The advantage of a lease is that you can walk away from the car in three years. The disadvantage of a lease is that you are stuck with the car for three years. (Sort of, but not really, there are lease trading/swapping websites that can get you out sooner)
Mileage limits are always the killer. $0.25/mile ($250/1,000 miles) over the limit set by your initial lease choice.
Not necessarily... especially with Tesla lease deals.- Cheaper than buying and selling after 3 years
Not saying that would be the case. Just saying, that would be a reason to lease, if true.Not necessarily... especially with Tesla lease deals.
A good way to figure this out is to look at Model S - and see what would have been the buy&sell cost vs lease cost after three years. I don't know whether anyone has done some analysis on that.
I can think of multiple ways to do this.I don't think anyone has done that, I have asked before. I have tried, but I have no idea what the depreciation for a Tesla is or by how much a Tesla can be sold for after 3 years.

Here is a pretty good thread to give you an idea of Tesla's resale value. It is about Tesla's "Resale Value Guarantee" which is still offered as far as I know, as long as you finance the car through Tesla.I don't think anyone has done that, I have asked before.

Debating the Resale Value Guarantee
Lease residuals are much higher than the RVG, even after deducting the federal tax credit. This means the actuaries agree with you, and the RVG is not providing significant benefit: if one is worried about the value of their car in 3 years, the best option is to lease it.
True enough. As always, if you are willing to sell it yourself that could change the picture. But at least it gives you a starting point to apply to each individuals unique situation to help them make a lease vs. purchase Tesla decision. My current ICE vehicle is a 27 month lease... got such a good deal on it I couldn't pass it up. When I compared numbers, etc. at the time, it beat the pants off of a purchase by far. All my other vehicles have been purchases.Assuming this post is correct, lease would win out.
