Buying out a Tesla lease?
Has anyone come to the end of their Tesla lease and been given the option to buy the vehicle? I know Tesla for a few years has not allowed you to buy the vehicle at the end of the lease. I believe the rationale was that they would be unveiling robotaxi functionality so Tesla would want those vehicles back. Given that FSD has been delayed so many times, I wonder if Tesla has relented and allowed lessees to buy their vehicle at the end of the lease .
I don’t qualify for the $7500 tax credit if I buy the vehicle but would be able to get the benefit of the $7500 tax credit if I lease. However, I would want to purchase the vehicle at the end of the lease. Other carmakers like Rivian and Kia allow people like me to lease their vehicles, take advantage of the $7500 “rebate” and still buy the vehicle later.
