Just a quick thought, does anyone know if you pay sales tax on the vehicle purchase price plus the options or just the vehicle's price?
If so, based on the configurator screen shots it looks like Tesla wont charge you a premium if you activate auto pilot after your car is shipped. That would bring the total cost of the car down when purchasing. Then you pay tax on that amount and upgrade to AP later. Right?
So essentially you'd save 7.5% on the $5000 AP option (7.5% for CA) = totals about $375. More if you ourchase the go fund me $3000 AP option on top of that. Just a thought...
Does anyone with a model S have any experience with retroactively buying AP and if there were taxes included?
Thanks,
