My thoughts are that any taxes the state implements should be proportional, but still less than state ICE taxes (to encourage EV adoption). The federal government will eventually come for their share and they will not discriminate based on individual states that choose to heavily tax EVs based...

Legislation - New Mexico Legislature SB - 181 proposes to tax EV owners a flat $100 per year. This is disproportionate compared to the $0.17 tax charged per gallon of gasoline. For instance an ICE vehicle driving 12,000 miles per year with an average mpg of 25 would only pay $81 in taxes...

For all the people asking about Sirius/XM have you tried Spotify? I had Sirius/XM and found the sound quality to be poor and the commercials annoying (it’s a paid service after all). Plus when you go to cancel they give you so much grief. Spotify sound quality is much better imo and their...

No, I don’t think that I would. A lot of Model 3 buyers were not previously spending 40-55k on a vehicle, and I think they would either choose not to purchase a more expensive option or simply be priced out of a Model 3 altogether (assuming the base price increased). I spent 14k more than my...

Well, the passenger side front wheel had curb rash and there was a scrape on the underside of the bumper. Pictures look worse than in real life as they are close ups. The delivery driver documented the issues and we signed his document. After all, I had already purchased the car, what was I...

It’s got the weird split floor mat covering it. Didn’t realize they were being inconsistent with the dead pedal as well...

I ordered on 10/3.

Build date is 10/19. It seems when a customer has a question like “Where are the bag hooks?” the default answer for Tesla employees is, “Yeah it’s supposed to be like that. ” regardless of the question. Then it just sends us all into a downward spiral! When really the guy covering for lunch...

Soooo... my 2020 VIN Model 3 LR AWD was delivered today. It has the grocery bag hooks. Also has the door pocket lights. No frunk mat though.

Yes, CA taxes! I was originally looking at going out to CA in September as there was a lot of inventory out there and I had family I could stay with, but it wasn’t worth it. Hopefully you can take delivery in Denver and then just pay NM sales tax when you register.

My Manage page basically never updated until yesterday. Prior to that, I received the VIN and MVPA documentation via email only. Now I show a vin and a delivery appointment for today at 10:30am!

I am taking delivery today via carrier direct in a state Tesla cannot sell cars in. They would not actually schedule my delivery until they had received a wire transfer. I am not sure if you can, in practice, pay on the day of the delivery.

How does that work out for you regarding taxes? For the carrier direct, my bank just wired them the amount of the car and destination fee (no taxes), and then I am subject to local taxes when I register the vehicle. I briefly looked into picking up a Tesla in a nearby state, but we have really...
