I wish them the best of luck but dealerships are pretty entrenched in their ways. Just went through the car buying experience recently and the best way by far was to blast emails to all dealers with the specific trim+options we wanted and then use their written quotes to leverage against each other. I explicitly didn't do anything over the phone for this exact reason. One thing I found fascinating was that the local Subaru dealers was totally cool with this approach while trying to talk to Mazda dealers was like pulling teeth to get a window sheet or quote. Subaru took us ~2 days to nail down while Mazda was ~1.5 week of back and forth. The Tesla experience still beats all of them hands-down(we'd rather own a second Telsa if it was feasible) so I hope they can mix up things in some manner.
