Does your state exempt used car - private sale sales tax? He buys, you pay him…. ???

I’m gonna check them on Monday then… any specific things to know? (Ask at a branch, do it online, mention it’s an RV, etc)
Was 72mo with a $10k downpayment. Standard Tesla promo at the time, everyone (with decent credit) got it. The prime rate wasn’t even as low as it is now, if I remember correctly (but I’m too lazy to look it up lol).

60 months. Did it right thru my BoA app. It’s a preferred rate for being Merrill Lynch customer. I think there were a couple of 0.25% reductions in there too. I don’t believe it’s a rate for general public. Good luck! It’s definitely worth exploring.

Update: Got up at 3:50am and started work on my ride. Currently 9am here in Seattle. So far, this morning I accomplished:
1) Interior detailed. Wood with Old English and everything else with good ‘ol Aerospace 303
2) Got the Porter cable out, and some Griots fine glass polish out and took to grinding all glass down. No more manufacturing or water marks, e.g., suction cup marks, etc.
3) Clay barred entire car, then washed and dried.
4) Took a d__p
5) Applied first of three cQuartz UK ceramic coating on everything, except windshield glass.
6) Now on my union negotiated work break.
Next is coat #2 of ceramic. Then, I will pull the wheels and attempt the flaps. After that, coat three of ceramic will go on. Next, pictures for the forum. People have been asking for specific things like a side shot with the car lowered, pictures of the rims, etc.
Then shower and dinner time. Tomorrow I’ll spray it with Beadmaker.
Back to work now.

Can you share where you sourced your clay bar from? (and brand, type, etc.)

Awesome. What was the down payment? Nvm I saw you just mentioned 60k.
@omarsultan, thank you. Perfect info. Winter weather in Texas ranges from 55 degrees, much like Cali, to Snowpocalypse conditions (e.g. Feb 14-20, 2021). Plugging into a 110 outlet while the car sits wouldn't be doable, as it's a public garage and it would almost assuredly get stolen if I could park near one! lol. I will def turn off Summons and Cabin Overheat because I don't need the one and the garage is covered so albeit really hot in Texas, overheat shouldn't be an issue, I hope. Lastly, when you say "take it easy on speed" that's a little incongruous with Texas speed limits!! lol. Most interstates are 75mph, some as high as 85mph, and 5mph over is allowable by the Troopers, so Cruise Control on 80mph is usually my go-to, but getting home without depleting my battery weekly will take priority. If I ever get the car, I'm sure there will be a learning curve and I'm taking/keeping all the notes I get from all the OGs on here!! Thanks again sir.
Strange question: is there a way to visually tell a plaid from a LR absent the spoiler and badging (and SW)? For example, is there anyway to observe the presence of the third motor (under the car, from the trunk)?

There is only one more way to tell a Plaid from a LR, and that is the seat bolsters if you can see inside. The seat bolsters on the Plaid are perforated, while on the LR, it's just the smooth leatherette. Or obviously, if it has CF.
Not sure if you can do USAA, but I'm looking at a 1.89% at up-to 63 months on the term.

Tesla has traditionally not allowed anyone but the person that ordered to take delivery.
it would be cheaper to pay the FL sales tax and then buy it from your friend. You will be doing your own title work so you can fenagle the sales tax credit for your trade if you have one.
6% on a pre-increase $80k is better than $10k.
PM on the trade thing if you want to discuss.

Specifically my state - Texas - I do not think so. The original quoted post and their situation - no clue.
