Tesla offered early lease end opportunity

This site may earn commission on affiliate links.
just got email from Tesla’s Ownership Loyalty Team, offering to end my current lease 6 month earlier if I take a new delivery by the end of September. say they will take over the remain lease. I can not find any info online. According to email, the program being very specialized only to a select group of customers, therefore, no public information available online. Anyone else got such offer?

Who is your lessor? I got a call and email from Tesla wanting me to buy another Tesla, but no offers. However, my lease is up very soon. I'm holding out for a ride in the Tesla Semi with Elon.
 
I got the same offer, via phone call... Not sure what I want to do... I was set on an X but either they got way more expensive or Tesla's rates are hideous as it's almost $400 more per month than I'm paying now for my fully loaded S90D...

I drove a M3P and was blown away but naturally, that's not eligible for this "promotion"... I'm seriously leaning towards just turning it in normally at the end and then deciding from there. I really don't see what the "promo" part of this is... I still have to pay full price, I still have to pay all of the fees associated with a new purchase including the insane amount of money "down", and I get no promo lease terms or anything... Yeah I get they are trying to stack Q3 but Tesla is going to have to do better than that... I'm not paying upwards of $1,800 a month for an X100D...

well, I don't think Tesla ever have any official loyalty lease payment skipping program in the past, so it is kind of like "promotion" to them. you do have a chance to get a new car earlier, and may still get the federal tax deduction before it expire after Sept.
I have used Mercedes accelerator program for years.

Jeff, my loyalty advisor says that the M3P DOES qualify for this promo about 15 minutes ago.

I got the same offer to break my December lease with a new car ordered before September 16th, the only incentive I saw was they claimed the $7,500 US rebate would be harder to get in Decembe,r when my lease expires, as the US rebate starts to run out.

I'm wondering if there is a change in the Model S feature roadmap after September and they are trying to keep production steady, any body know if there are Model S feature changes between September and December?

I came here wondering the same thing. As far as I know, the only imminent upgrade is the new Nvidia based main processor that will come out in ~6 months with HW 3.0. Elon has stated that people w/ HW 2.0 can 'plug and play' this new chip, but I'm a little nervous to pull the trigger. I would hate for HW 3.0 to also include something like LIDAR that wouldn't be plug and play.
 
I don't think anything out of the ordinary besides they are trying to load Q3.

They are capturing a lot of new sales just moving Model 3s and buyers interested in Tax credit for Model S and Model X.

If they can ALSO capture existing owners, why not?

If the costs are reasonable, do it and take one for the team. :D

Been sitting on upgrading to FSD on my Model X.

If I'm gonna do it ANYWAY.. I might as well do it in Q3.

Were I to guess, I would expect that Tesla is targeting a bunch of vehicles with a present residual that is less than the market value of the car. They could take these cars in, resell them for a profit, and bump up new sales at the same time.

Good point. My 2016 85D only has 21K miles on it with a $67k residual and late February 2019 lease termination (they can probably sell if for more than that). I just got the lease termination offer as well, which is good if I buy a new Model S, X, or 3P.

I got the same offer. Lease scheduled to end 11\23.
If I ordered before 09/16 (free supercharging deadline) and take delivery in September they waived my last two payments (September and October).

I believe you have to purchase full self driving to get the “free” processor upgrade.
