It's crazy they felt this was a necessary step vs creating their own online storefront. I understand the convenience and appeal of Amazon when it comes to daily basics and essentials. But a car? How often does one buy a car?

I have a feeling Amazon offered it to them, not the other way around.

Well look man Amazon has the infrastructure and means so I don't see why not

Maybe Amazon can drone deliver a car to your house.

They could even drop it via a parachute.

How do cars even get transported in bulk.

You've seen those semis carrying cars.
