Oregon is one of the cheapest places to buy any car because there is no sales tax, only a 0.5% privilege tax on new vehicles. On a Model 3 that is about $210 instead of the thousands most states charge.
The Oregon Clean Vehicle Rebate has been worth up to $2,500, plus up to $5,000 more through Charge Ahead for income-qualified buyers, but it has been paused more than once when funding ran out.
