I wonder if it makes more sense to lease vs. buy now (since self driving, electric, etc. technology is progressing quickly) -- it seems like lease discount/money factor isn't going down as quickly as it should with these cars. (I've never bought a new car, and never leased as a car, but probably will get a new EV as my next -- an S, 3, or Bolt.)
Owning is great if you keep the car for 8-12 years like I've done, but I can't imagine any EV sold today being competitive in 5-10 years, even with software upgrades.
- tehwebguy 9y agoFYI leases on these just went from like $300+ / mo with a substantial down payment to sub $150 / mo with effective 0 down in California with incentives.
