Delivery process in MA

The process in MA has changed by the way since Cinergi's post. You won't pay tax at all to Tesla now and will just make out a large personal check for tax to the RMV when submitting the RMV-1 form, certificate of origin and bill of sale to get plates. Tesla then requires you to send them a signed "Statement of Delivery Outside Califnornia" form indicating that the car wasn't delivered or sold within CA, excepting their need to take the tax.

I'll send them the form once I receive the car - they pre-filled the form as date of delivery 12/20/2012 and I'm still waiting for the car!

Ooops, I've already sent them the form back.
Car expected on 1/10 now. WTF. Emailed George G.
 
Thanks folks, the Massachusetts process seems to be getting clearer by the day. I wonder has anyone in New Hampshire gone through this yet? The last time I visited the RMV office in city hall (Nashua) they were doing a lot of head scratching, but told me that I wasn't the only person asking about it.
