thanks for the reply. Unlike most leases, i think Tesla's don't have a buy out option - at least i think my lease doesn't - so i may convert to purchase before picking up - i was going to buy my daughter's compass at the end of the lease and then just flip it and make $5k or whatever, and decided not to bother.
some of my thoughts include will the 4680 cells come out on the LR or Plaid or whatever the S will be at the time, and what will that do to the current refresh? How about Lucid, Rivian, Polestar, etc.? Right now Tesla is really in the lead - but the others may catch up. It doesn't diminish how great the car is per se, but if i can get a similar car or superior car, for the same or less money, that would decrease the value of my 3 year old car at the time.
years ago, i was looking at townhouses, and the market dropped, so the guy trying to sell his offered to sell for less if he could prepay more of his mortgage - new ones were going for LESS!!!!
I'm not worried about a few dollars, I AM more concerned about 36 months later, i'm i the present tesla monkey situation and then i'd need a stop gap car, which would kinda suck.
