Less than a year ago, I leased my P90D Model S, pretty much loaded and the best I could get at the time for less than $1,600 a month based on a 12,000 mile per year lease.
Just priced out a new fully loaded P100D and holy crap!!, $2,404 before taxes. Add in L.A. 9.0% sales tax and its up to $2,620.36 per month!!! Far higher than any lease payment for similarly priced cars from any other manufacturer. Even a P90D, no Ludicrous is priced at $1,942 ($2,116.78 after sales tax).
Man, I love Tesla, but that's just stupid money. With the car's price now at $167,000, insurance prices are likely to be astronomical. My insurance company nailed me for going over $100,000 on price, this car is 67% more. Not sure how it will affect insurance rates, but it certainly won't be cheaper, especially for those of us in Los Angeles and other high rate areas.
