97% of car purchases involve online interaction, yet auto e-commerce encompasses just 1% of the $841B auto market today

99% are dissatisfied w/ today's current car buying process

Let's talk about 3 undervalued players that'll compete w/ $CVNA

$VRM $SFT $LOTZ

//THREAD
$VRM

- CEO Paul Hennessey, former CEO of Priceline

- Baillie Gifford raised stake 130% Q/Q

- Analysts expect revenue of $11.6B by 2025, up from $1.35B today

- Projected revenue CAGR of 64% through 2023

- Post-IPO consolidation b/w $30-45 for several months after high of $75
$SFT

- Low valuation at just a $693M market cap

- Average buy consensus from seven analyst ratings at PT $15.50

-Similar contraction pattern to $VRM after hitting highs near $14 on Sept 1

- Big presence on the West coast

- Revenue CAGR of 92% projected through 2023
$LOTZ

- Buy/sell/consign used cars

- Leading NPS score, seemingly top-notch customer reviews

- Just expanded to West Coast and opened 2nd FLA locations

- Company sees revenue of $110M booming to $1.7B by 2023, unit sales jumping from 6k to 80k, and profit from $12M to $250M
From a TA perspective-

- These three charts are all looking very similar to $CVNA's early chart

- Initial spike followed by a sharp drop to bounce off of the lower 3rd Bollinger band

- Consolidation, then swinging slightly up before it potentially explodes 🚀
The underpenetrated market that supports MULTIPLE disruptive players 👇 $VRM $SFT $LOTZ
By 2030, we'll look back and laugh at how we used to spend hours at dealerships dealing with used car salesmen

All true disruptors like $ABNB $UBER face the "that'll never catch on" FUD

This is a massive, underpenetrated market ripe for disruption
I'm holding a full position in $VRM

Building positions in $SFT and $LOTZ to diversify and for the growth potential

Auto ecomm is in the top of the 1st inning, and COVID-19 simply accelerated an already emerging trend
