Some car makers sell cars through their own stores or online, skipping the regular car dealerships. This means they talk directly to you when you buy a car.
Direct-to-consumer sales refer to manufacturers selling vehicles straight to buyers without using traditional dealership intermediaries. This model allows companies like Tesla to control pricing, customer experience, and inventory directly.
