Cybertruck Lease Tax in Maine (2026)

How Maine taxes a Cybertruck lease
Maine assesses its 5.5% lease tax up front on the sum of all lease payments plus any down payment. Tesla capitalizes that tax into the lease, so the quoted monthly already carries it, and the due at signing holds just the down payment, first monthly, acquisition fee, and an estimated $2,156 in government fees.
Maine applies one statewide treatment for most addresses. We've pulled 1 ME ZIP codes directly against Tesla's checkout to confirm it, and where Tesla's math ever differs locally, the estimator carries the verified correction.
Where Maine ranks on lease cost
On the honest cross-state comparator, the full 3-year cost (everything due at signing plus every remaining payment), Maine ranks #37 of 47 leaseable states at an all-in $1,431/mo ($51,526 over the full three years), against a national all-in average of $1,395/mo. Comparing quoted monthlies across states is misleading: states that collect tax at signing look cheaper per month than they are.
How we verify these numbers
We've pulled 1 ME ZIP codes directly against Tesla's own checkout math (as of 2026-10-26). When our number and Tesla's disagree by more than half a percentage point, we chase the discrepancy to the root cause and re-verify weekly. The estimator matches Tesla's own ordering panel to within a couple of dollars.
