While that might be convenient for some, that is still selling vehicles through a 3rd party.
I don’t understand why Hyundai even has a “build your own car” feature on their website as you can’t actually order that way directly from them nor can you just waltz down to the dealership and have them order it for you as they’re only allocated whatever Hyundai decides to build and send them (at least with the new EVs).
This is where I figured I’ll end up getting a Tesla. I built the Ioniq 5 and it has no option to order. Just “We don’t have anything matching that. Here’s something that’s ‘close enough’ you can spend $65k on.”
Same (though I’ll probably just keep driving my Camry)! I want a RWD Limited Ioniq 5 with matte paint but they’ve been pretty impossible to find out in the wild and definitely impossible to order. I suppose I’ll just wait a few years and maybe get an EV when Toyota finally releases a real one and not just some compliance car.
Hyundai is trying to sell cars on Amazon.

It’s a step in the right direction. Another example of legacy auto copying Tesla. It is a good thing.
Keep in mind that some people buy private party to not go through a dealership.
