Sales Tax - Up front or wrapped in finance?

[GSBJackson]

The Tesla website calculator and payment estimator requires state sales tax to be paid upfront in addition to the down payment for Tesla’s loan option. Other manufacturers typically finance the sales tax. Is this normal for Tesla to not finance the sales tax? Is that not an option when purchasing and delivering in the same state?

Tesla finances sales tax. Just did it on mine. They just don’t want to make the calculator on the website include it because they don’t want it to look more expensive

Can also confirm Tesla finances sales tax, it's an option for you if you want to.

Depends on where you are. They will not do this in TX.

You can adjust the amount financed. I'm able to put down $30,000 When I inputted finance data, I deducted $30K from the sales price, to finance the rest, and it told me that I needed to pay $34K. So I added $4,000 to the amount financed, and it then said I needed to pay $30K.

Is this on the Tesla website? The amount financed is greyed out for me.

I had to pay it out of pocket in Texas. I probably could have rolled it in if I wasn't already rolling in neg equity though.

Yes, on the Tesla web site, but because I've applied for the financing already, the options to change anything about financing are no longer there.

Where do you see the option to include sales tax as part of the loan?

I haven't placed my order yet, but I am wondering if this is something the sales advisor will ask?

I ordered my car at a Tesla location, so my sales advisor went through the options with me for financing, and financing sales tax was an option when I was ordering my car.

I am in Texas and have to pay out of pocket. I am going through the process of paying it now but my local county tax office is asking for proof that it has been inspected, which was not in the packet when I purchased. Do I have to go get my car inspected or will Tesla be able to prove it has been inspected?
