Interested to see how the residual will compare to the 40kw Leaf. No leasing numbers have been released, just the starting price of $36,550 for the S, topping off at $42,550 for the SL.
With all the rebates available and a potentially higher residual, will the Plus actually be hackable??
Is the regular hackable? I have only seen sucky deals around Ca so the chances that the + will be any better are remote at best. On the other hand, maybe with its intro, the regular will come down to earth.
Hackable meaning 1% rule here in AZ. I know in CA it’s prob more .5% to be considered hacked on an EV. I do think the 40kw will not move at all now unless Nissan sacks up and discounts the hell out of them.
Well they have the advantage of the full tax rebate for another year or two while Tesla is will be done with tax rebate by year end. Also, to get the features of the Leaf you would need to spend more than 35k on Model 3
All that said, if I was looking for an EV and Model 3 was anywhere close to price of Leaf I would by the Tesla.
The thing is i don’t care about driving the latest tech or about range and would settle for a Leaf but not at the ridiculous lease prices Nissan demands. Maybe it’s not too late and when March will be done and they only sold 200 nationwide maybe then they will wake up.
The traditional car manufacture do have the money to back up with low leases to flood the market and push their losses out to their subs. Also the ZEV credits will be worth something. I really think the $0 DAS <$250 cars will come back soon enough. I feel horrible to have a <$330 Volt
As much as love EVs. Still prefer to lease them.
Just look at my 2015, I3 Rex lease. 55k when I leased it. returned it after 30 months with 16k miles on it. was offered for 20k as a CPO by the dealer.
