Is the FSD package taxed if added after delivery? (California)

[E90alex]

So, when I’m in sales tax free Oregon I’ll buy expensive electronics and haul it back to California. Wonder if you could do the same on FSD?

I mean if you move and have an address to register your car in Oregon and change your billing address, sure. But no it won’t be tax free just by physically being in Oregon temporarily.

I'm not aware of a $7,500 rebate from California. CA offers $2,000 but your combined gross income must be under $200k.

The California rebate program has a higher tier, up to $7,500, for lower income claimants (I believe it’s ~400% of the poverty line based on household size).

There’s a small income window where it’s possible to make enough to claim the entire $7500 fed credit and little enough to qualify for the $7500 from the state.

So, if you're living in poverty, own the IRS at least $7,500, and you buy a new Tesla you may qualify for $15K in tax credits and rebates. That must be a small group of people.

It’s a little larger than you think, and remember there are other EVs out there.

My brother just bought a Chevy Bolt. He makes ~$90k with a family of 3. He’s right in the sweet spot.

$28k car for ~$12k out the door after fed ($7.5k), state ($7.5k), and local ($3k) incentives.

New York Stater here. I bought it in Sept. 2019 - $6000 + 1,08625% tax. I also paid $3000 for Autopilot in March 2019 when I bought the car. 2 weeks later Elon says it's free so in actuality I paid 9k. Also the car had the Nvidia card and had to wait until Feb 2020 for Tesla card (just beat Covid lockdown)
