Just so I understand, the 7500 tax credit still applies to all configurations/colors when you lease an M3P?

The payment amount Tesla offers on leases includes the $7,500 Commercial Clean Vehicle Credit, the person leasing doesn't get any credits themself.

Tesla as a company receives the credit. It’s up to Teslas discretion whether to pass along any credit to the customer. They can pocket the whole thing or they can give partial or they can give all of it.

But the thing with leases is they can just massage the numbers to either make that money back or hide it somewhere else.

Right, I guess what I'm getting at/asking is you could still order red for instance, and techincally get 7500 off the price when you lease? This is not possible by financing obviously.

Yes, Tesla still gets the $7,500. But I wouldn't consider it "off the price", it may be off your payments, but since you can't buy out the lease, there is no price as to which you can own a leased vehicle.

My assumption is that you want the $7,500 off the lease and then to buy it out immediately. (What a lot of people are doing with Rivians, Toyota Rav4 Primes, etc.)

Any combo of options is eligible, but the terms Tesla quotes already include any credit effect. So the monthly payment is whatever it shows in the configurator.
