FWIW, "fire sales" are bad things:
As far as leasing goes:
Nah, I drive way too many miles for on-site service appointments. Most leases start at 10,000 miles a year.
You keep bragging about the Tesla fire sale
A fire sale consists of selling goods or assets at heavily discounted prices. "Fire sale" originally referred to the discount sale of goods that were damaged by fire. Now it more commonly refers to any sale where the seller is in financial distress.
A new auto lease could work for people like you
Semantics aside, you've been mentioning how good the Tesla deals are. I don't think anyone is saying they're in "financial distress," at least not yet. Obviously they are pulling demand levers as hard as they can.FWIW, "fire sales" are bad things:

My main point is that auto leasing isn't the best choice for most consumers, regardless of how good the terms appear to be. It may not work specifically for your miles driven, but I was conceding that leasing for businesses can be valid. I'm sure there are some other scenarios where it's justifiable.
People blocking traffic with their big rigs should be summarily executed on the spot. Isn’t this fun?All the people setting cars on fires should be charged with domestic terrorism and given life sentences. They have to go down hard on these people. We shouldn't have to be afraid to own a certain brand just because some wackos hate the owner so much that they'll destroy your property.
Have you considered buying a used Lighting? Surly a used Lightning does not cost $70K.I keep eyeing the F150 Lightning, but I just can't justify paying that much for something that won't last my life time. 70k is about where they start once you factor the sales tax. With the tariffs it will probably go even higher.
Even the gas car prices are absurd now though. Like 50-60k for a regular pickup or SUV. Think I'm just going to stick to buying used gas vehicles for now, owning an EV is just going to be a dream. Even used, you have to pay a good 20k or so to get something that's not already rusting out.

Unlike all y'all, I don't need or buy new vehicles.
It does not get that cold here.
Life in prison for vandalizing a car? Really? That makes sense to you?All the people setting cars on fires should be charged with domestic terrorism and given life sentences.

Fixed it for you. You should be getting angry at the billionaires who are setting out to destroy the world instead of a bunch of normal citizens standing up against them.

It would probably work for you then. They are getting dirt cheap. I may be selling my Leaf 24kwh soon and will probably be in the $2500 range. I'm also tempted to strip the drive train and put it in my ranger, but hate to junkyard an operating car.guy on another forum has an old leaf, he put a hitch on it and goes to the lumber store with a trailer, drags logs around his place etc just generally abuses the heck out of it. It won't lay down.
Most of our drives will be <10 mile round trips. a little range reduction for running the heat is just not a thing.
