I started this mess, so EV cars are part of the problem with being taxed at the pump, they are not. They weigh more than my truck, and mess up roads faster and with taxes going up and up, why not look for solutions to help yourself out.

People avoid emissions by going to different counties, hunting guides the unscrupulous kind seem to do all kinds of harm and nothing really happens to them. But this is all interesting view points to consider and decide what is best for you.

I dont think the average or most EV owners realize the weight and replacement cost of the batteries.

The rich guys know all the angles. I went with a buddy to buy an RV one time.  He flew his brother down from Oregon to buy it.

They had a towne car that they drive to needles, CA to sign the papers to make it legal. Once titled in Oregon he could transfer the title

Another buddy just never registers his RVs. A ticket if you ever get one is $350. Registration is $2000 a year. Cheap gamble.

if you are in that bracket in between earnings, i thinks around 200 grand a year or lower you are screwed with taxes, Warren Buffet said that he pays less taxes than his secretary, billionares or that 1% always find a way.

He pays less percent than his secretary but he pays millions in taxes so no he doesnt pay less taxes

i see a lot of high end cars with Montana plates around.

I met a man in lake Havasu with a Ferrari with Montana plates. I asked him where in Montana he was from as I have family in the Bitterroot. He said he has never even been to the state. He said he formed an LLC in Montana and had a dealer up there order the car for him and bought it under the LLC . Said he saved 30k in sales tax plus much cheaper registration.

Mulepacker had it right, and you misunderstood Buffett's quote - he said he pays less tax rate (or percentage) than his secretary.  Not less taxes (or smaller dollar value).  2 different things commonly confused.

The dealership will want north of 20K for a full brake job.
