Tesla opens a new door for those who dream of driving electric without breaking the bank… that’s a lot of people!
The manufacturer now offers long-term leasing (LLD) options in the United States for certified used Model 3 and Model Y vehicles. This unprecedented formula allows you to get behind the wheel for a price that is highly competitive.
The announcement was made on X. Customers can lease a Tesla with no down payment and monthly payments that are incredibly attractive. Several Model Y vehicles can be had for less than $250/month with no down payment, or less than $200/month with a small deposit of around a thousand dollars at signing. The contract lasts for 24 months with an annual mileage limit of 15,000 km.
The offers are even more attractive for the Model 3, with some 2018 to 2020 models showing a lease rate of less than $200/month with no down payment! These prices sharply contrast with leasing a new model, which often costs several hundred dollars more each month.
These vehicles come with what remains of the original manufacturer’s warranty of 4 years or 80,000 km, and once this period expires, they receive an additional coverage of one year or 16,000 km provided by Tesla. Customers can also buy their vehicle at the end of the contract, a rare flexibility in the used leasing market.
Tesla plays a win-win game
For Tesla, this initiative has several advantages. Above all, it reaches a wider audience, appeals to young drivers or families looking for a second electric car, and additionally continues to generate revenues from its stock of older models.
In France, the only option offered for used Teslas is a lease with an option to purchase (LOA). This formula is somewhat illogical because it essentially commits the customer to buy a vehicle that has already been used several times. Moreover, these offers are conditioned on the payment of an increased first lease that can reach 6,000 euros! This is entirely off-putting for those primarily seeking a simple lease. The pure leasing offer provided in the United States would therefore be welcome in Europe and could see considerable success if rolled out there.

Currently, only California and Texas are benefiting, but if the trial proves successful, an extension to other states and internationally seems inevitable. Tesla has often started locally before generalizing its offers, and this strategy could well follow the same logic.
