Won't be on the Model 3 since lease terms aren't out yet, and Tesla doesn't publish the residual value on their website (at lease I can't find it for the Model S nor Model X). As far as the Bolt, I need to find an ad that specifies the residual, or I may just use the Leasehackr calculation for the residual and hope that it's close. Stay tuned, I'll announce on the lease deals page when I'm done updating....

So I agree with you, leasing a Volt is better deal than buying one in your case (and in mine!). If I have time this weekend or next, I'll write up something on the subject....<br /><br />Thanks Joe!<br /><br /><br />vinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02433676519012443740noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5924289570962917246.post-15211734209365143322015-02-16T20:40:32.402-08:002015-02-16T20:40:32.402-08:00So...

My plan is to lease another Volt (I leased a 2012 for 2 years) for 3 years, then turn it in and buy a Tesla (hoping that the Tesla 3 will be available. I am guessing that in this case leasing a Volt would be a better deal. Oh, and I am self employed so I can write off part of the lease.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04212748130247714403noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5924289570962917246.post-2738363961830329132014-07-23T07:57:53.508-07:002014-07-23T07:57:53.508-07:00Yeah, the FFE is a real bargain right now.

FFE is perfect for it (80 miles round trip, L2 charger at work), no need to carry lots of stuff or go very far. We don't need the extra cargo capacity of the RAV4 EV on a daily basis, but have to have it on Saturdays when we do our weekly foraging for food and supplies at the big box stores and Wal-Mart. vinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02433676519012443740noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5924289570962917246.post-4046664126425989422014-07-22T14:20:48.140-07:002014-07-22T14:20:48.140-07:00The prices on the FFE is a lot cheaper now then be...The prices on the FFE is a lot cheaper now then before. I'm thinking of selling or trading my Rav4EV and switching to buy the FFE mainly because of costs. Sure the rav gets better range, but that's not necessary for my daily drive. On weekend trips to visit family, the range of the Rav is too limiting and require charging. Charging in itself is difficult with a small baby at this point. Was able to do this before the baby popped out. If Tony had the jdemo ready at this point, then I wouldn't bother switching.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08182103112147997964noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5924289570962917246.post-39550757336687475832014-07-21T20:05:06.773-07:002014-07-21T20:05:06.773-07:00Hi Long!

If not for the intoxicating torque of the RAV4 EV, I'd say the Focus Electric is the one I like the most. Love them both!<br /><br />I leased the RAV4 EV and will pony up the residual to make it mine. I also leased the Focus Electric, but I will turn that one in and buy or lease a 2016 FFE, if available. As for the Volt - I will turn it in (it is leased), not sure if I'd go for another new one unless the electric range is increased and the instrumentation is improved (emphasis is on MPG, not mi/kWh or Wh/mi). vinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02433676519012443740noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5924289570962917246.post-53846708966932895672014-07-21T11:57:52.244-07:002014-07-21T11:57:52.244-07:00So which one do you like the most out of the 3 vin...So which one do you like the most out of the 3 vin?
