(an Illinois corporation), CarLotz Nevada, LLC (a Delaware LLC), CarLotz California, LLC (a California LLC), Orange Grove Fleet Solutions, LLC (a Virginia LLC), Orange Peel Protection Reinsurance Co. Ltd. (a Turks and Caicos Islands, British West Indies company) and Orange Peel LLC (a Virginia LLC), which owns 100% of Orange Peel Reinsurance, Ltd. (a Turks and Caicos Islands, British West Indies company). Basis of Presentation On January 21, 2021 (the “Closing Date”), the Company consummated the previously announced merger pursuant to that certain Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of October 21, 2020, by and among the Company, Merger Sub and Former CarLotz, as amended by Amendment No. 1 to the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated December 16, 2020, by and among the Company, Merger Sub and Former CarLotz (See Note 3 “Merger” for further discussion). Pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, a business combination between the Company and Former CarLotz was effected through the merger of Merger Sub with and into Former CarLotz with Former CarLotz continuing as the surviving company. Notwithstanding the legal form of the Merger pursuant to the Merger Agreement, the Merger is accounted for as a reverse recapitalization in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Under this method of accounting, CarLotz is treated as the acquired company and Former CarLotz is treated as the acquiror for financial statement reporting and accounting purposes. As a result of Former CarLotz being the accounting acquirer, the financial reports filed with the SEC by the Company subsequent to the Merger are prepared “as if” Former CarLotz is the predecessor and legal successor to the Company. The historical operations of Former CarLotz are deemed to be those of the Company. Thus, the financial statements included in this report reflect (i) the historical operating results of Former CarLotz prior to the Merger, (ii) the combined results of the Company and Former CarLotz following the Merger on January 21, 2021, (iii) the assets and liabilities of Former CarLotz at their historical cost and (iv) the Company’s equity structure for all periods presented. The recapitalization of the number of shares of common stock attributable to the purchase of Former CarLotz in connection with the Merger is reflected retroactively to the earliest period presented and will be utilized for calculating earnings per share in all prior periods presented. No step-up basis of intangible assets or goodwill was recorded in the Merger transaction consistent with the treatment of the transaction as a reverse recapitalization of Former CarLotz. In connection with the Merger, Acamar Partners Acquisition Corp. changed its name to CarLotz, Inc. The Company’s common stock is now listed on The Nasdaq Global Market under the symbol “LOTZ” and warrants to purchase the common stock at an exercise price of $11.50 per share are listed on The Nasdaq Global Market under the symbol “LOTZW”. Prior to the Merger, the Company neither engaged in any operations nor generated any revenue. Until the Merger, based on the Company’s business activities, it was a “shell company” as defined under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). The accompanying interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (U.S. GAAP) and applicable rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) regarding interim financial reporting. Certain information and note disclosures normally included in annual financial statements have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. Therefore, these interim condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and related notes of Former CarLotz as of December 31, 2020 and 2019 and for the years ended December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018 (audited consolidated financial statements) contained in Post-Effective Amendment No. 1 to our Registration Statement on Form S-1 filed with the SEC on May 25, 2021. The condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2020, included herein, was derived from the audited consolidated financial statements of Former CarLotz as of that date contained in Post-Effective Amendment No. 1 to our Registration Statement on Form S-1 filed with the SEC on May 25, 2021. The unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the same basis as the audited consolidated financial statements and, in management’s opinion, include all adjustments, which consist of only normal recurring adjustments, necessary for the fair statement of the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 2021 and its results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020. The results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 are not necessarily indicative of the results expected for the current fiscal year or any other future periods.

Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies	Summary of Significant Accounting Policies For a detailed discussion about the Company’s significant accounting policies and for further information on accounting updates adopted in the prior year, see Note 2 to the audited consolidated financial statements. During the nine months ended September 30, 2021, there were no significant revisions to the Company’s significant accounting policies, other than those indicated herein. Use of Estimates The preparation of condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities. Following the closing of the Merger, Former CarLotz equity holders at the effective time of the Merger will have the contingent right to receive, in the aggregate, up to 7,500,000 shares of common stock if, from the closing of the Merger until the fifth anniversary thereof, the reported closing trading price of the common stock exceeds certain thresholds. Estimating the change in fair value of the earnout liability for the earnout shares that could be earned by Former CarLotz equity holders at the effective time of the Merger requires determining both the fair value valuation model to use and inputs to the valuation model. The fair value of the earnout shares was estimated by utilizing a Monte-Carlo simulation model, which is a commonly used valuation model for this type of transaction. Inputs that have a significant effect on the earnout shares valuation include the expected volatility, starting stock price, expected term, risk-free interest rate and the earnout hurdles. See Note 6 — Fair Value of Financial Instruments. Warrants that were issued by Acamar Partners (Merger warrants) and continue to exist following the closing of the Merger are accounted for as freestanding financial instruments. These warrants are classified as liabilities on the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheets and are recorded at their estimated fair value. The estimated fair value of the warrants is determined by using the market value in an active trading market. Beginning in the first quarter of 2020, the World Health Organization declared the outbreak and spread of the COVID-19 virus a pandemic. The outbreak is disrupting supply chains and impacting production and sales across a wide range of industries. The full economic impact of this pandemic has not been determined, including the impact on the Company’s suppliers, customers and credit markets. Due to the evolving and uncertain nature of COVID-19, it is reasonably possible that it could materially impact the Company’s estimates, particularly those noted above that require consideration of forecasted financial information, in the near to medium term. The ultimate impact will depend on numerous evolving factors that the Company may not be able to accurately predict, including the duration and extent of the pandemic, the impact of federal, state, local and foreign governmental actions, consumer behavior in response to the pandemic and other economic and operational conditions the Company may face. Restricted Cash As of September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, restricted cash included approximately $214 and $605, respectively. The restricted cash is legally and contractually restricted as collateral for a letter of credit issued on behalf of CarLotz Group, Inc. and for the payment of claims on the reinsurance companies. Marketable Securities The Company and its reinsurance subsidiaries invest excess cash in marketable securities in the ordinary course of conducting their operations and maintain a portfolio of marketable securities primarily comprised of fixed income debt securities. The Company has investments in marketable securities that are classified as available-for-sale securities and are reported at fair value. Unrealized gains and losses related to changes in the fair value of equity securities are recognized in other income (expense) in the Company’s condensed consolidated statements of operations. Unrealized gains and losses related to changes in the fair value of debt securities are recognized in Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income in the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheets. Changes in the fair value of available-for-sale debt securities impact the Company’s net income only when such securities are sold or when other-than-temporary impairment is recognized. Realized gains and losses on the sale of securities are determined by specific identification of each security’s cost basis and are recognized on the trade date. Management determines the appropriate classification of its investments at the time of purchase and re-evaluates the designations at each balance sheet date. The Company may sell certain of the Company’s marketable securities prior to their stated maturities for strategic reasons, including, but not limited to, anticipation of credit deterioration and duration management. The Company reviews its debt securities on a regular basis to evaluate whether or not any security has experienced an other-than-temporary decline in fair value. The Company considers factors such as the length of time and extent to which the market value has been less than the cost, the financial condition and near-term prospects of the issuer and the Company’s intent to sell, or whether it is more likely than not the Company will be required to sell the investment before recovery of the investment’s amortized cost basis. If the Company believes that an other-than-temporary decline exists in one of these securities, the Company will write down these investments to fair value through earnings. Capitalized website and internal-use software costs The Company capitalizes costs associated with customized internal-use software systems that have reached the application development stage. Such capitalized costs include external direct costs utilized in developing or obtaining the applications and payroll and payroll-related expenses for employees who are directly associated with the applications. Capitalization of such costs begins when the preliminary project stage is complete and ceases at the point in which the project is substantially complete and ready for its intended purpose. Amortization is computed using the straight-line method over 3 years. Advertising Costs The Company expenses advertising costs as they are incurred. Advertising costs are included in selling, general and administrative expenses on the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations. Advertising expenses were approximately $13,674 and $1,406 for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively. Concentration of Credit Risk Concentrations of credit risk with respect to accounts receivables are limited due to the large diversity and number of customers comprising the Company’s retail customer base. Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements In January 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2016-01, Financial Instruments-Overall (Subtopic 825-10): Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities . Subsequently, the FASB issued ASU 2018-03, Technical Corrections and Improvements to Financial Instruments-Overall. ASU 2016-01 requires equity investments except those under the equity method of accounting to be measured at fair value with the changes in fair value recognized in net income. ASU 2016-01 is effective for emerging growth companies following private company adoption dates in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, and interim periods within annual periods beginning after December 15, 2019. The Company adopted ASU 2016-01 on January 1, 2019 for annual periods and on January 1, 2020 for interim periods within annual periods. The adoption of ASU 2016-01 did not have a material impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements. In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842). The standard will affect all entities that lease assets and will require lessees to recognize a lease liability and a right-of-use asset for all leases (except for short-term leases that have a duration of less than one year) as of the date on which the lessor makes the underlying asset available to the lessee. For lessors, accounting for leases is substantially the same as in prior periods. In July 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-10, Codification Improvements to Topic 842, Leases, to clarify how to apply certain aspects of the new leases standard. ASU 2016-02, as subsequently amended for various technical issues, is effective for emerging growth companies following private company adoption dates in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021, and interim periods within annual periods beginning after December 15, 2022, and early adoption is permitted. For leases existing at, or entered into after, the beginning of the earliest comparative period presented in the financial statements, lessees and lessors must apply a modified retrospective transition approach. While the Company expects the adoption of this standard to result in an increase to the reported assets and liabilities, it has not yet determined the full impact the adoption of this standard will have on its financial statements and related disclosures. In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments — Credit Losses: Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments , which changes the impairment model for most financial assets. The new model uses a forward-looking expected loss method, which will generally result in earlier recognition of allowances for losses. ASU 2016-13, as subsequently amended for various technical issues, is effective for emerging growth companies following private company adoption dates for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022 and for interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this standard to its financial statements. In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-13, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Disclosure Framework — Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement, which eliminates certain disclosure requirements for fair value measurements for all entities, requires public entities to disclose certain new information and modifies some disclosure requirements. ASU 2018-13 is effective for all entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019 and for interim periods within those fiscal years, and early adoption is permitted. An entity is permitted to early adopt either the entire standard or only the provisions that eliminate or modify requirements. The Company adopted ASU 2018-13 on January 1, 2020, and the adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on the condensed consolidated financial statements or related disclosures. In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-15, Intangibles-Goodwill and Other- Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40): Customer’s Accounting for Implementation Costs Incurred in a Cloud Computing Arrangement that is a Service Contract. This standard aligns the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred in a hosting arrangement that is a service contract with the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred to develop or obtain internal-use software. The Company adopted ASU 2018-15 on January 1, 2020 for annual periods, and the adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on the condensed consolidated financial statements or related disclosures. In October 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-17, Consolidation (Topic 810), Targeted Improvements to Related Party Guidance for Variable Interest Entities , which addresses the cost and complexity of financial reporting associated with consolidation of variable interest entities (“VIE”). The new guidance must be applied on a retrospective basis as a cumulative-effect adjustment as of the date of adoption. The Company adopted ASU 2018-17 on January 1, 2020, and the adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements or related disclosures because the Company does not currently have any indirect interests through related parties under common control for which it receives decision making fees. In December 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2019-12, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes , which is intended to simplify various aspects related to accounting for income taxes. ASU 2019-12 removes certain exceptions to the general principles in Topic 740 and also clarifies and amends existing guidance to improve consistent application. ASU 2019-12 is effective for emerging growth companies following private company adoption dates in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021, and interim periods within annual periods beginning after December 15, 2022, with early adoption permitted, including adoption in an interim period. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this standard on its financial statements.

Reverse Recapitalization [Abstract]
