I haven't been that way in quite a while and need to know. Google maps doesn't show any buildings except that Carvana tower right there but I know there's a bunch of open space. 1400 brockwell Rd is the address
I didn’t think Tesla had dealerships, just stores and service centers. I think you still order online.
There is one in Wexford.
I’ve seen the facility in Wexford but have never been in. Do you go in, look around, test drive then order online and wait for your car? Or, do you go in, look around, test drive, pick a car from the lot, give Elon a lot of money, then leave with a car?
From the highway, it looks like there is a showroom and inventory. I’m not in the economic bracket to buy Elon’s products so the mechanics of purchasing is a mystery to me.
fuck tesla and carvana
How much longer will that Carvana dealership last?
Carvana will be lucky to avoid bankruptcy. Their stock is down 98% since August 2021 and their corporate notes are requiring 30% yields to sell.
Bought my car from Carvana. I had a great experience & it was so much easier than putting up with a dealership. They even gave me more than KBB on my trade. Only issue I ran into was with my registration, the temp tag ran out and registration hadn't been completed, but it ended up being a miscommunication between them and my bank. Carvana even paid for a rental for 2 weeks so I wouldn't be stuck without a vehicle. However, since then I've heard some bad reviews from people I know that went with them.
I had my temp tags expire twice using Carvana and both times they told me I would just have to wait for my tags in the mail. For the second vehicle, I ended up going to a notary / plate dealer and getting new tags issued for the vehicle because it had been 3 weeks and I needed to use the vehicle.
Half of the lights have been burnt out for weeks on the main sign. Can’t imagine much longer.

Gotta be tough for used car dealers now. I dont have any personal experience with carvana, but my 2 current vehicles were both purchased within a year of eachother from CarSense before they became Carshop. I have no complaints. Both were great deals especially considering used car prices these days. I've looked around just trying to think ahead in case one of ours shits the bed and it's ridiculous how much I'd have to spend just to replace one. They're asking upwards of $5k more than we spent 3 or 4 years ago to literally get the same thing we have now at the same mileage which is around 80k.
I can’t imagine it will be open very long with how Musk is running his own companies into the ground.
Saw this in a Times article:
“Only a few months ago would-be buyers had to wait months for a new Tesla. Now the cars are available within days”
Musk is skewering Twitter and taking Tesla down with it.
You know the saying:
"Go Alt-Right, go broke."
​
Woke politics are generally profitable, MAGA alt-right not so much.
I don’t know if I completely agree, but I read somewhere that the whole idea behind electric cars is “woke”. Musk is pushing hard to be the head “anti-woke” cheerleader. It doesn’t make very good business sense.
Well, he will have a fleet of evil robot cars in his woke customers' garages. I was one of the latter until a couple of years ago.
It's amazing how different sources can shine either a positive or negative light on the same situation. What you just quoted would have the reader believe no one wants the cars anymore. What the reality is is that they've ramped up production so much that they've been able to dwindle the ever growing wait list down that far. Tesla believes it will be the world's highest-selling vehicle by revenue in 2022, and by overall volume in 2023. That's total overall in every segment. Made with American parts in American factories by American workers. I have no idea why they get so much hate.
Tesla is nowhere close to the top in either of those categories
I get that you are saying “Tesla believes “ it will happen. It’s either a very old source, or just Elon being Elon.
EV’s are only about 1% of the total market. Tesla does lead that small segment.
It’s interesting because the hate used to come almost exclusively from the rolling coal loving nimrods who think electric cars are some liberal anti-merican conspiracy just shy of taking their guns. But now for some inexplicable reason, Musk has gone on an absolute bender to alienate the very people that are his core customers. And now those people are driving the Tesla hate. Clearly the Twitter project has turned out to be one of the most tone deaf endeavors Musk has undertaken.
An almost 70% drop in Tesla's stock price YTD would seem to indicate more of a problem than you are willing to admit.
I was going to say, that quote doesn't explain whether the cars are more available because of increasing supply or diminishing demand.
>I have no idea why they get so much hate.
Because the company is funding Musk's Twitter takeover and he's using Twitter as a means to stoke the "Culture War". Example - tweeting about how he "owned the libs" by buying Twitter, saying he did it for "free speech" but bans whoever offends him, endorses Republicans, etc.
I've gone from a positive view of Tesla to a "would never buy" stance in ~2 years because I'm not willing to be associated with the Musk brand. I think there are a lot more interesting cars emerging in the space (iQ5, Polestar 2, EV6, etc) to the point where I genuinely have better alternatives.
To be clear I don't give a shit who the CEOs of these other companies donate to or what their politics are, I just care that they're not trying to actively trolling Americans on a regular basis and when someone sees my car they're not thinking "oh this guy probably loves what Musk stands for".
I’m not sure either. I’m not a fan of Musk but Tesla ignited interest in EVs and is still the leader in related battery tech. I’m proud they’re an American company and that we manufacture here.
I'll wait for acuras. They look much nicer and prob won't catch fire 👀
Slaves....people have seen the videos of the mines where the materials are sourced for those batteries.
People are just as upset with companies like Apple for the same reason
Found the Musk fanboy.
Are you onwe of those weird musk nerds?
Yes! I think it just opened a few weeks ago.
That makes more sense, other guy said a couple years..... Can't believe I didn't know about it is that was true

The Tesla dealership is new, was built over the summer, and just opened a few weeks ago. It most definitely has not been there for a couple years
