Just can't rationalize the lease cost

[dlass0123]

in Los Angeles they have plenty: at first no sales since the prices were so very high: they lowered the lease payments: YOU CAN bargain HERE< with good discounts: shop in internet manager sales: and offer much less and or wait: they are going DOWN: sales are very slow and here there is plenty of inventory:

I am going to wait until April 2015 and find the reasonable price for a three year lease

<<<<Don't believe Elon's marketing hype. The battery tech in the Tesla is nothing more than a series of off the shelf sized batteries, like everyone else is using>>>>>

This is not true. The i3 and e-Golf are not off the shelf but state of the art lithium nickel manganese cobalt solid core laser welded aluminum frame, unlike Tesla and some others

What is the current best residual for a 24 month 10,000 mile and 36 month 10,000 mile lease?

Thanks

with a changing market and new advancements coming SOON: a short term lease (2-3) years
at the best price you can find is GREAT: then you can get a new one with all the great
advancements with BMW and other companies and truly enjoy the ever changing and
advanced electric car market: can you image in 2020 going 1000 miles on a charge?

Agreed about the short term ownership of the current cars, but I don't want to carry around the battery capacity for 1000 miles of range on a single charge, no matter what year it is.

You missed the point. By 2020, if not much much sooner, the giga-watt-hour battery for 1000 mile range, if not millions of miles, will certainly be no larger or heavier than a AAA cell, or maybe two. :lol:
