(Germany) All Volkswagen retail partners agree new sales model for ID. family

All Volkswagen retail partners have signed the agreement for the new sales model for vehicles from the all-electric ID. family. The sales launch of the ID.31 marks the start of the agency model for private customers and small commercial enterprises that has already proven its worth for major customers over many years. The benefit for customers: They can switch seamlessly between online and offline channels and order direct from Volkswagen, while their preferred dealer remains their local contact. The dealer assumes the role of agent under the new model and receives a commission from Volkswagen for this service.

Seems like that is only in regards to the sales model in Germany?

You are right - added this to title for clarification.

Will be curious to see if this expands later

I predict the dealer as order taker sales model won’t last.
