So if you go over there an pick it up, you don't have to pay the delivery nor the destination charge?Thursday, I put a deposit on the following:
Model S 90D Demo with 23 miles on the odometerMSRP $110,250
Deep Blue Metallic ($1,000)
Glass Roof ($1,500)
Tan Leather interior w/ White headliner ($3,300)
Carbon Fiber Decor ($250)
Enhanced Autopilot ($5,000)
Premium Upgrades Package ($3,500)
Smart Air Suspension ($2,500)
Ultra High Fidelity Sound ($2,500)
Showroom Discount: $20,082
Referral $1,000
$89,168 before tax credit
The car is located in Phoenix, and I don't wan to pay Tesla's $2,000 delivery fee on top of the $1,125 destination charge. So it'll be a 1,750 mile road trip to bring her home.
I started a thread asking for thoughts on Leasing Vs Buying here: Urgent, made down payment. Now need to decide Buy or Lease.
As people have mentioned, the Money Factor is huge 5% APR, while the loan rate is 0.99% (yay free money!) for 72months
36/10K Lease:
$67,036 residual
$793/mnth
36/12K Lease:
$65,933 residual
$822/mnth
36/15K Lease
$64,830 residual
$850/mnth
lease out of pocket: $5K + $1,090 fees + ~$2,450 TTL
Leasing will result in $37,743 being paid out after 36 months.
Loan will result in $44,079 being paid out at 36 months.
a difference of $6,336 in favor of leasing
However, the principal balance on the loan will be $45,875 after 36months
which means, I would need to sell it for $52,211 to break even. anything over that, the Loan route comes out ahead.
I'm leaning towards buying it, and need to make a decision very soon.
I feel that the 90D would be worth at least $52K after 3yrs. And owning would give me more flexibility regarding, miles drive, when I'd like to sell/trade in etc. Unfortunately I can't take full advantage of the lease business tax write off, so that does not apply
Thoughts? Opinions?

Everyone pays the $1200 delivery fee, even if you pick up in Fremont. But if you pick up you can avoid the $2,000 transportation fee. That fee isn't always applied - only if they have to transfer your car from another zone (for examples, I do not believe there is any fee in CA for a new inventory car moving anywhere else in CA). I didn't pay a fee to move my new inventory car from NY to PA.
Only problem with picking up outside your state is dealing with state taxes. For example, in NJ there is no sales tax for an EV but if you pick up in CA to avoid the $2,000 transportation fee you have to pay CA tax which is many multiples of the $2,000 transportation fee. So there you are much better off paying the fee.
Ah, interesting. I wasn't thinking about someone voluntarily picking up in CaliforniaYes, you definitely pay sales tax in the state where you register the car. My understanding if you are looking to pick up the car in Fremont - and I'd be happy to be corrected- is that CA charges you sales tax at purchase and then you get a credit against the sales tax in your own state when you later register the car. If your own state has a higher or similar sales tax, no problem. But if your state has a lower (or no) sales tax, you are out of luck.

also, i'd check with Tesla because TD Auto Finance requires 20% down in order to qualify for the .99%. They jack the rate up 2% for 100% financing. They will never finance sales tax and any other fees though, so if you opt for 100%, expect to pay about $4-6k down still to cover taxes and fees.
Yes, you definitely pay sales tax in the state where you register the car.

Tesla will not collect CA sales tax if you pick up your car in Fremont and live in another state. They go by where it's registered.
We bought a tesla last year in another state and in order to qualify for the special promo, we ended up flying to another state to sign our docs and take delivery of the car there. We did not pay that states sales tax. We ended up owing the sales tax in CA where it was registered.
I filled out the finance credit app.. It went through Chase. They're requiring that I put 10% down, and cover TTL

Feel free to PM me if you are looking for something or need a referral. These are the lowest priced 90D S so I suspect they will not last long.
Can you write off any portion of the vehicle payment? If so, maybe consider leasing it. Less money out of pocket, and lower car payment.
There's quite a few with higher discounts that are not listed on the public site. Make sure to call your OA's and have them run searches.
Incorrect.Yes there are higher discounts $20k plus but these are the lowest priced 90D S. These were from the internal site.
And yes these are the lowest priced cars but their leases aren't that great. We looked at the one in Fremont yesterday and it was pretty high compared to higher discounted cars.Yes there are higher discounts $20k plus but these are the lowest priced 90D S. These were from the internal site.
