Hi all.
I am new on here. I used to have a Nissan Leaf but have been in a Diesel Passat for the last couple of years. I am hopefully in a position to order a Tesla Model 3 later in the year but I can't decide whether to go all out and buy it outright (I could just about do this) or to get it on a lease.
I am slightly nervous about buying outright because of the depreciation over 3-4 years. My Leaf was bought at 18 months old and I got it for a bargain because they depreciated like crazy. I know that Teslas supposedly hold their value better than a lot of Cars but the model 3 is so new we don't really know what it will be worth in three years.
Whats peoples views on this? Tesla's PCP suggests a value of £16k for the SR+ after 4 years so is it fair to say it should be worth about £20k after 3 years with 30-35k miles on the clock? If so then it might be better to keep the £40k earning some interest and lease?
On the subject of leasing does anybody here lease their Tesla? If so are there things that you lose out on such as access to various services in the app or any problems registering to use Superchargers?
Sorry for all the questions, I will get reading through the forum to see what else I can find out!
