Tesla Model Y Launch Series: Lease Payments Already Increasing!

Since its launch in France in January 2025, Mobiwisy notes that lease payments for LOA are increasing… but the purchase price is decreasing.

The interesting thing when writing daily about Tesla is that we are privileged witnesses. Thus, on January 24, 2025, Mobiwisy took stock of the Tesla financing options to avoid regarding the new Model Y Launch Series.

At that time, we hypothesized a 36-month LOA (Lease with Purchase Option) for the new Tesla Model Y with 30,000 kilometers. The minimum down payment was €1,000, and we calculated monthly payments of €1,006 with a purchase option of €35,374. Therefore, the final purchase price was €71,575.

Now, as of February 16, 2025, the monthly payments have increased to €1,084, a rise of €78 per month, or €2,730 over the entire period. Meanwhile, the purchase option has dropped to €32,325, bringing the final price to €71,252… a decrease of €323.

Why is Tesla increasing its prices?

The same goes for a 60-month LOA, still with a €1,000 down payment: the remaining 59 monthly payments increased from €838 to €881. At the same time, the purchase option went from €26,833 to €23,786, with the final price dropping from €77,275 to €76,751 (-€524).

Note that leasing offers (LLD) have not seen any change in their rates. So, what does this restructuring of LOA schemes mean? Simply put, Tesla is leveraging the increase in monthly payments to gain better short-term cash flow, which benefits its finances that seem under pressure. Tesla needs cash immediately, and the lower prices of the Model Y currently appear to be put on hold.
