I have tried to put in the numbers into various lease calculators and the numbers for a Tesla Model S lease are not adding up. If i price out a base 75D, the Tesla website shows the lease payments to be about $1000 with a $5K down. That means over a three year lease, i am paying $41K for the car. Now the CPO or even the market used car prices for a three year old car are no where near $40K below MSRP (they are significantly higher). And the numbers go further wacko once you bring the $7500 tax credit into the equation. So question is why is the lease price so high on the model S? Based on my math, it should be in the vicinity of $500 tops per month.
What am i missing?
