I know there are hundreds of thousand of us waiting for Model 3 production to begin. During this period I'd love to have an S to bridge the gap but I don't want to get locked up with a loan, long lease or eat away at my Model 3 nest egg money plus the technological obsolescence risk.
Tesla seems to be sitting on a large number of inventory vehicles and CPO's. If Tesla were to create a "flex lease" program just for Model 3 reservation holders that allowed you to lease one of the inventory vehicles at the current lease prices until your 3 was ready, would you? Along the same lines, would you lease one of the CPO cars under the same "flex" lease concept. Since Tesla does not have lease rates for CPO's lets just say something like $2k money up front and
;$350/month for a car in the $45K range
;$450/month for a car in the $55K range
;$550/month for a car in the $65K range
I imagine Tesla needs to move these inventory vehicles fast, generate additional cash flow and there is a lot of pent up demand amongst the Model 3 reservation holders that would just love a flexible option like this.
