If anything, Tesla seems to be going in the opposite direction, because their cars usually become available for lease only a a couple of years after the release. All while most other car manufacturers tend to offer lease options immediately on release. Case in point: Model 3 came out in 2017, but wasn't available for lease until April 2019[0]. Other car manufacturers tried getting into subscription-based models a few years ago, but don't seem to be that successful with that. BMW introduced their All Access subscription model in 2018, it got discontinued just earlier this year[1]. The rest who tried similar subscription models seem to be going the exact same way too. 0. https://www.usatoday.com/story/money/cars/2019/04/12/tesla-model-3-leasing-standard-plus/3445401002/ https://www.usatoday.com/story/money/cars/2019/04/12/tesla-m... 1. https://www.theverge.com/2021/1/14/22231451/bmw-access-subscription-shut-down-nashville-cancel https://www.theverge.com/2021/1/14/22231451/bmw-access-subsc...
