My Model 3 reservation is close to coming due and my intent was to have someone assume the lease on my P85D when that happened. I called Tesla to ask about the process and they told me they don't allow it unless there's 12 payments left in the lease. I have 10. So then I asked if they're still allowing customers to extend their leases by 6 months and they are. Great. So being a wiseguy, I ask her if I can extend the lease and then transfer it. No go. She says they won't let you extend the lease until there's just 3 months left.
My question is whether or not anyone has had any luck getting Tesla to transfer their lease with less than 12 months on the contract or am I fighting a brick wall here? I'd really like out of the car so I can get the 3 now. Otherwise my best case scenario is putting one of the cars are Turo and I don't want to do that.
By the way... According to Tesla, they have changed the policy on M3 reservations so that even previous owners take priority over non-owners. That means if you've ever owned a Tesla, even if you don't now, you get priority over non-owners.
