Just found out that my state won't charge me sales tax, but won't allow HOV access.
Also, I love how they mention it's exempt from emissions inspections...really?.
I'm now considering upgrading to a signature.

Move to OK. They'll give you a tax credit for 50% of the purchase cost! (Until 2015 or so.)

I would love to get that OK 50% tax credit but in CA but other then the HOV access and the $7k tax credit, it sucks out here. I foresee that all of that $7k I would imagine would go back towards the sales tax and luxury car tax which is over over 10% of the total car cost. Does anyone know what it will look like for us in CA with the sales tax and luxury car tax, ect.

There is a $5000 rebate for Californians, although the funds may run out before the Model S comes out. And there is also a $3000 incentive for San Joaquin Valley residents, and a $2000 rebate for Riverside residents.
