On: New Jersey legalizes direct Tesla sales

You're missing a huge part. Get an insurance quote for what it will run you every 6 months. You can also get a tag, title and tax quote as well.

Also 200-300 for DMV is for a $2000 car in CA or a $6000 car in OK. $200-300 sounds extraordinarily low based on my purchases in both the midwest (MO, TX, OK) and west coast (CA 10%+).

When you buy from a dealership, you pay the taxes to them. If you are buying a used car from another person, you pay the taxes at the DMV.

The $200-300 is just registration + any fees.

Depends on the state. In CA yes you do. In OK/TX/MO I never paid the dealer.
