BR may not be getting a new bridge, but we're getting a 75ft tall Vending Machine for Cars

Carvana, an online used vehicle dealer that entered the Baton Rouge market about a year ago, has been issued a permit to build a 75 foot tall "car vending machine" on Rieger Road.
A permit was issued this week for a 5,780 square foot facility at 11331 Rieger. In November, the East Baton Rouge Planning Commission approved Carvana's plans to build a dealership at the site.
Carvana officials said they did not have any information to share about the facility.
While the company has been in the Baton Rouge market since February 2021, Carvana does not have a physical presence.
Instead, people who live near Baton Rouge can shop for and buy vehicles through the website, arrange financing, sell a vehicle or work out a trade-in. Carvana provides contactless delivery or pickup and check drop off as soon as the next day. Buyers have a seven-day free return period.
The company has 31 car vending machines across the U.S., in major cities such as Houston, Atlanta and Nashville. Customers who buy a vehicle through Carvana arrange a pickup time and are given an oversized coin at the vending machine. The structure is activated by the coins and buyers can watch their vehicle slowly descend down the all-glass tower.

Those things are pretty cool to see. We always stop in the travel lanes of I-10 just past the beltway to take pictures of the one in Houston when we're on our way out West.

I ain't shaking that bitch if a Kia Soul gets stuck and gums up the works.

I think Nashville was the first one I saw and I didn't know what the hell it was.

Ford can't even build a truck you order inside of 6 months.
Where do they plan on finding enough cars to justify a whole vending machine?

It’s had very few cars in it recently. 2 weeks ago, I swear I’m not exaggerating that there were MAYBE 3 cars in the ‘machine’.

Put it downtown and it would make it actually look like BR has a skyline.

Always looking on the bright side LOL.

The Chevy dealership by the house has 4 new Cars on lot. And a shite ton of used. They have 2 2020 Explorers XLTs on lot with 20-30k miles and they are listed at 41k and 42k. That is more than a 2022 explorer XLT
