10% off msrp should be doable, right? 
Maybe on a loaner once that’s a thing.
Give it a year or so.
Insurance for Tesla 3 is only $25/mo more than BMW 330i’s for me.
Unfortunately our lovely 2020 Equinox lease at $217/mo + tax is coming to an end. We may extend it another 6 mo.

Psst.
Congrats! Glad I was able to help someone rather than get roasted by someone who prefer Beemers…

You’re getting a much better deal than anyone who bought one last year - that’s great. Out of curiosity, did you consider a purchase to take advantage of the tax rebate?
I did. But I don’t think I would want to keep this (or other cars) for long so leasing suits better for me.
If I calculate with 3 year span in mind, finance vs. lease may not be far off from each other. It all depends on what the car’s value will be in 3 years. If it holds value well, finance would have been better. But I assume that in that case, I could swap the lease and ask for some down payment and still make the lease work out okay financially.
I welcome LHers’ opinions.
Thank you.
Same conclusion on my end……but I leased in December so paid more than you🤪 Mine was $6300ish DAS and $489 with tax on a 36/10.

I can’t afford your Equinox. I still have another year on my $120/mo Bolt lease! I’m not looking forward to spending 6 Bolts on something else in the future…

Too bad the discounted MF is only applicable for the SR, not the P :(. MF on the Performance is 0.002551 vs the SR’s 0.000716. The SR also has a 2% higher residual.

I would guess that may be because most of those will not qualify for the tax credit since the sales price will be above $55,000.
Sales price loophole is part of the fun with the lease pass through.
How else would an iX 50e qualify? Unless BMW, others are putting the $7,500 out there out of the goodness of their heart and love for Mother Gaia. 
3Ps are still under the $55k limit as well, certain configs at least. Though with leasing it wouldn’t really matter anyway.
Tesla appears to be passing some of the EV credit via inflated residuals and reduced money factors on the leases.
