There is a new law saying places online have to charge sales tax for the local area. It's a huge burden, but it's also only fair to localities as people can't be trusted to pay tax themselves. I wonder how this affects Tesla and Elio when they start selling.

With a few exceptions, most all sales/use tax are State Taxes. Normally property taxes are county based.It will not effect taxes you pay taxes based on the county you live in on any motor car or motorcycle.
I'll see if I can find anything on that.Still no information yet on the court case. Maybe the judge is waiting for Elio to get funding?
Somewhat related is the Autocycle Bill. If it does not pass then the Elio would be considered a motorcycle and each state would/could define their own requirements. Read the bill here: https://www.govtrack.us/congress/bills/115/hr2381/text
Given a 2% chance of being passed. Maybe they are waiting for Elio funding too.
Totally untrue. If the neither of the bills (there are two) do not pass into law, the states will still have to adhere to the existing federal requirements.If it does not pass then the Elio would be considered a motorcycle and each state would/could define their own requirements.

The only exceptions to that are, and will continue to be, helmet and license/endorsements and any equipment and/or configuration not addressed in the existing federal language. And believe me, there's not much the NHTSA didn't cover.
No sir, you are incorrect. Please check the entire body of the NHTSA regulations.... and while the Elio would be considered to be a motorcycle by federal law, the states can add and modify around those laws using the "autocycle" definition. The "autocycle" is not addressed in the federal language yet.
Therefore, the states may define equipment and configurations specifically for the "autocycle". The need for a center headlight comes to mind. Federal laws say its required, but states can define the "autocycle" as having two headlights a minimum distance apart.
