All Nevada requires
Vehicle must be registered within 30 days of the purchase.
The law has made the assumption that all private party sales are where a title already exists.
But, as there is no title and they will not give you the MSO Tesla has to go through some process to get a title issued by the state of Nevada. This is where it gets a bit kinky. Tesla Is supposed to send you documentation that you can take to DMV and get the car registered and receive the title. I guess this is the EDRS discussed above.
It is my understanding, from a DMV person, that once DMV has received the paperwork from Tesla and Nevada has created a title (not sure how you get that information) you can go to DMV with the bill of sale and a second VIN inspection and have DMV deal with it. DMV suggested going this route only after 3+ weeks if Tesla is not responsive. Haven't tried it so I don't know if it is true.
Tangent: MSO experience. Moving from Florida to California while in the USAF purchased a new car in transit in Colorado. (planned not emergency). The people at the Colorado dealership weren't sure what to do so they gave me the MSO. When I checked in at my new duty station the first thing out of the sergeant's mouth was "did you purchase a new car in Colorado while in transit? I said yes. He said they are getting phone calls from GM every few hours wanting to know if I had arrived and had been informed that GM demanded the MSO be immediately returned or they would take legal action. The sergeant at the desk said give it to him and he would see that it was taken care of.
