Better luck next time bro ! <| sep |> Well , her line does say Heroes never die . for a price ! What price ? Idk . <| sep |> The idea that leases are always a bad deal is actually a common misconception . They CAN be , but you need to run the numbers and compare vs buying . In the end the majority of your lease payment is comprised of a fixed , agreed upon amount of depreciation based on mileage and estimated value of the car at lease inception and at turn in . These factors are very similar to what determines your depreciation cost from owning a car and then selling at a later date . One advantage to leasing is that you hedge against any loss in value of the car when you try to sell it , for example if it ' s been in an accident . Looking at Model S lease numbers at face value though I don ' t think it ' s a good deal to lease a Tesla . I might be wrong on this but I think Tesla takes the credit when you lease and your payment is based on a car at MSRP with no credit .
