To what end I ask ? If you’re already paying through the nose why not at least own the car after spending all that money ?

There’s gotta be a typo in there. Does a Tesla’s Lease LTV can be that bad?
Pay $102,000 And you won’t be able to purchase it at the end of the lease either. 
Tesla stopped allowing lease buyouts on ALL models in April ‘22.
Damn I’m out of date. Just googled it and wow, all new leases post April 22 have no buyout option… my bad!
The asterisk is currently in stealth mode….what’s crazy is that uninformed go in, ask about this, drop $4,875 at signing and walk out thinking it’s only $199 / month.

I guess it must work on some people, but it must be a huge time waste for the sales team in a lot of cases as well. “Yes, we have this at $199, just give us $8k to cover the down payment and TTL and you can be on your way.”.
Another one I’ve seen recently is “$299/month, $0 security”. I dunno what the hell a security deposit is but you look at the fine print and they still want thousands before you leave.
What’s super frustrating to me recently (and others) is trying to find a car and you go to cars.com or a dealer’s website and it lists it. So you call. And it’s gone; it was never there. Their search engines are, I think, tapped into corporate’s supply chain but incorrectly showing vehicles as available even if they are already reserved.
You can make that up on gas savings.
You’re just a chauvinist who doesn’t want me to have my $600/m Suburban

Sadly $1408 on a new M4 probably isn’t that bad in today’s market, especially if you can even find an in stock unit.
I did chuckle at the “end of lease buyout is significantly lower than you will get at the dealer today ($47,122.10)”. Well no shit the RV in 3 years is lower than the new price…

Wow it’s insane. Must have paid at least $20k mark up something like that.
Is that Matt Farah?
No idea, it’s part of a Private Facebook group that I was forwarded a screen shot of.
Is possible he found negative equity somewhere in this market to roll into the Golf? I mean how else get to that payment???
