I doubt CarMax is actually placing orders, but I wouldn’t be surprised if CarMax is the first place anyone goes to scalp their own new model 3 and CarMax is happy to add an extra 5k to profit on their sale.

Possible, but unlikely. The sales tax+registration you'd be paying would be a lot on a new car, around $4000. I believe Carmax doesn't have to pay sales tax or registration on a new car because they're a dealer.

No; the dealer license allows them to own cars without titling them in their name, not escape the sales tax / registration the state collects when a car is titled.

And that car was titled, just as every Tesla is after Tesla sells it.
