I think these are pretty good looking prices. A year ago I was in the $7-800 effective monthly for an e-tron after factoring in drive offs, so I got an m850i instead for $999 12k miles per year, 130k sticker, zero drive offs besides MSDs. I wish I was in the market for a new vehicle now, Iād probably get one of these, easily $200 pm cheaper than a year ago.
Has this been confirmed that renewing a lapsed Costco membership will work for this?

Still debating between a e tron and model y. Model y seems to be have better reviews when comparing the two . Anyone else use same logic?
Depends on your budget. If youāre leasing, Teslaās rarely make sense. Otherwise if you Google it Iām sure youāll find comparison reviews. But frankly, test driving each will go a long way.
At these prices, Iād lease an e-tron, wouldnāt even be a close call.

Exactly. People look at the optics, but donāt crunch their own numbers. When people look at broker pricing, theyāre not doing the math on effective monthly pmts. If you roll your driveoffs, which you should, and calculate your monthly payments, you can easily see which ones make sense.
I havenāt even factored in broker fees and Samās 36 month deals (both 7.5k and 10k) are better than all the broker deals out thereā¦ at least from the first page of the marketplace. (Not so much for the 24, but with these prices Iād rather lock the car in for 3 years instead of 2).
@ the MSD ppl that commented earlier: I believe with Sam, the max MSDs lowered the payment (vs no MSD) by over $40/month. Coming out to around 8.8-10% IRR over the 3 years. Considering this is a completely guaranteed return, you can only properly compare this against other investments/assets with similar risk. So youād be looking at high-yield savings, CDs, Tbills, etc. No-brainer. Now if your risk profile allows you to invest and in a sense bet on a singular stock or multiple stocks, thatās great for you. But from a money perspective, youād be doing yourself a disservice if you compare the returns on a high risk asset vs a no-risk alternative.

Has this been affirmed that recharging a passed Costco enrollment will work for this?
My Costco membership expired about four months ago. I was able to renew it and it just says ā member since 2017ā (when I first joined). Iām sure there is some point where renewal no longer works, but a matter of months is definitely fine.
In any case, I just did a deal with Sam for an ETron and my renewed membership worked flawlessly.

I know this has been asked twice now, but didnāt see a response yet: Are these available in NorCal as well or in-person pick up in SoCal only?

Samaudibh,
If you have a California address, but own an home in Oregon and your drivers license is in Oregon, where you donāt pay taxes and where I register my vehicles, can I still do this deal.
I live in California, but donāt have my license here or register my vehicles here.
This is not legal. You may want to reconsider posting about commiting tax fraud online.
