Wow, that sucks you have to pay all the tax even you are leasing.
I ordered a MS 90D the same night after Elon's announcement last week. I went through the similar calculation to determine if I should buy or lease as well. After getting bunch of numbers from my owner advisor, my total cost of ownership for leasing come down to quite a bit cheaper than doing the Tesla lending. Mainly due to the residual is quite high (59% after 3 years). Also, I only have to pay tax on the depreciating part of the car (41%).
Lease:
$1318 x 36 Months
$7084 due at signing (includes 41% sales tax and registration)
Total: $54,532 for 3 years
Buy/Loan:
$1460 x 72 Months
$14210 due at signing (includes 100% sales tax and registration)
Total: $66,770 for 3 years