Merger	Merger On the Closing Date, the Company consummated the previously announced merger pursuant to that certain Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of October 21, 2020, by and among the Company, Merger Sub and Former CarLotz, as amended by Amendment No. 1, dated December 16, 2020, by and among the Company, Merger Sub and Former CarLotz. Pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, a business combination between the Company and Former CarLotz was effected through the merger of Merger Sub with and into Former CarLotz with Former CarLotz surviving as the surviving company. The Merger is accounted for as a reverse recapitalization in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Under this method of accounting, Acamar Partners was treated as the “acquired” company for financial reporting purposes (See Note 1 - Description of the Business). Accordingly, for accounting purposes, the Merger was treated as the equivalent of Former CarLotz issuing stock for the net assets of Acamar Partners, accompanied by a recapitalization. Prior to the Merger, Former CarLotz and Acamar Partners filed separate standalone federal, state and local income tax returns. As a result of the Merger, structured as a reverse acquisition for tax purposes, Acamar Partners was renamed CarLotz, Inc. and became the parent of the consolidated filing group, with Former CarLotz as a subsidiary. Recapitalization Cash - Acamar Partners’ trust and cash $ 309,999 Cash - PIPE 125,000 Less: consideration delivered to existing shareholders of Former CarLotz (62,693) Less: consideration to pay accrued dividends (4,853) Less: transaction costs and advisory fees paid (47,579) Less: payments on cash considerations associated with stock options (2,465) Net contributions from Merger and PIPE financing 317,409 Liabilities relieved: preferred stock obligation 2,832 Liabilities relieved: KAR/AFC note payable 3,625 Liabilities relieved: historic warrant liability 144 Less: earnout shares liability (74,285) Less: Merger warrants liability (39,024) Merger warrants The following is an analysis of the warrants to purchase shares of the Company’s stock deemed acquired as part of the Merger and outstanding during the nine months ended September 30, 2021: September 30, 2021 Stock warrants outstanding - Public 10,185,774 Stock warrants outstanding - Private 6,074,310 Stock warrants cancelled — Stock warrants exercised — Stock warrants outstanding 16,260,084 Earnout Shares Former CarLotz equity holders at the closing of the Merger are entitled to receive up to an additional 6,945,732 earnout shares. The earnout shares will be issued to the beneficiaries if certain targets are met in the post-acquisition period. The earnouts for the earnout shares are subject to an earnout period, which is defined as the date 60 months following the consummation of the Merger. The Merger closed on January 21, 2021, and the earnout period expires January 21, 2026. The earnout shares will be issued if any of the following conditions are achieved following January 21, 2021: i. If at any time during the 60 months following the Closing Date (the first business day following the end of such period, the “Forfeiture Date”), the closing trading price of the common stock is greater than $12.50 over any 20 trading days within any 30 trading day period (the “First Threshold”), the Company will issue 50% of the earnout shares. ii. If at any time prior to the Forfeiture Date, the closing trading price of the common stock is greater than $15.00 over any 20 trading days within any 30 trading day period (the “Second Threshold”), the Company will issue 50% of the earnout shares. iii. If either the First Threshold or the Second Threshold is not met on or before the Forfeiture Date, any unissued earnout shares are forfeited. All unissued earnout shares will be issued if there is a change of control of the Company that will result in the holders of the common stock receiving a per share price equal to or in excess of $10.00 (as equitably adjusted for stock splits, stock dividends, special cash dividends, reorganizations, combinations, recapitalizations and similar transactions affecting the common stock) prior to the Forfeiture Date. Before the contingency is met, the earnout shares will be classified as a liability under the FASB’s Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 815, so changes in the fair value of the earnout shares in future periods will be recognized in the statement of operations. The estimated fair value of the liability is determined by using a Monte-Carlo simulation model.

In the following tables, revenue is disaggregated by major lines of goods and services and timing of transfer of goods and services. The Company has determined that these categories depict how the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of its revenue and cash flows are affected by economic factors. The tables below include disaggregated revenue under ASC 606 ( Revenue from Contracts with Customers ): Three Months Ended September 30, 2021 Nine Months Ended September 30, 2021 Vehicle Sales Fleet Management Total Vehicle Sales Fleet Management Total Retail vehicle sales $ 56,284 $ — $ 56,284 $ 150,897 $ — $ 150,897 Wholesale vehicle sales 8,989 — 8,989 18,217 — 18,217 Finance and insurance, net $ 2,639 $ — $ 2,639 5,973 — 5,973 Lease income, net — 129 129 — 334 334 Total Revenues $ 67,912 $ 129 $ 68,041 $ 175,087 $ 334 $ 175,421 Three Months Ended September 30, 2020 Nine Months Ended September 30, 2020 Vehicle Sales Fleet Management Total Vehicle Sales Fleet Management Total Retail vehicle sales $ 26,694 $ — $ 26,694 $ 71,388 $ — $ 71,388 Wholesale vehicle sales 2,088 — 2,088 7,124 — 7,124 Finance and insurance, net $ 910 $ — $ 910 2,697 — 2,697 Lease income, net — 101 101 — 373 373 Total Revenues $ 29,692 $ 101 $ 29,793 $ 81,209 $ 373 $ 81,582 The following table summarizes revenues and cost of sales for retail and wholesale vehicle sales for the periods ended: Three Months Ended September 30, Nine Months Ended September 30, 2021 2020 2021 2020 Retail vehicles: Retail vehicle sales $ 56,284 $ 26,694 $ 150,897 $ 71,388 Retail vehicle cost of sales 56,584 24,177 147,142 65,723 Gross Profit – Retail Vehicles $ (300) $ 2,517 $ 3,755 $ 5,665 Wholesale vehicles: Wholesale vehicle sales $ 8,989 $ 2,088 $ 18,217 $ 7,124 Wholesale vehicle cost of sales 9,433 2,040 20,065 7,082 Gross Profit – Wholesale Vehicles $ (444) $ 48 $ (1,848) $ 42 Retail Vehicle Sales The Company sells used vehicles to retail customers through its 18 retail hub locations. The transaction price for used vehicles is a fixed amount as set forth in the customer contract, and the revenue recognized by the Company is inclusive of the agreed upon transaction price and any service fees. Customers frequently trade-in