I have a Red / White / Carbon / 21 Model S Plaid that I am able to take delivery of next week. I ordered this car over a year ago, minutes after it was announced. I currently have an M5 Competition. Because I ordered the Model S so early, I have the $10,000 discount and I added full self driving when I ordered the car, so essentially have FSD for free. Total price of the car is $140,190, ordered today would be $10k + higher.
My thoughts are that I would select to lease it, put $1,000 to $2,500 down for 15,000 miles per year. This makes the lease payment $2100 - $2150 or so.
I could drive the Plaid for a month or two to compare and decide if I want to keep the M5 Competition or the Plaid. Do you think I would have a difficult time getting rid of the plaid by lease transfer given all of the above?
Seems to be a harder to get color combo, but the main benefit with mine specifically would be that I paid $10k less than you can today. I wouldn't want to make money on it if I decided I like the M5 more, just straight lease transfer out of it.
I am trying to think ahead of time worst case scenario of I like the M5 more, ways to get out of the lease and how difficult it would be.
