    That's true if the state you're buying in has reciprocity with the state you're registering in. This is the case for me.

    Urgent, made down payment. Now need to decide Buy or Lease.

    I'm not sure how it's done in Canada. But in the US the Lessor sets the residual rate. Which for Tesla, the lessor is US Bank. You can of course get your own outside Lessor. Basically the Lessor buys the car from the manufacturer, and then "rents" it to you.

    That is categorically false. Residuals are a % of the MSRP. not the purchase price Sauce: https://cars.usnews.com/cars-trucks/what-does-residual-value-mean-for-a-car-lease How Residual Values are Calculated

    Urgent, made down payment. Now need to decide Buy or Lease.

    not quite the way it works out, because of astronomical Money Factor. which works out to a 5% APR over the term of the 36month lease I would pay $37,743 or roughly 34% of sticker. still not bad. I'm on leasehacker, I posted here: same username: UPDATED: Tesla Lease 913/month on 108k msrp...

    Urgent, made down payment. Now need to decide Buy or Lease.

    US Bank inflates the residual by $7,500 to account for the tax credit, making leases more attractive then they would be otherwise. And from what I hear, they also have some punitive early lease termination clauses. So while this may work on Audi and other brands, it's not worth pursuing on a...

    Urgent, made down payment. Now need to decide Buy or Lease.

    I dunno, it seems as long as the car is worth more than $52,211 after 3 years, I'd come out ahead on owning it, and I wouldn't be restricted by the lease terms (mileage, when I can turn it in, etc) It seems to me that the only way leasing would make sense for me would be for the following...

    Urgent, made down payment. Now need to decide Buy or Lease.

    You're right, the $7.5k looks to be deducted. I didn't see it explicitly mentioned. Would you be able to put your spreadsheet on google docs or drop box and PM me a link, I'd love to play around with the numbers to see what I come up with. I'm not concerned with monthly payments, I'm just...

    And you also missed the $7,500 tax credit?

    Urgent, made down payment. Now need to decide Buy or Lease.

    Also your $6k difference doesn't account for the "value" of the vehicle after 3yrs of loan payments. After 3yrs of leasing the value is getting my security deposit back. For Instance, using your numbers, I'd have $42.5k left to pay on the car at 36mnths. Let's assume I get your residual amount...

    Urgent, made down payment. Now need to decide Buy or Lease.

    The residual value I believe was $67k (may have been $63k, definitely in the 60's, I'd have to check my notes when I get back to the office tomorrow) I contacted tesla because of this post: Tesla Lease 760/month on 88k msrp (5k down) Where the guy got a slightly better lease deal on a 90D with...

    Urgent, made down payment. Now need to decide Buy or Lease.

    I just put a $2,500 down payment on a 2017 90D, it's listed as a demo, even though it has 23 miles on the odometer. It's spec'd out very close to how I'd want it, so took the bait. Sticker is ~$111,850 Discounted $22K for being a demo and a 90D $1k referral discount plus $7,500 tax credit if I...
