Not sure if this was mentioned but I was considering leasing a Tesla. The
lease came out to $1600/month for an $81,000 Tesla more than three times
the $499 that I am now paying for the lease in my $51,000 Infiniti Q50.
When I asked why there was such a price difference, this is the answer I
received.
"Well, that is the question I get to answer every day. First, Infiniti is
a high volume vehicle, with a long history, this makes money available at a
ridiculous low rates, backed by Infiniti. Also very aggressive residual,
and residual history. Higher interest rates, plus lower residual, and a
vehicle $30000 more equals higher payment. It’s hard to compare any of the
manufacturers deals to the Tesla model.
The Tesla is a fantastic car, but because they are in limited quantity,
high demand, and virtually a new manufacturer, you can’t compare to the TV
advertisements run for bulk vehicle movement."
Thank you,
