People need to remember there are California sales tax complications for out of state buyers. You have to pay California sales tax unless the vehicle is shipped out of state by a third party. You should get a credit in your home state if you pick up and pay California sales tax, but if your local rate is lower then you eat the difference.

The reason Granger and Long-MacArthur are better for out of state buyers is their states offer transit permits with no sales tax. You pay the sales tax in your state upon registration. And their state titling systems support electronic signatures, no “wet” signature complications/costs.

Also need to remember that sometimes demand outpaces expectation when a new vehicle launches. We've seen that before. And when that happens, a lot of people will end up waiting for a long while to get one.
