I’m assuming theirs a bit more NVH improvements besides the new rear acoustic glass.
The price of the X and S have dropped $20k. How will this effect BMW and Mercedes (or even other brands) pricing? Definitely worth waiting to see the impact?
That remains to be seen. Maybe there will be a financing incentive past what is already present since the leases are already being heavily subsidized.
Model S/X accounts for only about 4% of total vehicles delivered by Tesla. There are also price cuts for Model 3’s recently that are substantial (>$2k) in our area (NorCal).
96% of Tesla sales are 3 and Y?
Do you have a source for this?
It’s tiny. 1.3M 3/Y vs 66K S/X - global numbers.

Is this thread appropriate to ask this question?
What is the typical DAS on a M3 or MY if you do a zero down payment? It appears that registration and order fee are not calculated in. Can someone help estimate the true DAS and when the registration fee appears in the order process? TIA
You can’t finance the sales tax / fees on a purchase
I assume
Fees / acquisition fee on a lease

I don’t mind having a $3k - $5k drive-off. It’s just weird that Tesla won’t show what the total fees are including registration/license and whatnot. I’m trying to see what the total costs are with tags, does it calculate that along the way when ordering?

Might lease an in-stock MY standard range. I saw one in Fresno for $4k off that had decent numbers. I’m just curious on the total costs for drive-off.
The DAS can vary significantly by state. You will get an opportunity to review the final numbers, but if you don’t like what you see, you won’t get your $250 back.
The fixed costs are first month’s payment and acquisition fee of $695. Registration and other fees, I paid only $104 in NJ, but I am sure CA is higher. There is no doc fee, only DMV and related charges.
I believe in CA the tax is on the monthly payment. If we assume a $600/mo payment and 7.25% then your tax is $43.50 a month. Someone from CA will know better.

Leasing for Teslas are generally a no go… you automatically waive the option to buy it at the end of the lease

With the way they resell, I don’t think I care about the buyout given the model I’d consider leases like hot garbage anyway.

Wow thanks for sharing. Had no idea there was this big of a spread.
This is really helpful thank you. Yes that is my exact tax rate in california. So I’m assuming outside of acquisition, first month and order fee. I should only be looking at registration and maybe $80 doc.
I’ve leased probably 20 cars in California and I’ve never found it so difficult to find the total drive off figures.
I have no intention to buy it out at the end and I overqualify for any type of federal incentives if I purchase out right.

I started looking at this just for fun and then got a trade value back on our current MX that made it a non starter unless they also transferred our free unlimited supercharging and premium connectivity to the new car.
Not sure if this is the right place to ask but I am currently commuting to work and I pay about $400/mo for public transit. With the current price of M3 (I qualify for the Federal Tax Credit and the NY EV Credit), my payment approx. for a M3 would be around $430~/mo.
My current living situation wouldn’t be permanent as I expect to live here for the next 4 years and then relocate back to the city. Would it be worth it to consider picking up a M3 as my commuter? I know I still have to consider insurance & parking fees, however, it’d be probably $200/mo on top max. So my thoughts are that at least I’d have equity in my M3 as compared to the pitfall of public transit. Thanks in advance!
