A common standard can just mean more than one person. It doesn't have to be mainstream.
Think we've reached the stage of "well that depends on what your definition of 'is' is".
If we can't find agreement that in your example of the $50k car, USD is clearly the standard unit of account (vs. bitcoin) then I think we're just spinning our wheels.

It's the vendor's standard unit of account. Someone else has to agree to sell a certain amount of Bitcoin in order for the transaction to occur.

Its not only the vendor's standard unit of account. You (the buyer) also has to adhere to that standard unit of account by converting whatever asset you want into the standard unit of account in order to complete the transaction.
Every bitcoiner (except a couple in el zonte or bitcoin jungle?) conforms to the fiat currency standard of account for their geography when they want to make a purchase.
