I leased a Tesla starting Dec 2022. It was registered in SC.
I just moved to NC and want to title the car here. I went to the DMV and was charged 3% tax on the purchase price ($66,000), plus other fees, so around $2500 total.
Is this correct? I did not think I would have to pay that much since I did not purchase the vehicle outright. Should the 3% be just on the lease payment?
I also saw a provision that for cars purchased > 6 months ago in another state, the maximum amount paid is $250.
I emailed Tesla and they were not helpful.
