Bonaire, I couldn't agree more. It's really sad especially when I live in a state that makes it illegal to buy a Tesla locally.

OK, I did a little tax law research on California as it relates to non-residents of California buying a car there and then driving it home. California puts the burden of collecting the sales tax on the business rather than on the purchaser. So when you buy something in California, even though...

Yes, Bighorn and a few others have clued me in that it is California that is the issue. I have purchased and picked up my last two vehicles in Wisconsin and Maine and did not have to pay the local tax. I paid Texas taxes when I got home and registered the vehicle. It seems that my plans to...

bollar... Thanks for the feedback. I hope you are right and that your comment wasn't intended to suggest that I wouldn't get my Model X until 2016. :-) My reservation number should put delivery well inside the first two months of production even with the Signature Performance series initial...

To my fellow service members, thanks for what you do. And for my fellow service members who own Teslas, thanks for doing it in such great style! :-) I am a geeky, nerdy, techvangelist Signal Officer in the Army. My Model X is a congrats to me gift for making it 30 years in the Army. I'll...

Thanks for the heads up Bighorn. Texas is one of the states in which it is currently ILLEGAL for Tesla to sell directly to consumers. Even though we have Tesla Galleries, they are prohibited by outdated protectionist law from discussing price, financing, or assisting with the sale, taxes and...

Bighorn, why do you say that? I spoke with the Tesla Gallery in Austin and they said I could pick it up there no problem. I didn't get into specifics with them since Lord knows when the Model X will actually arrive but the logic I applied to the conversation is that since Texas law requires...

Well, the intent is to complete the transaction remotely prior to pickup and then simply go there to get it. I already have my license plates, just need a vehicle to register them to and put them on. Hope to leave the factory with my Texas plates installed.

Good evening everyone... I currently hold Model X Reservation #2,813 and plan to pick up my vehicle at the Tesla factory in Freemont, CA and then drive it back to Texas. I live in Killeen and would like to come back on I-10 through El Paso. I took a look at the PlugShare app and saw that...
