[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It almost never makes sense to lease a car. [/quote]

Except in the case of EVs.  The tech is changing so rapidly that you may well want to replace/upgrade sooner than you otherwise might want to.  A lease also gives you an easy out if it turns out that the tech doesn't suit you.  And, if you do like the vehicle and the residual value justifies it, you retain the option to buy the vehicle at the end of the lease term.  Sometimes leasing incentives also bring the total cost of ownership well below that associated with an outright purchase, but that needs to be considered case-by-case.  [/quote]

[b]That’s idiotic. It’s not like advancing tech renders your car immobile. [/b]

Occasionally leasing can work out better for low volume cars but Musk isn’t giving any deals.

They are only operational because they have a lot of capital from being meme stock.  They are a good luxury car company if you can afford repairs and early replacement. Which does speak to the advantages of leases for an unreliable car.  https://insideevs.com/news/731559/tesla-least-reliable-used-car-brands/[/quote]

It might though. What if there’s some new battery/charging technology that comes out that makes it impossible to charge your car except for at home? Sure you can still drive your car but you won’t be able to go on any road trips with it[/quote]

More importantly, what if nuclear war strikes?

Why would everyone go to extreme expense to destroy existing charging infrastructure just to stop getting charging fees from you? [/quote]
