Just so I understand, the 7500 tax credit still applies to all configurations/colors when you lease an M3P?
Tesla as a company receives the credit. It’s up to Teslas discretion whether to pass along any credit to the customer. They can pocket the whole thing or they can give partial or they can give all of it.

But the thing with leases is they can just massage the numbers to either make that money back or hide it somewhere else.

Right, I guess what I'm getting at/asking is you could still order red for instance, and techincally get 7500 off the price when you lease?
Yes, Tesla still gets the $7,500. But I wouldn't consider it "off the price", it may be off your payments, but since you can't buy out the lease, there is no price as to which you can own a leased vehicle.

My assumption is that you want the $7,500 off the lease and then to buy it out immediately. (What a lot of people are doing with Rivians, Toyota Rav4 Primes, etc.)

Any combo of options is eligible, but the terms Tesla quotes already include any credit effect. So the monthly payment is whatever it shows in the configurator.
 
Surprised more people aren’t taking about the highland long range awd is now eligible for 7500 tax credit. This makes a grey one 40,000 plus delivery and order fee. Not a bad deal
WTH does Tesla make it game to discover their changes.

Why not just announce on car page!

BTW, FYI:
RWD (no $7500)
36 month 1.99%
48 and 60 month 2.99%

NOTE: RWD and AWD LR is $8500 difference.... Whut??

Wow, that must be a recent change. Now I want to get sell my 2022 MYLR to get that M3LR highland.
Recent as in TODAY. Wish they’d do the 1.99% also
