Model S lease turn-in - what to expect?

Hi everyone,

On 7/8/2016 I entered into a 3 year lease on a Model S 60. The price of the car was $72,200 (I was poor - had to get the affordable version! haha!!). I paid $7,509 at least signing and am currently paying $810/mo for the car, which I dearly love by the way.

This is my first time to lease a car so I'm wondering what to expect when I turn it in. What I'm most curious about is this: If I pay the $2,000 right now to unlock the 75kWh battery, will that benefit me in any way at lease turn-in? Are there any other "gotchas" I should be aware of? Besides not going over my 15k/year milage, is there anything else I can do to ensure a smooth separation from the car and lease?

Thanks so much! I really appreciate the advice!

Heath
