>From my point of view, which no one agrees with, I see why Tesla dosnt want to >lease them, once they sell them, they have the cash on hand, 2, all they have >to worry about is warranties ,3 no one would buy a large dollar car thats nearly at its battery life end and have to sink a nother 6 or 7 K$ into it from the start, 4 service would drive the car to the auction yard and then you have a lower value to the product line , which may or may not bring future sales down . People who buy High end cars arnt as dumb as you think, they know once the warranties are up, that cant afford to have repairs done, so they dump it back to the dealer, before the lease is up .
When I had my European car service and restoration business in Florida I did extremely good, every time I saw a Mercedes come in with the windows down I know the rent was paid for for 3 months A/C work LOLOL. BMWs the same thing, Audis anything wrong with them paid the rent for a few months , High end cars look pretty, but the cost to much to keep shiny,LOLOL one I remember well had a Lambo Countach , He bought it new in Miami, they told him, To keep it in warranty he had to have it tuned up every 6 months @3,000$ !!!!! I told him NO way, I could do it for 1500$......12 champion spark plugs , but he was wealthy, and it didnt bother him to have the clutch replaced @5,000$ ,,cheap at that price too. again, Leasing a high end exotic makes sense to a gas car, not leasing a electric makes sense too,for the maker,,, besides, leasing is another word for ..renting -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
