On delivery in Raleigh NC read ALL the forms closely ... cost me $1,100 not to.

Yes, this is right but stops a little short. By next September, when I would have had to finally list the Tesla for tax purposes if I had been able to transfer the plate, the car would then be used. And the taxes would drop, I suspect a fair amount, just because the valuations are aimed low to avoid people constantly coming in to protest valuation. My bill on a used 2019 right now would be I think just $400 or so...

Hate to be the bearer of bad news but my tax bill on my year-old 2018 Model 3 was about double what you're estimating there

Thanks for the information. She will be there with my luckily

Just an update for anyone interested or in a similar situation. I was unable to transfer the tags, I was forced to get new ones. I was told even with my wife there they could not be transferred since she would not be on the loan and/or the title

I received a call today for my delivery tomorrow and asked about this. They also told me they are not allowed to transfer tags and will be getting mine in the mail. I’m in Georgia btw.
