$7000 for five years of unlimited access to californian roadways and vehicle infrastructure? Ignoring the damage done to the environment and community health, the state is on the hook for $70b in maintenance in the same amount of time. So no, not really

If you ever priced out how much is costs to store a vehicle on private property, the states taxes and fees are a good deal.
exactly. The taxpayer shouldn't be subsidizing good deals on parking
30 million vehicles registered in a recent year, about half of which are “automobiles” and commercial vehicles which are heavier get taxed a lot more

So yeah i think it’s an adequate tax
