The last time I purchased a vehicle from out of state, I had to pay the tax at the DMV when I took it in to register it. It should be no different when ordering from Tesla, but since the ordering process is all online you might have to contact a showroom to get the specifics.
You mean you got the $250 order fee back? Are you sure? How? I have never heard of that.
There's other threads on it, apparently Tesla won't let you buy a car in a state if you aren't a resident. They will cancel the deal after you place the order when you upload ID. Other dealerships can sell to people in different states no problem. But since Tesla is an automaker that is selling direct to consumers without dealers they have a lot of legal restrictions they have to navigate around.
Thought I read in a thread here Tesla will not sell to nonresidents. Many years ago my Dad in Portland bought a car at a Vancouver Washington car dealership they do that all the time. But Tesla is not a licensed car dealer so they have more restrictions.
It's on the loan agreement, they added the $250 to the amount that I transferred, reducing the principal by $250.
Well I guess that's one way to look at it.
Another way is they charge MSRP plus 1395 delivery fee plus 250 nonrefundable order fee.
Well, that's not exactly "getting it back" if I understand you correctly. They just credited what you already paid (at the time of the oder).

Yeah. The order fee counts towards the purchase, if that's what you mean. But it has first been added to the purchase price. So it counts towards the vehicle price "plus" the order fee.
But hey, it's clear now what you meant. Thanks for clarifying!
I think we have to finish with disagreement here, the human way.Yeah. The order fee counts towards the purchase, if that's what you mean. But it has first been added to the purchase price. So it counts towards the vehicle price "plus" the order fee.

So then people can't buy a new Tesla if they live in a State that doesn't allow Tesla to have a showroom, to pick it up at?

How did you get the $250 back? Were you sent a check? $250 taken off the price of the Tesla?

Just looked at my Motor Vehicle Order Agreement.Man see the previous page for the bloody debate.
So your explanation was inaccurate and confusing.
The $250 order fee is tacked on to the price of the vehicle and NOT REFUNDED. See capitalized words for clarity.
Hopefully you are not a teacher.

I live in Connecticut, a state that does not allow Tesla to sell cars, so they sent me to NY state to pick up my car. The NY Tesla sales center processed the Connecticut registration and collected the Connecticut sales tax.
Good to know. I am assuming something similar when I pick a car in WA but have to come back and register the vehicle in OR (no sales tax)
I have read a few instances where Tesla can process the registration of non residents when they come pick up the car. I will have to call the showroom today. Thanks.
@raleigh 24++ hours of stability. $44320 for a black AWD, $46960 for an MSM LR, which is not bad.
I became obsessed with this when I saw a LR in Richmond for $44 something a few weeks ago, which lasted about an hour, and I could not buy because I was blocked for being just out of the region. I never saw that price again anywhere.

Yeah appears I grabbed the 45,440 MYLR in Austin at a perfect time just over a week ago, haven't seen one that low since. Although theres a couple at 46,xxx so not much higher.
With all the crazy price drops the last 10 months its kind of hard to know if a cheap price now will stay good in the weeks/months ahead. With interest rates probably rising even further and the m3 refresh coming followed by MY refresh maybe prices in a few months will drop much more. It appears tesla has the profit margins to go even lower and really crush the compentition.
On the flip side if we get a spike in oil prices at some point we might see some big price jumps as in 2021/2022.
