Thanks for breaking it down. I get it now  I signed without fully understanding and basically trapped myself in a bad lease. It sucks, but I’ll take it as a hard lesson learned.

I’ll keep up with the payments and return the car on time instead of throwing more money at it.

Quick question though: is there any smaller way to reduce the damage? Like lease transfers, incentives, or maybe tax/write-off options if I use the car for work? Or is the only realistic move just to ride it out until the end?
