How North Dakota taxes a Cybertruck lease
North Dakota assesses its 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 $513 in government fees.
North Dakota applies one statewide treatment, so your ZIP code doesn't change the rate.
Where North Dakota ranks on lease cost
On the honest cross-state comparator, the full 3-year cost (everything due at signing plus every remaining payment), North Dakota ranks #16 of 47 leaseable states at an all-in $1,379/mo ($49,631 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.