their existing vehicle to apply toward the transaction price of a used vehicle. Trade-in vehicles represent noncash consideration, which the Company measures at estimated fair value of the vehicle received on the trade. The Company satisfies its performance obligation and recognizes revenue for used vehicle sales at a point in time when the title to the vehicle passes to the customer, at which point the customer controls the vehicle. The Company receives payment for used vehicle sales directly from the customer at the time of sale or from third-party financial institutions within a short period of time following the sale if the customer obtains financing. The Company’s exchange policy allows customers to initiate an exchange of a vehicle during the first three days or 500 miles after delivery, whichever comes first. An exchange reserve is immaterial based on the Company’s historical activity. Wholesale Vehicle Sales Vehicles that do not meet the Company’s standards for retail vehicle sales, vehicles that did not sell through the retail channel within a reasonable period of time and vehicles that the Company determines offer greater financial benefit through the wholesale channel are sold through various wholesale methods. The Company satisfies its performance obligation and recognizes revenue for wholesale vehicle sales when the vehicle is sold at auction or directly to a wholesaler and title to the vehicle passes to the next owner. Finance and Insurance, net The Company provides customers with options for financing, insurance and extended warranties. Certain warranties are serviced by a company owned by a major stockholder. All other services are provided by third-party vendors, and the Company has agreements with each of these vendors giving the Company the right to offer such services. When a customer selects a service from these third-party vendors, the Company earns a commission based on the actual price paid or financed. The Company concluded that it is an agent for these transactions because it does not control the products before they are transferred to the customer. Accordingly, the Company recognizes finance and insurance revenue at the point in time when the customer enters into the contract.

Share-based Payment Arrangement [Abstract]
Stock-Based Compensation Plan	Stock-Based Compensation Plan Stock Option Plans The Company has three stock incentive plans, the “2011 Stock Option Plan,” the “2017 Stock Option Plan” and the “2020 Incentive Award Plan,” to promote the long-term growth and profitability of the Company. The plans do this by providing senior management and other employees with incentive to improve shareholder value and contribute to the growth and financial success of the Company by granting equity instruments to these stakeholders. Share-based compensation expense was recorded for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020 of approximately $49,114 and $37, respectively. The Company estimates the fair value of stock options using the Black-Scholes pricing model. The Black-Scholes pricing model requires the use of subjective inputs such as stock price volatility. Changes in the inputs can materially affect the fair value estimates and ultimately the amount of stock-based compensation expense that is recognized. During the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, there were no grants related to the 2011 Stock Option Plan. A summary of activity for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020 for the 2011 Stock Option Plan is as follows: Number of Weighted Average Exercise Price Balance (December 31, 2020) 1,571,205 $0.59 Granted — — Exercised (56,059) 0.24 Forfeited — — Balance (September 30, 2021) 1,515,146 0.58 Vested (as of September 30, 2021) 1,515,146 $0.58 Number of Weighted Average Exercise Price Balance (December 31, 2019) 1,571,205 $0.59 Granted — — Forfeited — — Balance (September 30, 2020) 1,571,205 0.59 Vested (as of September 30, 2020) 1,482,528 $0.59 The following summarizes certain information about stock options vested and expected to vest as of September 30, 2021 related to the 2011 Stock Option Plan: Number of Stock Options Weighted Average Remaining Contractual Life Weighted Average Exercise Price Outstanding 1,515,146 0.92 years $0.58 Exercisable 1,515,146 0.92 years $0.58 Aggregate intrinsic value represents the total pre-tax intrinsic value, which is computed based on the difference between the option exercise price and the estimated fair value of the Company’s common stock at the time such option exercises. This intrinsic value changes based on changes in the fair value of the Company’s underlying common stock. The aggregate intrinsic value for options outstanding and options exercisable as of September 30, 2021 was $3.23. The terms of the 2017 Stock Option Plan provide for vesting upon certain market and performance conditions, including achieving certain triggering events, including specified levels of return on investment upon a sale of the Company. Because the 2017 Stock Option Plan has a market-based vesting condition, an open-form valuation model was used to value the options. All stock options related to the 2017 Stock Option Plan have an exercise price of $0.92 per share. All stock options related to the 2017 Stock Option Plan expire 10 years after the grant date, which ranges from March 2028 to October 2029. A summary of activity for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020 for the 2017 Stock Option Plan is as follows: Number of Units Weighted Averaged Exercise Price Balance (December 31, 2020) 3,961,658 $ 0.92 Granted — — Forfeited — — Balance (September 30, 2021) 3,961,658 $ 0.92 Vested (as of September 30, 2021) 3,538,672 $ 0.92 Number of Units Weighted Averaged Exercise Price Balance (December 31, 2019) 2,845,557 $ 0.92 Granted 1,116,106 0.92 Forfeited — — Balance (September 30, 2020) 3,961,663 $ 0.92 The 2017 options vest upon a change of control. Although the Merger did not meet the definition of a change of control, the Company modified the awards in connection with the Merger such that all vesting conditions were waived for 3,538,672 of the options. This modification impacted 8 employees and resulted in $38,800 of share-based compensation on the modification date. The remaining options were also modified but will vest over a service period of four years and impacted 16 employees. These options resulted in $186 of cash consideration and $4,462 of share based compensation that will be recognized over the service period of four years. For the nine months ended September 30, 2021, $772 of share-based compensation was recognized.

