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

How much longer will that Carvana dealership last?

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.

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.

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 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".

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.

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 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.

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?
