The way it's worded is basically "you have to pay NV any difference between the sales tax where you purchased it and the going NV sales tax".

So it's not that they waive NV sales tax for CA cars, it's just that the difference between CA's ~9% and NV's ~8% is negative. I would argue NV should be paying me when I register it!

But at least it makes a little more sense. If I were to buy a car somewhere with 4% sales tax, I'd owe the other ~4% to NV upon registration. Or, it makes sense if you can get over the idea that NV is charging you sales tax on something you didn't buy in the state at all.