As of September 30, 2021, there was approximately $2,146 of unrecognized compensation cost that vests over a service period of four years and $658 of unrecognized compensation cost that vests over a service period of one Earnout Restricted Stock Units Former CarLotz option holders as of the effective time of the Merger received 640,421 earnout restricted stock units (Earnout RSUs). The Earnout RSUs vest if certain targets are met in the post-Merger period. The earnouts for the Earnout RSUs are subject to an earnout period, which is defined as the date 60 months following the consummation of the Merger. The Merger closed on January 21, 2021, and the earnout period expires January 21, 2026. Earnout RSUs will vest if any of the following conditions are achieved following January 21, 2021: i. If at any time during the 60 months following the Closing Date (the first business day following the end of such period, the “Forfeiture Date”), the closing trading price of the common stock is greater than $12.50 over any 20 trading days within any 30 trading day period (the “First Threshold”), 50% of the Earnout RSUs will vest. ii. If at any time prior to the Forfeiture Date, the closing trading price of the common stock is greater than $15.00 over any 20 trading days within any 30 trading day period (the “Second Threshold”), 50% of the Earnout RSUs will vest. iii. If either the First Threshold or the Second Threshold is not met on or before the Forfeiture Date, any unvested Earnout RSUs are forfeited. All unvested Earnout RSUs will vest if there is a change of control of the Company that will result in the holders of the common stock receiving a per share price equal to or in excess of $10.00 (as equitably adjusted for stock splits, stock dividends, special cash dividends, reorganizations, combinations, recapitalizations and similar transactions affecting the common stock) prior to the Forfeiture Date. The estimated fair value of the liability is determined by using a Monte-Carlo simulation model, which incorporates various assumptions, including expected stock price volatility, contractual term, dividend yield and stock price at grant date. The Company estimates the volatility of common stock on the date of grant based on the weighted-average historical stock price volatility of comparable publicly-traded companies. A summary of activity for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 for the RSUs is as follows: Number of Units Weighted Average grant date fair value Balance (December 31, 2020) — $ — Granted 640,421 10.70 Forfeited — — Balance (September 30, 2021) 640,421 $ 10.70 During the nine months ended September 30, 2021, the Company recognized $6,007 of stock-based compensation cost. As of September 30, 2021, there was approximately $842 of total unrecognized compensation cost related to the RSUs that will be recognized during 2021. The inputs used to value the Earnout RSUs were as follows at January 21, 2021: Expected volatility 80.00 % Starting stock price $ 11.31 Expected term (in years) 5 years Risk-free interest rate 0.45 % Earnout hurdle $12.50-$15.00

Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract]
Income Taxes	Income Taxes During the nine months ended September 30, 2021, the Company recorded no income tax benefits for the net operating losses incurred in the period due to its uncertainty of realizing a benefit from those items. All of the Company’s operating losses since inception have been generated in the United States. The Company has evaluated the positive and negative evidence bearing upon its ability to realize the deferred tax assets. Management has considered the Company’s history of cumulative net losses incurred since inception through September 30, 2021 and has concluded that it is more likely than not that the Company will not realize the benefits of the deferred tax assets. Management reevaluates the positive and negative evidence at each reporting period. As of September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, no facts or circumstances arose that affected the Company’s determination as to the full valuation allowance established against the net deferred tax assets. Accordingly, a full valuation allowance has been established against the net deferred tax assets as of September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020.

