Oh no they are very complete. Lovely complete.
I am referencing added paint protection such as Xpel or other similar variants.
Can Non-California residents pick their car up in Fremont?

Yep exactly. So would you really want to drive it 1200 miles across the dust bowl before hand?
Hey are you wrapping with the same color or different? I've seen some amazing color wraps at SCs. Some of these guys claim to re wrap every year with a different color.
Yes. Same color. If I pick it up in Fremont....I'm getting it wrapped around Fremont. However it might be a non-issue because of the stupid California Taxes.

Ahhhh got it. You'll have plenty of excellent recommendations, if Sacramento cooperates.

Sorry, I should be more clear. That's our capital city and home of our State Assembly (legislative body). They squashed the effort and they'll need to resurrect it and vote on it. Those "stupid california taxes" come from their great ideas.

A'-Lo-HA ! y'all
We can't avoid paying the destination charge anyway. So why don't people that want to go to the West Coast to get their car and drive home, why not take delivery close to CA like AZ or NV or OR?
A friend of mine lives in Hawaii and wanted to drive across country, so he took delivery in Portland. He even drove back to So Cal to attend TMC Live (last year) right after getting his car.

While some of those palces would be cool, for me, half the fun of a factory pickup would be a factory tour and knowing you're getting car literally, right at the end of the assembly line. Going to another store to pick it up, while fun, would be pretty much the same as picking it up at my local store.

@Garlan, why not? Why would you think they would not. dsvick said he would like to take the tour. That's doable. Just pick it up in AZ or NV then drive back. Part of the thrill is the drive home from the West Coast. You can't stop CA from collecting the tax if you pick up there. If you are not a resident of CA, then take the steps to avoid the tax. Pick your car up outside CA. Don't let them spoil your fun. Side step them.
I really hope that option is available. I can't imagine that it wouldn't present a problem to Tesla. I'm certainly going to ask Tesla.

Worth asking Tesla. I thought someone posted here yesterday that they or their friend did just that. They picked up in AZ or NV and then drove home elsewhere, but I can't find it today. ???
I just called Tesla and they indicated that I can pick up ANY tesla at ANY Tesla delivery center ( which are basically their stores )..
He told me I could find those stores on the Tesla website by clicking Find Us on the right hand top of the web page. Looks like I might be going to Nevada to pick it up. I wonder what Nevada Tax Laws are like.
Anyone here from Nevada that could shed some light on the subject?

This is what I know so far about buying a car in Nevada.
Nevada collects a 8.1% state sales tax rate on the purchase of all vehicles. Some dealerships may also charge a 149 dollar documentary fee. The maximum tax that can be charged is 950 dollars..
$60K car = $4860.00
This is what I know so far about buying a car in Illinois
The rate is 6.25% of the purchase price or fair market value, whichever is greater. If you acquire the aircraft by purchase from a person or business that is not in the business of selling aircraft at retail, you must pay tax on the aircraft's purchase price.
$60K car = $3750.00
WOW a thousand dollars more!!!!!

So where would Tesla register the car in order to have temp tag at delivery - Nevada? Or Illinois?
$950 is a bargain, especially if full purchase.
Good question: Let me investigate.
Did you see that the total cost is a thousand dollars more picking it up in Nevada rather than Illinois?

That's says aircraft. Does Illinois lump Teslas and aircrafts together?
One of the first things I read from Nevada's Vehicles registration website is that ANY car purchased in Nevada must comply with Nevada's vehicle emissions standards. LOL
