price over regular consumer goods. You'll get your family 'there and back' car from a website or an app and it will be delivered to your designated pickup place (probably by robotic truck in the next 20 years), you'll do the credit application online and never deal with a person. Somewhere between a Lexus and a Lambo will you start to encounter sales people again.
Basically only the rich will be able to afford personal service, the rest of us will be dealing with screens.

They unload it in your driveway. All warrantied up. Every drive under warranty is a test drive!

Yeah I think they all will do this. Why pay for empty showrooms lots.
Everything new is selling at MSRP around here....Used cars on the other hand are outrageous.
Around here most of the grocery and department stores have gone to self check out, which I hated at first but now prefer.
I'm good thanks Jeff, it was the day after my booster for an hour and then I was fine.Feel better soon damit headaches are the worst

Spent many hours on several dealerships in several states. Before 2008 American manufacturers had far too many dealers and were at a huge disadvantage to the newer names from Japan as far as efficiency in today’s world. Old Ford tractor dealers could also become car dealers and every place with a few houses, half a dozen bars and a church had their own Ford store.
Many were weeded out at that time.

I am moving plants from veg to flower room....Debating if I want to run single or double ended lights. It's probably cool enough now to run the single ended if I run them at night. I guess I'll try them!!
I actually have 16 plants in veg and am only running 8....the other 8 are going to be massive by the time I am ready to flower them. They are already quite large

Take cuttings from them and compost them. Cuttings will be ready to flower before you are ready for them anyway. Select your schedule, you are in charge!I am moving plants from veg to flower room....Debating if I want to run single or double ended lights.

What if you don't like it?
Peak too soon?
Then you call them to come take it back. That's what CarMax does currently. Up to 30 days and 1500 miles you can still get a full refund.

Sounds like a pain if you don't. Sure it might just be a call but what if you don't like the way it drives.....ergonomics and stuff like that. Not every car, truck or suv feels the same. How many weeks will it take for something that could take 20 minutes?

The dealership model sucks anyway. I'd prefer to buy online.I have never changed struts myself....Shocks a few times, and they are bad enough....Iknowhave heard struts can be dangerous!
He will be surprised when he hits a bump and it doesn't bounce for 5 minutes
I need to car shop too. There is actually a new used car dealer down the road from me. I stopped in there the other day but not one price on any of them. My car needs tires before winter, and I would like to trade it before then.
I am thinking new car dealers will never be the same as pre Covid. They kind of have it made right now....They are selling everything full price or higher, and most everything is sold before it hits the lot. Why would they go back to having lot fulls. They are making more this way with less hassles. They all lie now too...They show 40 cars in inventory and when you get there, no cars.
You can test drive a tesla at their store then buy it online.

Indulged too late!
Service dealers will have to be close by. They could schedule them there. Charging a fee to test drive could be a new business model. They'll figure it out. They always do. I think we won't own cars once they are fully self-driving we'll simply rent them.
