I don’t own a Tesla, but if you do — and are leasing — here’s some useful information. https://hachyderm.io/@inthehands/114093623096181343
Hachyderm.ioPaul Cantrell (@inthehands@hachyderm.io)OK, from the replies, some useful tidbits:
- To end a Tesla lease early, you don’t have to pay the full amount remaining — only the balance •minus• the car’s current resale value.
- Cars depreciate, so you’ll lose some money. But…
- …if the used market is dropping fast, Tesla’s official resale value will probably lag behind reality. Thus breaking a lease actually •can• take money straight out of Tesla’s pockets.
- To maximize this strategy, people should break their leases •soon• and •simultaneously•. Coordinate a campaign!
Would still really, really, really like somebody with professional expertise to work all this out.
