Why do people lease cars? like from what i can tell a lease is basically a super expensive long term rental with mileage and time limits, and you cant mod the vehicle because you don't own it.
My tesla is my 7th car I've owned and the first one i got a loan on (its mine now, got the pink slip a couple months ago), i love to modify cars for performance and looks. now performance wise not much to be done to PD model, but my old cars ive installed custom exhaust, superchargers, modded the computer and all sorts of fun things to make the car better. But i digress i have made plenty of changes to the tesla and they are not easily reversible, and the car is better for it.
If i had a lease i couldn't make any changes, and after paying a shitload of money for the lease over the time of using it you turn it in and literally have nothing to show for it. At least after paying for my car for 3 years i have the pink slip and own it outright, and have it a an asset that i could sell or use as a trade-in/down payment on another car later in life.
Also I've had my car for like 3.5'ish years and put 110k miles on it. most leases are like 30-50k miles or there is fees and crap for going over that limit.
I honestly cant understand why anyone would lease a car because there seems to be no positive side to doing that vs buying a car. And I'm not just talking about tesla I'm referring to leasing any car in general.
