Carvana has not been providing customers with vehicle titles in a timely manner plus a whole host of delivery and return problems.

This is simply a "pile on" by the established dealer's in the State (to use any tool necessary to push them out and now have the ears of the politicians).

This is a huge market. It's a small world. Texas could be next and that would be a kill shot for the company.

Make you money on the short side and never look back. Today 50% of the stock is shorted and that's to much weight to fight the gravity of bankruptcy. Carvana's billion dollar debt load demands a filing very soon.

Carvana is finished.

Overpaying for inventory wasn’t a problem when used car prices were going up 10% a month during the pandemic but now that they’re falling month over month they’re looking at awful write downs in their future.

It's their whole balance sheet. You destroy that inventory value the company is essentially bankrupt.

Amazing level of debt, stupidity, and bad luck.

It’s a temporary pause. This summer is a perfect storm of economic conditions that will have a record number of lease returns and repos.
