I already know people who don't remember a time before the internet who don't understand why you have to go to a dealer and talk to anyone to buy a car when they can buy a 60" TV and have it delivered to their doorstep with three clicks on a computer mouse.

The difference with online shopping and car shopping is that I can usually return the stuff I buy online if they don't work as they should, or I am just not happy with it. Even if I can't, usually the cost is so low that I won't feel too bad over binning it.
A car, not so much. Tesla used to have a return policy but I believe they recently stopped doing it, so if you don't like something then you are stuck with it(or take a huge hit and resell it). So I would prefer something in real life before I make a decision. Doesn't have to be a dealer, just anything with real cars will do.
