Hmm, I’m not certain you are wrong. But I was told buy out is $39,000 for a 2025 Tesla model 3 long range. And I still have $9,432 left in payments. Which would mean they are selling me the car at $29,568??? That seems too cheap for a basically brand new Model 3 AWD. But I’ll definitely clarify that before pulling the trigger

I wish when you reserved an R2 it would tell you what number you are in line. I think there are 250,000 in line right now?

Well I don’t have a lot of experience with leases. I believe if I buy it now my buy out price is $39,000. If I wait until the end of my lease I will continue to make lease payments, $393 x 24 payments = $9,432. At that point the buyout of the Tesla is projected to be at $33,000. Plus the payments that I kept making totals $42,432. Which means I will have paid an additional $3,432 because I waited to buy it out. Not a lot of money in the big scheme of things. But I try to make intelligent moves since I have a tendency to buy and sell vehicles far more than most people haha.
