    2024 EV Tax credit updates. Model 3 RWD/LR will no longer qualify come Jan 1 2024. Point of sale credits will apply which is a win for qualified models and buyers. Schedule a demo drive here: www.tesla.com/referral/robert3199

    Just save up and pay cash for used or new! Why give away money to the banks and be strapped down with payments?
    Bought our 2023 base Model 3 (zero options or upgrades) in September 2023 for $28k cash! $7500 rebate and $4k deducted for buying one already available on the lot!

    Can you go “zero down” with the lease? I understand you have to pay the rest of the fees, but if I don’t want to put anything outside of that down is it allowed. Ty!

      @RobertSchmitt  Před 7 měsíci +2

      it seems so. you can play with it on tesla.com on the payment calculator. when i change the payment to 0 down, the Model 3 base for example is about 500 per month

    It seems like you’re just buying a headache when you are trying to sell it. Who buys the car back? Tesla when that happens they will not give you a good amount for the car. Either way you look at it, buying or leasing you will still end up spending more money or losing money.

      Tesla just updated lease options for existing inventory. Because of the new price adjustments cannot lease existing.
      "Lease Unavailable
      This vehicle is not able to be leased due to the adjusted price
      Only cash and loan purchases are available on vehicles with adjusted prices. Select a vehicle without an adjusted price if you are interested in leasing."

      @@Western.Confrence I paid the order fee, of course, then I paid $1957.67. I sent an email to my Tesla advisor asking how that fee was calculated. Some of these numbers are probably specific to what state you live in. The fee consists of first month's payment, registration fee, lease acquisition fee, title, filing fee, minus the $250 registration fee.

      I feel like you will be able to, but they're reserving the right to set the price at that time, vs most leases have a prescribed buyout price. Weird choice by Tesla, seems to me they're betting on their cars not depreciating too much

    • @RobertSchmitt
      @RobertSchmitt  Před 7 měsíci +3

      It's changed over the years. Overall Tesla wants to take it back because it adds to their fleet of full self driving robotaxis that have been massively subsidized by us.
      In previous years you could buyout the S.and X but now none of the cars have this option.

      Tesla leases are terrible. It doesn’t matter your term you cannot buy out your lease after you term has expired? How is that even allowed? And from my experience Tesla is the only manufacturer that does this. And I am not sure why though?
