Interesting development last night....the lease payments are no longer displayed on the listing pages on tesla.com for inventory cars, only the cash/financed price. Not sure what happened there? simple bug? desire to recognize 100% revenue up front for all inv cars? I have a tough time believing that inv. cars became "unleasable" overnight, but who knows....just when I thought I was getting closer to cracking "the code".
At any rate, if you're actively hunting for a leasable car, I would recommend reaching out to an OA directly. Assuming these cars are still leasable, the lease calculator on tesla.com won't be accurate since one can only input the final sales price, ignoring the orignal MSRP price and associated discount, hence spitting out inflated lease payments. OAs have an internal calculator that is smarter than that and actually give them the accurate numbers and insights into potential upcoming inventory.
If someone needs contact info for an OA, I have a really good one that I can point you to via PM as they're not allowed to share their info on here. Since others have asked, I have no relationship with Tesla or that specific OA.
Thanks for those of you who reached out to thank me for helping them find a car...I think we're at 10 and counting off this thread!
