Won’t know that till he goes to the DMV. Tesla doesn’t do that part
He will at least know all price components except for state tax and registration fees. But, it is different from state to state as you indicate. I assume that, in California, complete registration is handled by Tesla. In Texas, mostly Tesla accepts payment excluding state fees/taxes, delivers needed paperwork with the car and the buyer goes to local tax office and pays sales tax and registration. That complicates things for those expecting to finance the entire amount. Sales tax in Texas is 6% or thereabouts. Registration less than $100. The last car I bought, 2018 3, Tesla tried to do the whole deal and badly botched it. I paid Tesla the whole ball of wax including state fees/taxes. I ended up driving the car illegally on paper tags for a couple of months before Tesla threw in the towel and refunded the state portion and supplied me the needed paperwork to take to tax office. Dealing with that final stage is and was trivial compared with Tesla doing it and failing. I don't know what the Texas situation is right now. We have hope that the Austin giga factory being very rapidly built will allow Tesla to triumph over the franchised auto dealers association lobby.
