I know some (former) CDK alumni and I'm not surprised. Notorious for paying below market in engineering and IT. A place to cut your teeth but not to stay.
Why don't they have any competition?
If you run a SAAS you could offer this as a feature. Even hire data entry people to input transactions later if needed.

I would bet that a developer knew of the security issues, but was vetoed by Product.
I am personally not a fan of Tesla as a vehicle, but I admire the business model of buying directly from Tesla. Stealerships are a drain on the consumer. All that land they own can be used for productive economic activity or housing.
I'm trying to buy two cars right now, and this has put a big wrench in the process. The dealership can't tell me what's on their lot compared to what's on their Website, except by going out and searching.

Noteworthy exceptions: FAANG promotion bid orientation, and VC growth startup alignment towards shipping something to look like growth towards exit.
In a small minority of cases, you have developers who know what they are doing, and are thinking rigorously.
The norm isn't big-meanie Product making (forthright, courageous, photogenic) developers ship negligent security vulnerabilities, against developers' protests. Developers are at least as much responsible as Product.

My hot take is auto dealers are a notoriously painful enterprise sales cycle due to network effects aka "good 'ol boys" club (anecdotally from folks in tech who have to deal in this industry).
