I'll add a couple other societal benefits from your purchase:
- Your Tesla purchase is keeping money in the US. I have read that a newly printed dollar goes through 9 iterations of sales tax on average during its lifetime.
- Your Tesla purchase is keeping manufacturing in the US. Ask CA and NV if they appreciate the Fremont and Giga factories.
- You are purchasing electricity (in one form or another) that is mostly or entirely a domestic product, which is a triple benefit: money stays in the US; money does not flow to OPEC; and downward pressure on OPEC prices.
This is far from a complete list, the unrealized (uncounted) benefits from pollution avoidance and reduced pressures to embark on military misadventures is considerable. Take the money with a clean conscience.
Oh, and one other point: this entire notion of paying taxes is part of being a good citizen is not quite as clear cut as we often think. I increasingly view taxation as a redistribution of wealth mechanism with a lot of corruption, inefficiency, and friction built-in. Personally, I'm fine with redistribution, but not so much with the other baggage that government carries.
I think a better question than 'do you pay taxes' is 'what do you do with your money?'
