    MA Motor Vehicle Excise Tax - Model 3

    I did not. I am admittedly not very well-versed in the underlying laws/policies, though this has certainly been an educational experience in that regard. :) I spoke with someone today who received the same bill. The $45,900 works out to an MSRP of $51K, and she did indeed pay $6K for the AWD...

    MA Motor Vehicle Excise Tax - Model 3

    The RMV called me back this morning with an updated valuation and an explanation for how they arrived at the number. The rep that I spoke with (Stephanie) explained to me, going forward, that the methodology for calculating Model 3 valuations would work like this: Base price of the car ($35K)...

    MA Motor Vehicle Excise Tax - Model 3

    Quick update on my situation, which is still ongoing... RMV called back on November 20th, asking me to fax over the window sticker (again). I did, it went through, but they claimed they did not receive it because their fax machines were "being replaced" (???). I sent it again this afternoon...

    MA Motor Vehicle Excise Tax - Model 3

    Just got my tax bill from the City of Newton. Like PeterK, I have a non-performance AWD Model 3, and it was valued at 50,850, resulting in a tax of $529.69.

    State inspection in the Boston area

    I took my Model 3 to Dedham Gas & Service, which is the location where Tesla Dedham has been referring anyone who asks where to get an inspection. (You can tell they inspect several Model 3s per day because they'll ask you for "the card" instead of "the keys"!) No need to explain the car or how...

    Supercharger - Dedham, MA

    I can confirm that Dedham is using the on-site Superchargers to charge Model 3s prior to delivery. I took delivery a week ago at 4pm, and my car's supercharging history shows that it was supercharged that morning at 8:44am (to approximately 80% SOC). My Delivery Advisor remarked that they had...

    Deep Blue Metallic Waiting Room

    Nah, I was about ~120-150th in line at Natick, but everyone there knew about "that guy camping out in Dedham". :)

    Deep Blue Metallic Waiting Room

    Yup! You're going to get a call from your IDA within the next 2-3 business days. You'll receive your VIN in an email immediately after that call. Glad to see that Dedham Tent Guy's number has finally been called ! :)

    Deep Blue Metallic Waiting Room

    Yes, I entered my loan information as soon as the option became available on Sunday morning. My ISA called ("baked"? :) ) me on Wednesday night around 7pm.

    New England Model 3 Configuration Invites

    Same thing here -- got the VIN by email, but my account still shows the RN. The Javascript variable "Tesla.ProductF.Data.Vin" is also empty, and no VINs are selectable if I try to add a Wall Connector to my shopping cart.

    AWD delivery thread

    Yes, you're exactly where you need to be. My account page looked exactly the same until this past Sunday, when the gray dots by "Payment Details" became yellow, and the "Payment Details" section became a form asking me for details about my loan. In your case, this will become a credit...

    New England Model 3 Configuration Invites

    Happy to report that I am tentatively scheduled to join the Tesla family on August 31st when I take delivery of my AWD Model 3! On Sunday, my Edit Design link disappeared, and I was asked to confirm my loan and delivery details. Tonight I received a call from my ISA to schedule my delivery...

    AWD delivery thread

    Deep Blue Metallic Waiting Room

    Happy to report another impending blue delivery in Massachusetts! Received my ISA call, VIN (637xx), and delivery date (8/31) tonight. ISA said I could take delivery as early as August 28th, but I'll be out of town then, so I scheduled for August 31st instead. Delivery to Dedham, MA Deep Blue...
