This should do the trick if you want a timestamp:

Carbon::parse('2020-09-18T07:58:03-04:00')->timestamp;

But I don't think that you need a timestamp to store the date. Parsing should be enough.

$model->my_date_field = Carbon::parse('2020-09-18T07:58:03-04:00');
$model->save();

You can do

Carbon::parse('2020-09-18T07:58:03-04:00')->toDateTimeString();

// OR

Carbon::parse('2020-09-18T07:58:03-04:00')->format('Y-m-d H:i:s');

Result: 2020-09-18 07:58:03
