Thanks for sharing, that helps!

On the plus side at least I may not have to put winter tires on for 8 months. :)

I would interpret the finalize notifs next month to mean that we will start to get Canadian Ps delivered 4 months afterwards which would put us in the January/February timeframe ... will still need winter tires then unless you are in Vancouver or on Vancouver Island

Although hopefully the time between the email and the delivery will be shortened by then due to operating at a much higher capacity.
 
The day after the online DocuSign was completed, I got an email to call TM and talked to my Product Specialist. He indicated everything was OK. The $40k deposit was paid back in June.
I'll have to follow up on Tuesday.

I needed to resolve some issues before signing mine, but once I did, online, I got the countersigned digital document almost immediately.

I was very pleased with how Tesla Canada and headquarters dealt with my questions. I feel more confident that most, if not all, of us will see our cars before the end of the year.
 
Yes I will certainly post once I find out. As for why leasing? Well some of the advantages are negated by it having to be an open end lease where we guarantee the end value. As normally with a manufacturer lease you don't have to worry about resale value if the car is in an accident, the model is unpopular or anything else that is beyond your control. So why am I still doing it? Mostly because of the payment difference. In a lease you only have to pay for the time you are using the vehicle. In other words your payments will be based on the difference between the price and the residual (or buy back value) so the payment will be substantially less or I will make payments for a much shorter period of time. Say a 48 month lease versus a 72 or 84 month loan. In addition cars are not an investment, so why tie up a huge amount of your credit or even worse use your line of credit for something that goes down in value so fast. Also I rarely keep my vehicles past 4 years, that is the case with most of the buying public, usually while there is still money owed people's lives or preferences change and when the try to trade in the car they owe more on it than it is worth.

Hi Jgdixon, just wondering if you had heard more information regarding the possibility of leasing a Model S? Are there companies that buy the cars you want to lease? Do you know what these types of companies are called? (so I could do a search on the Internet. lol)
 
@noob

Look at Luxury car leasing companies in your area. For instance, in Montreal, Holland buys luxury car to your specs and leases it out to you.

They even have Tesla listed in the Brand drop down list on their financing page : Financing for luxury car - Car financing | Holand Leasing - Luxury car

You might want to give them a call...
I will be dealing with Halton Auto Leasing. There are many independent lease companies out there. I'm sure you can find them through an Internet search. I am negotiating with them on the residual % and the down payment. With Tesla being so new they are trying to stay on the conservative side for the residual to reduce their risk.
 
For us West Coasters, it was a fleeting good sign that the new service web page briefly showed the Vancouver center as "open now." They fixed that, but I am hoping that it is an indication that they are really close to announcing it, since that is the gateway for BC customers getting our cars (and our $5000 rebate!).
