How expensive is your registration?

[Ash]

I can't wait to get out of this state. $1172 a year isn't the end of the world, but it sure feels excessive. My 2019 GX460 is under $400... I guess the state would rather I drive my gas guzzling V8 than my R1T. I'll pay this extortive bill and sleep better knowing I only have to pay this one more time, because I'm out of here in under 2 years. What state are you in and how much do you pay to register your Rivian?

I'm in California too, and it is much higher than many other states.

Part of the cost is a percentage of the purchase cost. The other is a CHP fee and some other admin costs.

I wonder if you can see a breakdown because a Google search shows the majority of the fee is 0.65% of purchase price. If it was a $100K car, it would be $650. I assume you got the pre-increase cost so it should be much less.

Now that I think about it, I never questioned my registration renewal costs. Maybe I should because the Google calculator shows it should be less. If I search on the DMV website, I enter my plate/VIN and it just gives me the total cost without a breakdown.

Interesting...

I wonder what the renewal will cost. Probably pretty close to that though.

I'm allowed - born and raised, just time to live somewhere without nasty cold / snow.

In NJ it is by weight and age of the vehicle. So it would be $84.

Thanks, I actually saw that before. But it doesn't show me anything if I don't have an upcoming renewal due.
