Tesla has just started offering leases on their pre-owned inventory. Just browsing near me, you can get a Model 3 or Model Y starting at $225/month before tax with $0 down, $1000 drive-off. Coolest though, is they are offering these as 12-month leases. It would be awesome if other brands followed this. ---

They better come up with some really creative accounting bc they’re losing a lot more then 200/mo in depreciation…amazing how cheap these things got. I was looking at used model x plaids that were 100k last year for like 50. Might be time to short some tsla ---

I wonder if they are somehow able to get the $4k used EV credit through this lease instrument? ---

From what I read no. But who knows what these companies are capable of pulling off the way they structure things. That would be a huge windfall if so…especially on 12 month leases. coming out of the tax payers purse as usual. I don’t see how it’s possible though ---

The wholesale value of a 20 MYLR with 45K miles is around $24K. They are starting off with a retail value ($26K) that is probably above their basis. Manheim is predicting $300 of depreciation over the next 30 days and past sales show only $133 of depreciation per month for the past 6 months. I see them in the black on this example – these older MY and M3 have kinda bottomed out. ---

Cutting us production and making more affordable cars to sell here and abroad? I think that’s their new strategy. They have their hands in a lot more then cars too and have the cash to burn for a bit ---
