Good point. The 2026 Model Y has HW4, improved NVH and a front camera. Those are still quite rare on used car market, so prices are pretty high. A lease before the $7,500 tax credit expires might be your best bet. (Or if NVH is a top priority, and you want the best possible lease deal, you might want to consider another manufacturer’s EV).
Zdx, blazer, Equinox, prologue, etc… plenty long list of stuff a lot cheaper

The money factor looks pretty high. I’ve largely only been looking at some BMWs
But the Tesla money factor / interest rate is 0.00329, ie about 8%. I’ve seen half that on current model BMW’s for lease. so thats 4% delta. You know what 4% interest on 40k is, thats 1600per year. Yes I know this is approx but thats 130$+tax a month extra
Other cars have better incentives. eg BMW on ix is 9900 lease incentive, not the 7500 you have above and people often get loyalty / work discounts on top, say another 2k. So say 11k versus 7.5k =~3600 = another 100$ a month cheaper for the BMW than the Tesla
