Your friend sounds like an idiot. (nm) - zodiac6 JC - 3/5 13:27:12

I think buying cars online is optimal. - Newcatbirdseat MU - 3/5 12:56:02

It cuts some useless boarhog tits out of the equation. - SabertoothTiger MU - 3/5 12:58:49

I don't have millenail children nor am I a millenial. Not - SabertoothTiger MU - 3/5 12:54:30

Why do you think that just because you text, tweet, - tgr MU

- 3/5 12:59:23

they are at live events and are more engaged in the phone - SabertoothTiger MU - 3/5 13:02:05

And in 2 or 3 years, you likely aren't going to remember the - tgr MU

- 3/5 13:05:24

You don't remember an event, at all, after 2 or 3 years? - Newcatbirdseat MU - 3/5 13:06:44

Depends on the event. Some random soccer or baseball game - tgr MU

- 3/5 13:10:45

In 20 years fully automated cars will have replaced just - kcnorthside KC - 3/5 12:49:22

I think it'll take longer than that - Joeboo MU

- 3/5 12:54:03

And there's a lot of pushback and many states - Domino MU

- 3/5 12:57:51

the fully auto car revolution isnt going to happen - colonel angus beef KC - 3/5 12:51:35

It will be tough since not everyone is going to have it - HandBanana MU - 3/5 12:56:27

That's the thing about technology. It can be difficult to - kcnorthside KC - 3/5 12:55:33

it's going to populate throughout the shipping/trucking - Joeboo MU

- 3/5 12:57:13

the simpsons already did it. - colonel angus beef KC - 3/5 13:03:29

And Uber is an unsustainable business model without - kcnorthside KC - 3/5 12:59:17

It will take a while, but it will definitely happen. - Zeaux MU

- 3/5 12:54:51

not in America - Joeboo MU

- 3/5 12:54:43

I am ready for fully automated cars. Would love to just - HandBanana MU - 3/5 12:51:32

word(nm) - cnk ATL - 3/5 12:54:04

i don't think i would ever buy a car online(nm) - TigerA MU - 3/5 12:37:20

i bought an audi online in about 2001. Never saw it until - blake1771 KC - 3/5 12:54:39

If you knew the car you wanted - kcmizzou99 MU - 3/5 12:46:26

People that are buying online probably don't want to - tigerdb MU - 3/5 12:49:45

Cars need to be fully returnable within lets say a 30 day - HandBanana MU - 3/5 12:53:13

oh for sure test drive - kcmizzou99 MU - 3/5 12:52:05

I'd buy a new car online or one with a warranty but just - lqf2b8 MU

- 3/5 12:44:27

I don't think car purchases will move mostly online until - Joeboo MU

- 3/5 12:27:54

Can't really cut out dealerships. - Zeaux MU

- 3/5 12:51:28

purchasing things online means one is lazy?(nm) - cnk ATL - 3/5 12:26:01

not things, but cars, I use amazon more than anything - Macgrantt MU - 3/5 12:27:45

personally, I don't see that much of a difference - cnk ATL - 3/5 12:31:06

I don't go to the bank to handle most of my banking needs. - kcnorthside KC - 3/5 12:53:08

Or maybe Tesla is in financial trouble and shutting showroom - DHighlander KC - 3/5 12:24:53

I think Tesla Motors will be out of business in 5 years - Joeboo MU

- 3/5 12:24:30

But those 2 service centers probably are within 50 - StaleyTiger MU - 3/5 12:38:23

but a lot of rural Missourians spend a lot of money on - Joeboo MU

- 3/5 12:44:26

For sure but you don't see a lot of $100k Mercedes or - StaleyTiger MU - 3/5 12:48:43

i thought those were the dominant species out here. - colonel angus beef KC - 3/5 12:46:48

Rural Missouri, where you can buy an $80,000 house - Joeboo MU

- 3/5 12:47:51

He probably doesn't mean it but he has stated that he - lqf2b8 MU

- 3/5 12:32:36

That is the basic business model Goolgle used when - DHighlander KC - 3/5 12:36:35

I think the exact opposite is going to occur. With their - tgr MU

- 3/5 12:30:54

Not with poor customer service and low reliability.(nm) - DHighlander KC - 3/5 12:37:12

They're not built well, compared to other "luxury" cars - Joeboo MU

- 3/5 12:42:24

It hasn't hurt them so far. - tgr MU

- 3/5 12:42:24

Yeah, Tesla may not survive, but other companies will follow - Domino MU

- 3/5 12:29:08

New cars will eventually be dominated by online sales - lqf2b8 MU

- 3/5 12:21:40

Also said some are starting to timeshare hi end sports cars - Macgrantt MU - 3/5 12:24:57

The way it's done now just isn't efficient - Domino MU

- 3/5 12:24:19

That may be true on the east coast. I do not see it - DHighlander KC - 3/5 12:23:31

It's already happening in bigger cities. I know a lot of - kmawv8 MU - 3/5 12:37:38

Sorry, Chicago, Denver and Portland are NOT middle America. - DHighlander KC - 3/5 12:44:31

^^^hippie^^^(nm) - cnk ATL - 3/5 12:39:18

I could see the average number of cars per family dropping - lqf2b8 MU

- 3/5 12:27:12

That seems a bit silly, I think people will still own cars - MidMoBaller4Life MU - 3/5 12:23:18

Smaller towns, sure - Domino MU

- 3/5 12:26:58

We may be very different but I would not give up my personal - DHighlander KC - 3/5 12:40:30

It's 70% now. In a couple of years it'll be close to 100% - Domino MU

- 3/5 12:43:53

30% of the time he can hire an uber or rent a car - lqf2b8 MU

- 3/5 12:42:26

You also have to figure in convenience to that equation. - DHighlander KC - 3/5 12:50:10

Some of that, the ride share is more convenient - Domino MU

- 3/5 12:56:36

truth(nm) - Domino MU

- 3/5 12:44:15

imagine, if you can, a world where most jobs are remote - lqf2b8 MU

- 3/5 12:26:04

I am biased because I love cars - MidMoBaller4Life MU - 3/5 12:34:27

It certainly won't happen all at once but the views on cars - lqf2b8 MU
