It's crazy they felt this was a necessary step vs creating their own online storefront. I understand the convenience and appeal of Amazon when it comes to daily basics and essentials. But a car? How often does one buy a car?

I have a feeling Amazon offered it to them, not the other way around.

Well look man Amazon has the infrastructure and means so I don't see why not

Maybe Amazon can drone deliver a car to your house.

They could even drop it via a parachute.

Haha, would only work in NZ or somewhere small like Switzerland

I was going to say this is hardly another package, but they are probably already experienced dealing with containers at some point of the chain?
How do cars even get transported in bulk.
