I'm considering a Model Y AWD in Seattle. Some questions for folks who've navigated taxes and incentives:
- Does the sales tax exemption apply at all to the Model Y? This looks like a straightforward no - I think the limit is $45K, and no current Y sells at or below that. Just checking.
- What does the annual fee (car tabs) come to on a base AWD Model Y ($53K) in Seattle? Looking here, I see $43.25 standard fee + $45 weight charge + $80 Seattle local fee + ~$583 RTA Tax (MSRP * 1.1%) + $150 EV + $75 Electrification fee for a total of ~$976.25 a year to start. Is that correct? Seems a bit high.
- Does "full self driving" count towards the MSRP for RTA tax purposes? Does purchasing immediately vs upgrading later affect the tax calculation?