Summary of Significant Accoun_2

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Policies)	9 Months Ended
	Sep. 30, 2021
Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Basis of Presentation	The unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the same basis as the audited consolidated financial statements and, in management’s opinion, include all adjustments, which consist of only normal recurring adjustments, necessary for the fair statement of the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 2021 and its results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020. The results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 are not necessarily indicative of the results expected for the current fiscal year or any other future periods.
Use of Estimates	Use of Estimates The preparation of condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities.
Restricted Cash	Restricted Cash As of September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, restricted cash included approximately $214 and $605, respectively. The restricted cash is legally and contractually restricted as collateral for a letter of credit issued on behalf of CarLotz Group, Inc. and for the payment of claims on the reinsurance companies.
Marketable Securities	Marketable Securities The Company and its reinsurance subsidiaries invest excess cash in marketable securities in the ordinary course of conducting their operations and maintain a portfolio of marketable securities primarily comprised of fixed income debt securities. The Company has investments in marketable securities that are classified as available-for-sale securities and are reported at fair value. Unrealized gains and losses related to changes in the fair value of equity securities are recognized in other income (expense) in the Company’s condensed consolidated statements of operations. Unrealized gains and losses related to changes in the fair value of debt securities are recognized in Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income in the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheets. Changes in the fair value of available-for-sale debt securities impact the Company’s net income only when such securities are sold or when other-than-temporary impairment is recognized. Realized gains and losses on the sale of securities are determined by specific identification of each security’s cost basis and are recognized on the trade date. Management determines the appropriate classification of its investments at the time of purchase and re-evaluates the designations at each balance sheet date. The Company may sell certain of the Company’s marketable securities prior to their stated maturities for strategic reasons, including, but not limited to, anticipation of credit deterioration and duration management. The Company reviews its debt securities on a regular basis to evaluate whether or not any security has experienced an other-than-temporary decline in fair value. The Company considers factors such as the length of time and extent to which the market value has been less than the cost, the financial condition and near-term prospects of the issuer and the Company’s intent to sell, or whether it is more likely than not the Company will be required to sell the investment before recovery of the investment’s amortized cost basis. If the Company believes that an other-than-temporary decline exists in one of these securities, the Company will write down these investments to fair value through earnings.
Capitalized Website and Internal Use Software Cost	Capitalized website and internal-use software costs The Company capitalizes costs associated with customized internal-use software systems that have reached the application development stage. Such capitalized costs include external direct costs utilized in developing or obtaining the applications and payroll and payroll-related expenses for employees who are directly associated with the applications. Capitalization of such costs begins when the preliminary project stage is complete and ceases at the point in which the project is substantially complete and ready for its intended purpose. Amortization is computed using the straight-line method over 3 years.
Advertising Cost	Advertising CostsThe Company expenses advertising costs as they are incurred. Advertising costs are included in selling, general and administrative expenses on the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations.
Concentration of Credit Risk	Concentration of Credit Risk Concentrations of credit risk with respect to accounts receivables are limited due to the large diversity and number of customers comprising the Company’s retail customer base.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements	Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements In January 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2016-01, Financial Instruments-Overall (Subtopic 825-10): Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities . Subsequently, the FASB issued ASU 2018-03, Technical Corrections and Improvements to Financial Instruments-Overall. ASU 2016-01 requires equity investments except those under the equity method of accounting to be measured at fair value with the changes in fair value recognized in net income. ASU 2016-01 is effective for emerging growth companies following private company adoption dates in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, and interim periods within annual periods beginning after December 15, 2019. The Company adopted ASU 2016-01 on January 1, 2019 for annual periods and on January 1, 2020 for interim periods within annual periods. The adoption of ASU 2016-01 did not have a material impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements. In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842). The standard will affect all entities that lease assets and will require lessees to recognize a lease liability and a right-of-use asset for all leases (except for short-term leases that have a duration of less than one year) as of the date on which the lessor makes the underlying asset available to the lessee. For lessors, accounting for leases is substantially the same as in prior periods. In July 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-10, Codification Improvements to Topic 842, Leases, to clarify how to apply certain aspects of the new leases standard. ASU 2016-02, as subsequently amended for various technical issues, is effective for emerging growth companies following private company adoption dates in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021, and interim periods within annual periods beginning after December 15, 2022, and early adoption is permitted. For leases existing at, or entered