Playing with Canadian configuration for MS, it seems like white interior will push delivery to March versus December for black or beige. Not only it’s a $2500 option it will likely lead to luxury tax in 2021 costing close to $10,000
 
Someone posted that here several pages back. Others claim the tax has yet to be passed into law, could still change, for example, might exempt EVs, who knows? 🤷‍♂️

It should exempt EVs. Let’s be honest, the Model S is a very nice car, but is roughly on par “luxury wise” to an 80-90K BMW or Mercedes. It only goes above 100K because it’s an EV. We are paying more just because it is an environmentally friendly car, then to pay more taxes on top of that is the exact opposite of how it should be.

That being said, EV incentives and luxury taxes are all done for political reasons, not for their stated reasons. I wouldn’t be surprised to see this tax get doubled down on when the election gets called on Sunday. Or maybe it will disappear too, once parliament dissolves if the tax hasn’t passed into law yet, it could go away, at least for another year…
