Lease termination followed by new car purchase?

[colea]

I have a leased MYLR whose lease ends this coming December. At that time. I would like to purchase outright a new MYLR to take advantage of all the many incremental improvements.

My ideal scenario is this: In December I drive to the service center to turn in my leased car, then take delivery of the new MY during the same visit. Total time < 1 hour.

My expectation is that the probability of this scenario is probably less than 0.0001%. With the long and uncertain order lead times, I'm afraid that there would be a window when I would either have 2 cars or 0 cars. Not ideal!

Have any of you dealt with this situation (the earliest 2-year leases should soon be ending)? How far in advance would I have to sign up for the new car? Advice? (My lease agreement says that it may not be extended, at least for now.)

I had a leased X when I bought my 3. The arrival date of the new car was vague and I spoke to Tesla who just said to keep the X u til whenever the 3 arrived. That was an extra 2 weeks or so. On pickup day I arrived in the X, gave them the keys and signed a piece of paper and then took delivery of the 3

Easy! (YMMV)

Thanks for the update. Hope it's still as easy as that!
