But you got the additional $2500 CA tax rebate from buying an EV.... right? Most states don’t have that.
Nope it's income based, so my $2500 per year to register two cars is picking up the rebate tab for someone else.

I just received my renewal notice from the DMV for my 2016 Model S that I bought from Tesla at the end of 2016. The "registration fee" portion of the bill went from $80 to $258!
I knew it would be increasing, but, from the latest DMV info on their site, the maximum for a vehicle worth over $60K is $175.
Note: This is in addition to a still substantial "license fee" and some smaller county/district fees
Has anyone else seen this kind of fee and understand what's going on?
P.S. When I saw the envelop from the DMV, I was hoping that it was the so-called "pre-filled application" for a red carpool decal. Excitement suddenly aborted when I looked inside.
Same situation as you - 12/16 purchase, $80-->$258 on the registration fee portion. Of course the License Fee is another $430 and my total is $695.
My S90D with similar factory options came to $818 total.
When you upgraded to a 75D, it's unlikely that the DMV adjusted your license fee portion up to reflect its increased market value. If you'd like, I can let them know and have them fix it.
In MA and CT, owning a Tesla would easily cost you 1K-3K a year. CA's fee is nothing compare to them
Yes but the total tax burden is rough in CA (as I know it used to be in MA and CT when I lived there). 13.3% marginal income tax at the top, 8+% sales tax, etc. so it all adds up through death via 1000x cuts.
You poor babies.
Car tabs for my P85D were $1,300 in each of the past two years.

It's income based now, but it wasn't always and not when I got mine
10.25% in my city!, not sure if there is a higher rate in any city in the country?8+% sales tax, etc. so it all adds up through death via 1000x cuts.
We do but there are Eligibility guidelines and and income limits (Income Eligibility). I never was eligible on my 1st leased Leaf. I knew that going into it as I was getting a 24 month lease. At the time, you had to lease for at least 36 months or buy and keep for at least 36 months. When I was in the market, a 36 month lease minus $2500 was more expensive per month for over the life of the lease than a 24 w/o $2500 rebate.But you got the additional $2500 CA tax rebate from buying an EV.... right?

My cult leader Elon Musk supports carbon tax because polluters need to pay more. Prop 6 goes against that goal.
As a cult follower, I will vote NO on Prop 6.
Demand a $5 per gallon tax on diesel sold at truck stops, phased in over five years, not applied to diesel at gas stations designed for passenger-sized vehicles, so that the people who do the most road damage pay something approaching their fair share.
