This is another one of those threads that just wouldn't exist if customers had their cars already. Seriously? Oh no! I don't instantly know exactly how much I'll own on this car down to the penny! Come on guys...

In my opinion, the ideal way would be to show the following lines:
1. Base price, unaltered.
2. The various options.
3. Personal delivery.
4. Preparation.
5. Total
6. Federal tax credit
7. Net total after rebate.
8. Your local government may have additional incentives which you may qualify for.
With the exception of the "Net total after rebate" (I am capable of operating a calculator so Tesla didn't need to that for me :wink all you listed was on my Preliminary quote email (and my MVPA) back in early May! I'm not sure why there's advice to Tesla about something they're already doing.
This is for the Design Studio, not the MVPA, which appears to be fine.
Probably not. The original complaint (not actually from me) was that by including the Federal tax credit in the base price and not including the delivery charges, the sticker shock was big when you received your MVPA.You can find everything there, just maybe in a different layout. Quite honestly, I don't see anyone buying Model S as their first ever car.
The only issue I would take is between the $93,600 and $102,270. $102,270 - $7,500 = $94,770, not $93,600. The difference is the prep/delivery fees, which other car configurators do show, eventually (though usually only after you get to the very end of a multi-step process). I've never seen any other car company put estimates of taxes and fees on their configurators, so I don't have any problem with Tesla presenting information consistent with their competitors.
I don't understand why the $990 personal delivery fee is taxable.
Per California Sales and Use Tax online information: "Some labor service and associated costs are subject to sales tax if they are involved in the creation or manufacturing of new personal property."
And:
Q: When does labor get taxed?
A: There are three types of labor: fabrication, installation and repair. The creation or fabrication of new property is subject to tax. However, installation and repair labor are generally excluded from tax.
The Tesla service is a combination of delivery and installation, not creation or manufacturing. Shouldn't it be excluded from tax?

I am, technically -- I've been driving other people's cars all my life.
Yeah, it probably is rude, but whatever.It's probably rude to ask but I've been dying to ask how old are you?
From the tone of your posts I used to think you were an old opinionated dude but I've seen you post several things that make me think you're much younger than I initially thought.
