Tesla Lease Return | What's The Process | Lots Of Surprises | 

I wouldn't worry about it. This is basically with any vehicle. If anything, it's more easier to do it with Tesla. But like the guy said in the video, don't modify or change the car whatsoever. And when repairs are needed, call Tesla and have service done to it. You owe them nothing for the service, by law. If you end up scraping the wheels, just eat the fees. Not that much tbh, still cheaper than buying used wheels yourself.

Yeah, leasing is def a wiser choice. On any high-end car, really. And it's usually way cheaper. Don't have to pay out-of-pocket for repairs either :) And the cool thing is when your lease is up, you can get another lease on a newer Tesla. They might even cut you a deal if you were always on time with previous leases.

You’re welcome thank you! This was def a surprise to me as well. Something to think about!

@@PhonesAndDronesso the Tesla website says you can upgrade to the next car after you return your lease. How does that work? You get anything at all towards the new lease?

Can you remove a sticker yourself?

Why would you buy FSD on a Lease???

@@dandan1364 yeah lmao .. Rekt noob lul caught in 4k lining Elon's pockets xD

It’s common knowledge you can’t transfer FSD between cars… that’s why they have the monthly subscription option

an fsd on lease? lol isnt that stupid?

Be very careful doing that. I did that with Nissan on an Altima. I got a final bill for the total amount of the car. I called them and asked why since I was under mileage, they told me they never recieved the car. Turns out, the dealership I had returned it to, parked it and forgot about it. It was resolved, but had to notify the credit companies so there was no dings.

@@ghostJC1126 Leasing an Altima? That's a new one, lol! But I guess it's wise since those are known to have CVT transmission failure.

@Joshtheweatherman why would that be new and funny? It was perfect for my mom?

@@ghostJC1126 I never said it was funny? I’ve just never heard of someone leasing an Altima.

@@Joshtheweatherman you laughed out loud so must’ve been funny. You never heard of it yet there are a bunch of advertisements for them. I find your comments very odd.

They have to reprogram it… takes time and is a hassle for them. $50 sounds right

You’re welcome. Best of luck. Let us know how it goes!

@@PhonesAndDrones Just got the Self Inspection done...I pointed out all the issues including measuring tape next to the issues. They only send me the $170 for the 2 wheel 4 inch curb rash which is expected. I'll update soon. So far no tinted glass fee or issues with small scratch or paint chips I pointed out.

@@kylehill4437 how was it?

@@eccentrek6324 Still dealing with Delivery day tasks...so far the lease bill remains at $170 for wheels. I definitely do NOT recommend leasing Tesla's is pretty scary not knowing if a huge bill is inbound.

@@kylehill4437 I'm monitoring this post as well. lol. My lease is up next year.

No under mileage but about 5k and no major chips

@@PhonesAndDrones Did you receive any credit for being under miles?

Nope. Zero. This is common though

@@PhonesAndDrones that figures...bunch of Tesla crroks charge for every thing but turn a blind eye to low miles.

It’s lost they don’t give you anything or any incentive. It’s pretty disappointing.

Its .25 per mile

Not a good lease return process, but window tints should absolutely be removed. Not everyone wants tint.

I will not buy a car used if it has aftermarket window tint. Reason is, if that window tent was not put on professionally I’ll end up with horrible looking windows from bubbling and having to remove it myself. Also if the rear window wasn’t done right it could mess up the rear defrost system leading me to have to pay to replace a rear window on top of it.

It takes 5 min to remove them lol

Yeah, In your dreams. Tesla doesn't row that way.

Leasing is silly. Especially for this company

Never put down money on a lease. That’s a huge waste.

Just like leasing any other car, some people just don’t want long term commitment on payments.. and some just want new cars periodically.. Other than that there’s no special advantage between leasing or buying.

There’s no buy out. End of lease would be the end of lease. Even if you sold it, no one would buy it with a month or two left.

@willywonka2164 not true. Up to 2022 there was no buy out for lessee but it could have been sold to 3rd party.

Interesting. So how does that work? I just went through the process with Tesla and they said i had to return it at the end. If I drove it for 30 months and sold it to a 3rd party. Wouldn’t they be obligated to give it back in 6 months?

You are still eligible for the credit. I got it

@@PhonesAndDrones isn't the 7500 baked into the lease, isn't that what makes the Tesla less expensive with a T3 at 299/month ? you got rebate on top of that? im a bit confused

For comfort/privacy for the 2-4 years you have the car.

@@joshuab1707 Well my friend, I would never put in money on something that I would. need to take back. But that's me. If you buy it yes but lease? Never!

All about the comfortability it give. I like the privacy also. Worth it to me

@@reinaldocruz1787 as he stated, Tesla is the only company who charges or requires you remove tint. In my experience as well, with Toyota at least, they do not require you remove the tint. They consider it a "value add" item

@@joshuab1707 That is not true, the reason that I personally don't put on tints on leased cars is because they have asked me to please remove them. And please guy's please read your lease terms and condition when you lease a car because not all dealers are the same and don't have the same conditions as others. I have leased Volvo, BMW and they both asked me to remove the tints from the leased car. Anyways, is a waist of money because you don't get that money back.
