Looking at a lease. One thing I find a little odd is the difference/costs of FSD. The option is $5,000 but you will pay $3000 over the 36 months or 60%. Ran the numbers on 19” wheels/tires option and get the same 60% deprecation results. Seems options are hit hard and VERY expensive on the lease program. Know options are HIGH profit's and add less to the residual value of the car but is this standard through the industry?
If so it almost seems ironic that Musk is almost promoting FSD as an appreciating asset while simultaneously depreciating it the same as a frivolous option. Of course I know that after lease turn in the FSD can easily be switched on but still…
Just for kicks here is some of the configurations and lease numbers I ran.
