Yea there is a road tax on a EV in Oregon now as of Jan 15 (That's what the state calls it on my paperwork...) thats the $612 EV charge.
My title-tax+plates were 999 bucks. Its supposed to make up for the lack of revenue that they don't get from the EV's.

Tesla no longer gets the federal rebate, (was 2500) But I still get the Oregon state one for 2500.. (Yes this IS just as stupid as it sounds.. ) I can still get a rebate on charger installation as well, I have 1 level two in my garage but I'm considering getting the Tesla one as well, just because of the telemetry for keeping track of power use and better charge control.

I was able to order the car online because it was "in stock" at the Bellvue dealer.
Otherwise they have some convoluted scheme where you can order a "basic" RWD with 220 miles range , less optioned (mostly software) for 36K but its dealer only, or you can order the standard range+ online.. Its currently discounted a couple grand so it made sense to go upscale for the couple extra options and the 30 more miles range.

Awesome that a 40K car doesn't come with floor mats. LOL
