How West Virginia taxes a Cybertruck lease
West Virginia taxes a Cybertruck lease the way most states do: sales tax is added to each monthly payment, and the same 5% also applies once to your down payment, collected at signing. So the payment Tesla shows with taxes and fees included is the pre-tax payment plus 5%, and the drive-off check holds the down payment plus its tax, the first (taxed) monthly, the $695 acquisition fee, and an estimated $442 in registration and government fees.
West Virginia applies one statewide treatment, so your ZIP code doesn't change the rate.
Where West Virginia ranks on lease cost
On the honest cross-state comparator — the full 3-year cost (everything due at signing plus every remaining payment) — West Virginia ranks #14 of 47 leaseable states at an all-in $1,182/mo ($42,537 over the full three years), against a national all-in average of $1,202/mo. Comparing quoted monthlies across states is misleading: states that collect tax at signing look cheaper per month than they are.
