because early on Tesla had misleading advertising that said your lease was $400 and then in fine print it was with fuel cost deducted from actual lease numbers :-)

but of course, in this case of tesla, i don't see why they need to have incentives in the lease deals

All depends on the #..............comparing payment # without details is like comparing dyno #..............

I prefer $0 payment myself

OK so this is probably what I saw since I remembering seeing this - didn't just make this random $400 number up. Such sneaky advertising LOL they got me for sure!

On a change of subject, I was on Autotrader looking at pre-owned Tesla and they seem to be holding pretty good on market value. Most are in the $70k range so their resale value is better than I expected for a $100k car. Given many M5's (2013) models are already in the 50-60k range.