into after, the beginning of the earliest comparative period presented in the financial statements, lessees and lessors must apply a modified retrospective transition approach. While the Company expects the adoption of this standard to result in an increase to the reported assets and liabilities, it has not yet determined the full impact the adoption of this standard will have on its financial statements and related disclosures. In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments — Credit Losses: Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments , which changes the impairment model for most financial assets. The new model uses a forward-looking expected loss method, which will generally result in earlier recognition of allowances for losses. ASU 2016-13, as subsequently amended for various technical issues, is effective for emerging growth companies following private company adoption dates for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022 and for interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this standard to its financial statements. In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-13, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Disclosure Framework — Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement, which eliminates certain disclosure requirements for fair value measurements for all entities, requires public entities to disclose certain new information and modifies some disclosure requirements. ASU 2018-13 is effective for all entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019 and for interim periods within those fiscal years, and early adoption is permitted. An entity is permitted to early adopt either the entire standard or only the provisions that eliminate or modify requirements. The Company adopted ASU 2018-13 on January 1, 2020, and the adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on the condensed consolidated financial statements or related disclosures. In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-15, Intangibles-Goodwill and Other- Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40): Customer’s Accounting for Implementation Costs Incurred in a Cloud Computing Arrangement that is a Service Contract. This standard aligns the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred in a hosting arrangement that is a service contract with the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred to develop or obtain internal-use software. The Company adopted ASU 2018-15 on January 1, 2020 for annual periods, and the adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on the condensed consolidated financial statements or related disclosures. In October 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-17, Consolidation (Topic 810), Targeted Improvements to Related Party Guidance for Variable Interest Entities , which addresses the cost and complexity of financial reporting associated with consolidation of variable interest entities (“VIE”). The new guidance must be applied on a retrospective basis as a cumulative-effect adjustment as of the date of adoption. The Company adopted ASU 2018-17 on January 1, 2020, and the adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements or related disclosures because the Company does not currently have any indirect interests through related parties under common control for which it receives decision making fees. In December 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2019-12, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes , which is intended to simplify various aspects related to accounting for income taxes. ASU 2019-12 removes certain exceptions to the general principles in Topic 740 and also clarifies and amends existing guidance to improve consistent application. ASU 2019-12 is effective for emerging growth companies following private company adoption dates in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021, and interim periods within annual periods beginning after December 15, 2022, with early adoption permitted, including adoption in an interim period. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this standard on its financial statements.
Revenue	Retail Vehicle Sales The Company sells used vehicles to retail customers through its 18 retail hub locations. The transaction price for used vehicles is a fixed amount as set forth in the customer contract, and the revenue recognized by the Company is inclusive of the agreed upon transaction price and any service fees. Customers frequently trade-in their existing vehicle to apply toward the transaction price of a used vehicle. Trade-in vehicles represent noncash consideration, which the Company measures at estimated fair value of the vehicle received on the trade. The Company satisfies its performance obligation and recognizes revenue for used vehicle sales at a point in time when the title to the vehicle passes to the customer, at which point the customer controls the vehicle. The Company receives payment for used vehicle sales directly from the customer at the time of sale or from third-party financial institutions within a short period of time following the sale if the customer obtains financing. The Company’s exchange policy allows customers to initiate an exchange of a vehicle during the first three days or 500 miles after delivery, whichever comes first. An exchange reserve is immaterial based on the Company’s historical activity. Wholesale Vehicle Sales Vehicles that do not meet the Company’s standards for retail vehicle sales, vehicles that did not sell through the retail channel within a reasonable period of time and vehicles that the Company determines offer greater financial benefit through the wholesale channel are sold through various wholesale methods. The Company satisfies its performance obligation and recognizes revenue for wholesale vehicle sales when the vehicle is sold at auction or directly to a wholesaler and title to the vehicle passes to the next owner. Finance and Insurance, net The Company provides customers with options for financing, insurance and extended warranties. Certain warranties are serviced by a company owned by a major stockholder. All other services are provided by third-party vendors, and the Company has agreements with each of these vendors giving the Company the right to offer such services. When a customer selects a service from these third-party vendors, the Company earns a commission based on the actual price paid or financed. The Company concluded that it is an agent for these transactions because it does not control the products before they are transferred to the customer. Accordingly, the Company recognizes finance and insurance revenue at the point in time when the customer enters into the contract.
