    For those of us in Washington State, you can double check the tax rate for where you live on this site, by the Dept of Revenue: https://webgis.dor.wa.gov/taxratelookup/SalesTax.aspx Or this PDF of dealer and leasing company local sales and use tax rates...

    AWD delivery thread

    I also live about 4 hours from the same delivery center in WA. Once my delivery is scheduled this is my biggest concern, mailing the trip cross state and it not being there/ready/damaged.

    300 spot welds removed from Model 3 design to meet production target

    Even if we knew for sure that they removed 300 spot welds from the building of the vehicle...there's nothing in the article that says when this happened. They talk around it to make the reader believe that it's happened in the past few weeks. For all we know they did all of that prior to the...

    Seattle area RTA registration tax

    Quick question, I've configured my AWD Model 3 but won't be taking delivery until later this year. I don't live in the Seattle area, I'm over on the East side of the state. Would I be correct in my belief that I shouldn't be charged the RTA tax since it's based on where the vehicle is...

    New June invites coming “in the next few days”

    I'm torn between potential home delivery or the 'delivery experience' at a sales location, because the nearest sales location/service center is ~ 3.5 hours drive across the state...and potentially over the mountain pass in the late fall early winter.

    New June invites coming “in the next few days”

    I had a similar screen for up here in Washington. I even tried changing my zip code to the same as the Seattle delivery and it still would only give me the option of delivery at home. I wonder if this is default for everyone and once our delivery date gets closer there will be more communication...

    Let's talk financing rates

    I've had this same thought and I've gone back and forth on it. For me, I'm thinking that since I should be in the next batch of orders, I may try and get my financing in place July 1 or so, and be ready to go when I'm able to configure.

    New June invites coming “in the next few days”

    To me the $100/yr for the internet isn't that big of a deal, it's like $8/month. For me, I don't understand how they can possibly stick to the May-July delivery window at this point if invites haven't gone out yet. I gotta think that July is practically booked for deliveries at this point.

    Who's tinted their windows?

    I have a question about tinting the back window...if the state law is 35% how does it work since the top of the rear window (which is essentially the back roof) would be much darker than 35% with the double tinting, wouldn't that make it an illegal tint on part of the rear glass? I hope my...

    I’ve done the same. Started out probably blue. Then went to for sure white and a stormtrooper look. Then definitely MSM. Then got to see one in real life and it was red and I loved that. Then back to MSM. And for now I’m saying silver. I saw an MSM model s on my street the other day and it...

    New June invites coming “in the next few days”

    My co-workers keep asking when I'm going to get my 3 and I keep having to push it off, saying I should get an invite anytime now. And I always get a quizzical look and the question "Invite?" and its almost embarrassing to explain. But after having gotten to drive one Sunday of last week...

    This Is The Model 3 Pre-Order Gift

    I haven't received anything yet myself and am not sure if I will. I also ordered the next morning on 4/1...felt like I should sleep on the decision, but that may come back to haunt me.

    What is your true Model 3 budget?

    Same here. My current car is paid off at the end of the year. So I plan on making that payment to my Model 3 account. That plus freelance checks, and selling my current ICE should help pay for many of the options I'd like to get.

    How would you prefer to pay for Supercharging?

    An all or none option when it comes to SC access will hurt main stream adoption. While in my daily use I won't have need of a SC as I can charge at home and have a pretty short commute, the handful or so times I travel cross state or to my alma mater for a football game means that I'd need...

    Safety of rear passengers

    yes true. I didn't mean they'd know for sure, but would have a better sense for it than having never been in it.

    Safety of rear passengers

    I agree with the sentiment that it'll be a hard car to roll. But I get what the OP is saying...I had a similar thought...if part of the reasoning behind having glass about the rear passengers' heads is so that they have head room, does that leave them possible vulnerable between the supports...

    Cockpit Design? Finally found concept I was thinking about.

    I don't see a black bar behind the display/steering wheel. That's a gap between the black dash and the white trim. I would bet that's the new air flow system we've heard about. You can see on the far right side a definite gap between the 2 pieces.

    Cockpit Design? Finally found concept I was thinking about.

    But they are putting them in their vehicles. Maybe not advertising them greatly but they are. My uncle got a brand new BMW 7 series last summer and the HUD, even as limited as it was, was pretty awesome, functional, and something I wish I had. Now the HUD on my parents GMC Acadia, not nearly as...

    Tips for new Tesla owners.

    So the modification to WA EV legislation hasn't been sent to the governor yet, but the Senate is proposing limiting the sales tax exemption to the first $40k, while the House wants to restrict it to only under $35. Hoping the Senate at least wins out.

    Why wouldn't it help S or X buyers? It wouldn't eliminate their sales tax, but would reduce it wouldn't it?

    Tips for new Tesla owners.

    Question...so we've put $1000 to reserve our spot for the 3. And then when it comes time to order we have to put another $2,500 to place the order, correct? So does that mean that when we go to lease or finance the car, that $3,500 we've already paid will be taken from the final price?

    Tips for new Tesla owners.

    Over here on the other side of the state, my rates are 'massively' cheaper than yours at $0.06/KWh ;) It is one of the advantages of our area. That and the lack of sales tax on EVs up to $35k

    Reservation tracker for Model 3

    Agreed. Even in the marketing work I do, we send out emails using a third party that sends out in bulk at various times. Also, credit card processing won't be accurate either as others have said their card was charged shortly after, mine like the email wasn't charged until late the next day. I...

    Reservation tracker for Model 3

    Just as a note. My confirmation email didn't come in until over 24 hours after I made my reservation. But the date Tesla has when I login to 'My Tesla' is the day I put my reservation in. So your initial questions might need some verbiage tweaking.

    Is HUD a bad idea?

    They've been in cars longer than that. Recently heard a podcast, and a guy mentioned his 2004 Pontiac Grand Prix (I think that was the model) had a HUD, granted it's basic. So the tech isn't new. It all depends how detailed the HUD could be.

    The way you read it and the way Electrek (More EVs will get a sales tax break of ~$3,000 in Washington state starting in July) is reading it is the same. Living in Washington, I'm stoked about this.

    Tax Credit Clarification

    Tesla had created this video talking about the tax credit and financing 3 years ago. It seems like they're trying to do something different than just a tax credit you'd claim when you filled out your taxes. Am I wrong or have things changed since then? Anyone with any insight on this?

    Poll: How do you feel about Grill-less front end styling?

    This is the most likely change to happen to the front end. With the X and now the X, Tesla is establishing their signature front end in the same way the BMW has their kidney grill. It's the new (and foreseeable) design language for their vehicles.

    Poll: How do you feel about Grill-less front end styling?

    If they bring the treatment they used on the X, that'd likely do what you're talking about.
