Online auto seller Carvana received approval to build one of its growing slate of 75-foot-high car “vending machine” towers in the San Diego suburb of Escondido, California, as the company grows its real estate presence at an otherwise tough time for automotive sales.
Carvana obtained zoning and other clearances from the Escondido City Council to build its third California retail site, where customers pick up used cars they’ve already purchased online by putting a metal coin into a slot at the base of an eight-story, glass-and-steel structure displaying and dispensing vehicles.
