(Note: I couldn't find an appropriate forum for this, so I chose the Tesla Inc forum as the best I could come up with.)
When you see a car in Tesla inventory in another state, it invariably says "This car can only be registered in <a list of nearby states>". Why is that? Is this a restriction imposed by the state(s), or by Tesla? I haven't found any other state where the list of permitted states includes California, so only cars already in California inventory can be registered in California? Worse yet, I haven't found cars in inventory where the list includes Maine, and I don't think there's any inventory in Maine itself, so people in Maine can't ever buy from inventory?
(We live half time in California and half time in Maine--would be happy buy and register in either state, but prefer Maine due to timing and taxes.)
Thanks,
Dan
