    POLL: Did you lease or buy your Tesla (or other EV)?

    For those leasing: are you in your first, second or third lease? Drop your answer to this 2nd part in the comments :)



    Here's what a few drivers had to share...

    Of course, buying, who needs leasing?

    Business who can write it off as an expense (cost similar to owning and writing off depreciation, but simplifies accounting). For personal buyers I don't understand why anyone leases.

    I looked at a 2 year lease on a 2018 Leaf but the offered rate and down payment would have been around 7.5k / year. Totally insane! I immediately said thanks but no thanks when I saw those numbers and the dealer never tried to sweeten the deal, so clearly wasn't very motivated.

    If you are doing high mileage, buying an EV is more cost effective.
