I guess the other question is does a lender still consider it a new purchase when you do the buyout?

So you are saying that until the law is changed, you can early buyout and get the credit?

Yeah I would have bought one already if they could confirm it. I’m sure others would too

I don’t think anyone is questioning that paying cash is better than a lease. The bigger question is can you pay it off the first month on a lease so it’s cheaper than all options.

Has anyone posted the actual clause in the contract?

Until someone posts them actually doing it with cybertruck it’s not worth it to try it unless you are ok going through with the entire lease. If this can be confirmed, I’d buy it today.

Correct, this is a nice savings if the early buyout is a guaranteed option and only includes the fees that he says.

If he is somehow right it is definitely a deal, but a dangerous game to play with legal documents and the tax man

If it’s Tesla leasing it tho, they are getting the $7500 from the government and passing it on to you, they are still getting everything plus some fees they would normally get if you were buying the car. The difference is the gov is on the hook for the 7500

If it’s a loophole that would sell more cars, I’m sure they wouldn’t hide it. I feel a lot of people have been waiting for the tax credit and if true, this is a nice workaround. I haven’t seen anyone actually compete it so unless that happens, I don’t think anyone will bite. People mentioned...

I agree if we can’t get Tesla to say it’s possible, then it’s too risky. It could be a costly mistake having to pay out the entire lease.

I was texting with Tesla this afternoon and the finance department said this is not true. You still have to pay the full price of the lease even if you are buying it out early. There seems to be inaccurate info somewhere

Has anyone received a leased cybertruck and look into the early buy out option? What are the numbers. Is it really a tax credit loophole?

VIN in the 50k? They set up delivery right away?

Judging by past Tesla end of the year promotions, I think you will see one more promotion before the end of the year. It could be lower financing or something additional with purchase. I’d wait a few more weeks and see what the December promotion is. My gut is also saying that the price will...

Perhaps a lower interest rate is the next lever or else tax credit in 2025 until it gets taken away

Hopefully they will offer some end of year incentive. I have the cash waiting to go but I want to feel like I got some kind of deal or not get hosed like I did with the original model 3

So does that mean you can claim that on your taxes or it’s just like you are putting $15k down on the lease.
