I still think that we're the exception. The car dealership model works for the majority of car purchasers to maximize profits for the dealership. We know better, so it's a pain in the ass navigating their sales methodology. For these average consumers, I don't know if direct to sales will save them any money, even Tesla is still putting together subprime loans to bury upside down trade-ins and profiting from it. In the US they're giving pretty uncompetitive trade in values to add even more to the bottom line. Not sure how it is in Canada.
