Well, it was possible already 3 years ago to buy (new and used) cars in Romania with Bitcoin. At least one auto dealer, present in a couple of western cities was accepting Bitcoin.

I guess this is the website of that BMW dealer > https://bmw-grupwest.ro/.
It's interesting that the site doesn't show any news that they accept Bitcoin or other cryptocurrencies. I tried to search with "site:bmw-grupwest.ro crypto" and site:bmw-grupwest.ro bitcoin, but nothing comes up.

while Tesla keeps those bitcoins, what you've seen before were only shops using payment processors and while the payment processor was accepting Bitcoin, the shop received at the end of the day fiat in the bank account.
(Of course, if Tesla starts playing pump and dump games, I don't even know which option is worse...)

In some way, Tesla already did. It maybe can't be classified as a pump and dump scheme, but Musk made a statement the other day where he said that Tesla sold 10% of their Bitcoin bag. They took the opportunity to cash in on the price increase.

I hope that we will reach the point where we can buy chips and other snacks with bitcoin.

You already can if you use the Lightning Network and the store you buy at has a well-connected node. Netherlands is a place where some grocery stores allow their customers to pay via the LN.
