I was actually thinking of doing the same thing as you, I could probably get them to put me in a 2024 right now for a lower payment (my current payment is $520), but I don't want to lease anymore, and I have my eye on the Model 3 Performance . That's probably going to be my last car for a long, long time

Nothing final yet. I like Ioniq5 and EV9 so I would look at those first before I expand my research. Fortunately for me, our local Hyundai dealer is not anything like Amirza's
I have 6 months left on my lease and will most likely lease again. I don't like the idea of buying an EV

If I could get an Ioniq 5 N for about $60k, that would be a car on my list. They are so limited in number and the mark-up is so insane, I don't even want to think about it. As far as leasing, I would only lease an EV...unless it's a Tesla. I have no issues buying a Tesla and keeping it for 10 years. At this point I'm getting pretty tired of payments, so I don't want to lease if I don't have to, unless it's like a $200 a month payment

IF you were interested in getting another P2, they would get you out of your lease 6 mos early and into a shorter term lease (27 mos).
After this lease, I may get into a P4 after it’s been out for a while and if built in the US like the P3 will be to avoid hefty tariffs.

p4, performance suv

from the website:

p3, starting at 73,400
p4, starting at 54,900

why is the p3 so much more expensive?

P3 based on Volvo EX90 so 'bigger' without 3rd row.
P4 smaller 'performance' SUV, but bigger than P2 fastback. Again Macan sized.

ok so looking at p3, it seems a bit like a tesla x competitor... interior is very nice, and it has an air suspension. i think their "p" numbering scheme is goofy, lol

The P4 is very compelling to me, but spec the way I want it is above $70k. The Model 3 Performance gives me everything I want at more than $10k cheaper. There would have to be an amazing deal to pull me away from Tesla

@MDlexus I'm curious, have they improved the infotainment screen? I found that if I continually update the apps, it runs better and doesn't crash as much, but it still runs slow, sometimes Google maps takes awhile to load. How is the infotainment screen and software on your new P2?
