    Just ordered. My S we took delivery in Orlando. Now the computer would only let me choose an Atlanta option. Do I need to be concerned about anything weird picking up a Tesla out of FL in GA tax wise?

    You will pay taxes for the location you register your vehicle. The obligation is on the seller (Tesla) to look up the zip code and State where you reside (aka register) and collect the taxes there.

    When it comes time to go and register, usually 30 day grace period, you'll go to your DMV and maybe get a VIN/vehicle inspection. Once there, any discrepancy is made up (aka, you pay more money) and if you've overpaid, expect a check back from the DMV.

    Register in NJ if you want to avoid sales tax, I would on a new vehicle. Other thread covers this including experience from FL residents doing just that.
