1) If it allows people to pick up the car with a temp tag it'd still be significant.Agreed.
Southern NH here. When using the MA service center, the big issue is we cannot take new car delivery without paying MA sales tax. I had to use Paramus NJ. Tesla is s l o w l y building a Londonderry NH service site. Not a fan of the location. Had it been near Rt 95N, the $outhern Maine folks could have benefited as well.
In Maine you can't legally drive (except to an inspection station with a transit plate) until the vehicle has been registered and inspected.
You can't inspect until registered.
You can't register until you have your title application completed.
You can't apply for the title until you have the MCO.
Temp plates just make the whole process easier.
2) It's a bit closer.
3) It avoids driving to or around Greater Boston
4) It's 4 miles from a bus stop on a bus service from BOS so there are reasonable options to get there and back without a car if necessary.
Wouldn't be anywhere near as good as having a delivery and service center in (South) Portland, ME, of course, but it would definitely be better.
